Baby Pigeon food

!?! · 2012-04-20 17:11:53

I found a baby pigeon, it might be a fledgeling as it has a lot of feathers but still some yellow fluff. He was by the side of a busy street and seemed very helpless so I took him home. He doesn't seem to want to eat, he drank water but that's it/ What should I feed him?

pigeons do tend to fledge early and have bare faces. No point pushing new fethers in to parents throats. I would have set it high up
