(In Chinese) [ Google Scholar] Though bird’s milk is quite different in synthesis from mammalian milk, it still shares similar health benefits for their young. The crop (in pigeons and doves), esophagus (in male emperor penguins), and whole upper gastric path (in flamingos) undergoes functional changes. They transform from a storage area to a milk-producing organ. These modified functions overcome their environmental constrictions and improve the chances of survival for their young.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Unlike many other baby birds, little doves don’t gape—the mouth wide open, begging for food behavior. When they’re hungry they will root around. The parents provide “crop milk” to their babies.Shapiro, M.D.; Domyan, E.T. Domestic pigeons. Curr. Biol. 2013, 23, 302–303. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef]

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] During the first four to five days while the feathers are growing, a baby pigeon being raised by pigeon parents will be fed crop milk. After this, they will be fed crop milk along with a few seeds. The oldest recorded columbid is a mourning dove ( Zenaida macroura) that lived 19 years and 4 months. Adult annual survival has been estimated to be 40 to 65 percent. ( Wells and Wells, 2001) Behavior

If the fledgling is in a high traffic area, like a driveway or close to a road or sidewalk, move it somewhere more relaxed. Don’t move it across town, because the parents are still caring for it, just move it a few feet away to safety. Beyer, H.S.; Zieve, L.

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef] Your baby pigeon will likely sleep for the first 12 hours after hatching and you won’t need to feed it during this time.Unlike many other species of birds, pigeon babies stay in the nest for up to six weeks in some cases. If it only fell, try and secure it as mentioned before. If the nest is found to be broken or falling apart, a new one will be needed. You can buy fake nests from a craft store, or make one. Don’t be afraid to make them, there are online tutorials to show you how!
