Hi i Am like only 15 so I have no money And I need to know How to make homemade baby pigeon food and hurry im running out of time!!!!!!! He Is more than 4-5 days old and has all of his feathers????
ADVICE!!!???

Answer
Wet cat food, for now. Or pidgeon starter food. Go to your pet store and buy some food for him, or take him to an animal shelter where they know what to do with him?!

edit:
If you're not going to give me a decent rating, don't rate me at all. You haven't been particularly polite to me, no pleases or thank yous; and you asked me a question on something which isn't my specialist subject- did you even look at my profile?

I CAN'T ANSWER QUESTIONS ON ANIMALS OTHER THAN CHICKENS/DUCKS/GEESE- I WILL TRY BUT THEY ARE NOT MY SPECIALIST SUBJECT- PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME QUESTIONS ABOUT BUDGIES, FINCHES, PARROTS, COCKATIELS OR OTHER 'EXOTIC' BIRDS. I can answer questions on pretty much all CHICKEN breeds, including fancy and bantam birds. I can give advice on how to get the best egg production, brightest yolk colours and darkest egg shell colours, breeding (using broody hens, not incubators), bird problems/illnesses. I can give advice on all aspects of basic chicken care but I breed chickens for my own pleasure only, I do not often show or sell my birds.

Experience

I own and breed a wide range of chickens, but I speciallise in cochins and crevecour bantams; crevecours have a large crest (an afro!) so I can answer questions on problems concerning them; cochins have feathered legs, which leads to no end of problems which I have experienced! I also own a large flock of domestic, rescued 'battery' hens, and a single maran hen, Hilda, who is the matriarch of her flock, so I can give advice on how to get the best colour of maran eggs!
