The Bird Cage … ( Pigeon Proof Bird Feeder ) … Due to recent problems with pigeons getting on to my bird feeders I decided to invest in this “Bird Cage”. I initially thought the gaps were going to be too small for the bullfinches to fit through, but I’m pleased to say I had no need to be concerned.

well where i live there are these pillars that birds nest on and every year we see a mother bird and its babies. some reason this year one of the babies hatched and fell from the pillar in front of my apt. and neighbors (who don’t speak english) put it in a box with leaves, a bowl of water and rice at the bottom of the bowl. ?:(
i understand there customs are different from us american (they are indian) but I’m not sure what i should do, if i can help in any way, if i could buy fish bate for the bird or something.I’m very concerned because the box just sits outside the pillar it first fell off of.
if you have any info on it please share as soon as possible I’m not sure how much longer it can take being in a box without proper care and food
I feel horrible. There were pigeons nesting above my door way and they hadn’t been back in a day or so. I saw a baby pigeon down on in the grass so I figured it was time to tear down the nest. Got a broom to get it down (about 10 ft high). Thankfully I caught it in a box, one of the pigeons didn’t leave the nest.
The nest didn’t survive the fall but the bird did. It doesn’t appear hurt. I put on my gardening gloves and moved it to a safe spot to let it be. I came back and it was just stuck there, shivering. So I got a thermal shirt and put it inside it, introduced its beak to a bowl of water and some soaked up graham crackers and tried to provide it a shelter.
I don’t know what’s next but I feel like crap. Is there anything I can do to ensure it makes it through the night? Tried calling services but its too late at night.
What should I do?
One more thing, I felt its crop and it was full, kind of balloony feeling. Is that a good sign for tonight at least?
During a wind storm, this dove/pigeon (baby) fell out of its nest and the nest is gone. But the Parent birds are still hanging around. I put the baby bird in a box and the mother bird went down to it, fed it once or twice, and then just watched it. I went out there a few times to check on it.
And now only the father is out there not near it just sitting in the tree. the baby hasn’t eaten for more than 8 hours. I’m scared and i dont want it to die. What should i do. i have this cage that i put it in and it doesnt have a top to it, i thought that would work that way it cant get out and the parents can still get to it. will that work.

Been wanting to attract pigeons into building a nest on the balcony of the town house I live in heard one out near the balcony today! went out to look and sure enough there was a male pigeon on the roof! he stood there and looked at me long enough for me to say hello before taking off. I put out some bird seed and hope he’ll come back, (maybe with a mate) there’s a section of the roof that sort of drops down, there’s also a metal panel that underneath which I’m guessing is for draining rain off the roof. Doubt it’s the best place to build a nest
Think I should put one of the wine crates out on the balcony and try to get them to use that?
It seems he’s selected that part of the roof as a nesting spot since this the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve heard a pigeon on that spot.
The crates were used to ship/hold wine and are unstained wood. The ends of the box are 6 1/2 inches tall and the sides are 19 1/2 iches long. No slits on the sides or ends, it’s all solid wood.
Would like advice!
