I've had birds come in before in my balcony but never a pigeon like this, i use to do wildlife photography so I've a little bit of bird handling experience but tbh not sure about this one
He was stunned & was refusing to fly away and eat anything, though yesterday I got some health recovery powder from a vet store mixed with water & gave him the water which went quite well and he was more active compared to the day I found him(4 days earlier in my balcony)
Today after feeding him the 3rd Time he's successfull idk seems he's migratory bird.
Anyway what do you guys do like how do you feed a scared bird? Do you force feed them with a tube and all that or you just put food near them which never works for me.
Update: this yellow footed green pigeon is now gone, it got his strength after having some papaya and that strengthening water from that dropper and left my balcony., I'm a little sad ngl :(
