Baby Pigeon Feeding Techniques: Syringe and balloon method

If you are unable to get Kaytee Exact or any other baby bird formula, Chick Rearing Crumbs, soaked in hot (not boiling) water, liquidised and sieved three times is a good alternative. Serve warm (39C) , very thin for a hatchling and gradually thiickening as the baby grows older.

I want to add, that if you have a very young baby, 1-7 days old, they must be kept warmer than 80 degrees... closer to 98 degrees.
