My Baby Just Loves My Pablum

Yo 5th Day now and the baby just is not getting fed by the mother!, He eats a bit on his own. And I must feed him. Mother sits beside him most of the time. Just don't understand why the baby hasn't had a full stomach. So I must feed him. Any suggestions why the mother is not feeding the baby anymore? And Is Pablum ok for Pigeons? It does not have rice in it. Rice Expands in the stomach. very bad for birds. Dangerous. Anyway thanks for the feedback.

Perhaps the mother is not feeding him because of his age. When squeakers get to 3-4 weeks of age, parents usually stop feeding them, and they need to ba able to fend for themselves then, or else they need a little help from us. The other possibility is that parents do not feed youngsters who are very sick, but surely that isn't the case...?

As for Pablum I had no idea what that was, so I had to google it. It seems like a good idea, if you're not able to obtain hand raising formula for him, but please note that the vitamin D it contains will not be absorbed by the bird, it's only for humans. Homie will need vitamin supplements suitable for pigeons, and especially Calcium with Vitamin D3 if he's getting no direct sunlight.

Are the feathers on his face and neck growing yet?

yeah his feathers grown, nails longer, he's quite a Dog with wings. Im hoping soon my Blog will explain his behavior in full. But you all should have a look at how he is doing now. After Vitimins and A Pigeon Angel here even gave me my first first-aids kit. Full of medications, fake eggs, gravel, I got hooked up, So did Homie Bird. Hes so happy check em out @ my Blog
