His progress is heartwarming. You are doing a wonderful job and TD is obviously a fighter! Great job - both of you!

Thank you all! My fiancee calls me the Bird Whisperer...but I don't know about that! If I had known all the things that can go wrong handfeeding a bird with a crop, I would have been too nervous to try with Miyetti (the Band Tailed Pigeon in my Avatar). I was too ignorant to be too nervous with Miyetti. I read a few things about it on the web, and just did it with her/him. Of course, now I realize that Miyetti was not a mourning dove like I had first thought, but a much larger bird (see attached photos) and had probably received the full benefit of his/her parents care at least for the full nestling period. Poor little TD was probably less than four weeks old when I took him/her. I'd done and did a lot more research on the care of baby birds this time...and I was (and honestly still am) scared to pieces. I don't think I could handle losing TD now. Oops! The last photo was taken on 8/30/16 Day 71 with Miyetti.

We've had a few pigeons over the years years we rescued and most of them sorta bonded and loved hanging out with us and sitting on our shoulders. The last one I knocked out of his nest, well at least the whole nest, when the customer asked me to and nobody had a clue he was in there. Took him home and he was probably a teenager and kinda never forgave me for wrecking his happy home. He really liked my sister though and would fly between us in the yard. He finally mostly accepted me but he was messy and Nerd wasn't thrilled about him so we rehomed him with a nice lady with chickens. He happily lived there with her chickens a while, would fly between her and her husband just like he did with us. One day he noticed the pigeon flock in her neighborhood and flew off and joined them so I think it was a win for him and everyone as he eventually got to be a normal pigeon again.

What a great story! I hope Nerd isn't what you call your sister! What kind of pigeon was it?
