Tried and failed with a pipette for about 8 straight hours. Applied this method and the bird just full-on went for it. Easily the most practical and useful video I have watched this year. Good work!

thank you so much for the slide video, helped me pause and write, and it sure made my orphan pigeons happier too, so much easier than what i was doing.... it mimics the leathery feel of a parent birds beak sides, mine started gobbling their food down 1st time!! 😍

Hi, great video, easy to understand and to-the-point. One suggestion for folks, instead of sacrificing a syringe, a beverage bottle works just as well if you hunt around for one with an appropriate opening. A little more challenging to get the formula in it but you can always use a food funnel. Much cheaper - AND you're recycling!

Hello!! I am raising a baby dove. I did exactly what you did on the video " he started to eat from the syringe but I found out food was also getting inside his nostrils. I cleaned it out but I am worried some more got to his tract. is that normal? what can I do to avoid it? please help!!

I didn't had the plastic gloves on hand but I had balloons that I adjusted to the syringe easily and helped me tons with my rescue dove. She's now month and half old and I still can't believe I was able to help her this much. Was very lost on how to help and thought she was as good as dead. But she's well and strong, also, the food option was amazingly helpful. We have mourning doves very close to the house that come daily wihtout fail. If a male takes a liking to her I'm thinking I might be able to release her. (I get her out to take a bit of sun and the doves come to visit her), maybe I'm hoping for too much but if she doesnt like any of them she already have a loving family that spoils her lots as I'm hearing a lot that human raised doves will die if released. (Even tho I'm thinking on adding some dove friendly perches and nesting areas so she might be able to stay close by and safe.

Sorry for the late answer, mine survived. She's very healthy but didn't like the outside that much, I think she got used to humans, is why she's not a candiate for release. After I learned that, my second dove I didn't let her get too attached, and was successfuly released. Now I have a third and fourth, as neighbors heard I was able to help them. Even helped a pigeon that also got released successfuly. But for the release to be a success you need to teach them which other foods they can eat, for example, as I'm in a rural area, seeds and broken corn. If in the city, maybe bread, leftovers, etc.

I hope you are a veterinarian. Any bird that has been bit or or even scratched by a cat needs care from a wildlife vet who can administer antibiotics within a very short period of time.

Looks like it would work great except for the fact that every time I tried stretching the glove finger over the tube it rips. I'll get some balloons and try it that way.

priscillapastimes You risk the food going down the wrong way then and that could kill the pigeon! The pigeon needs to be able to feed itself like it would do in nature. Caring for animals isn't always easy and certainly isn't mess free either!
