Question: Baby pigeons were ruinited with their mother on ground. However, they’re alone on the ground at night. Can we possible bring it in just for the night to keep it from harms way, you know, protect them from any possible predators of the night? Or leave them there?
Whole Story:
Alright, so here’s how it goes. First we got my story. Alright so my brother found two baby pigeons outside on our yard…well not necesarily our yard but a grass area near out car drivethru…can’t really explain it guess you can call it part of our yard. So we found them there and I thought that they were orhpaned or something cuz the nest seems to have fallen down too. So after hours I checked and thought that they really were orphans, so brought em in. We didn’t feed them or give them water cuz it was already night. So they stayed for the night…The next day, which was today starting from the morning, I attempted to feed it and give them water by reading all these responses from what people wrote..It turned out fail, and I was on a fail streak all the way till noon. They already kept on crying for food. I had no idea how to do it still..all the things I read were complicated, mom was being a baser, saying “Err, Im not going to buy food for just those little birdies” So I was on the verge of giving up. That’s when I thought alright that’s it rehabilitation center is the best option….But then my mom was still being a baser saying “err, Im not gonna take them to some center place” I know. what a baser. I almost gave up, as she decided to just leave them out there to “die” basically, though she disguised it by saying “Just leave them out there. Wait their mom just might pick them up…Just let them lay there and ‘find the light’. You know how many pigeons are like this? This makes no difference” I was really depressed. But no, this guy won’t give up, especially when it comes to birds, no matter what. So I called Humane Society of Broward, who directed me to Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Ft.Lauderdale. That’s where I reported my story, and told them that they were pretty much orphans, and that if they could bring someone here to rescue them since of course my mom wouldn’t take action. He said that someone will call if he finds someone to do it. So then I was just praying and waiting for them to call…That’s when suddenly I saw my mom bring in the shoebox where we kept them with them inside and said “there was a pigeon close nearby but I scared it..I think it’s their mother” Shocked, I took the initiative conclusion that it must’ve been a predator. But just in case I decided to leave it out there and see what happened….That’s when I saw a pigeon nearby…asked my mom if that was the same pigeon…Said yes. So we waited near the door, looking to see if the pigeon would approach them. I knew that that couldn’t their mother….I was wrong. After what seemed like 30 minutes, the pigeon swooped nearby. I was ready to take action in case it may be an enemy. That’s when I saw the two little birdies jumping with ecstasy, so much that they were actually able to get out of the box themselves. I felt relieved and rejoiced as well, and surprisingly so did my mom. Yah, turns out she cared about them too. Watching them, together, ruinited, and watching their mother feed them, I felt something really meaningful, something deeper than just regular pigeons in a part of nature. It made me feel warm inside…So there they were sleeping, full. That’s when I got a call. It turned out to be someone from the Center. Told them everything, and told me that that was “awesome, that it was natural, and that I should just keep eye from time to time”. So everything is now great. However, me and my mom were wondering, if we could just bring them inside our house for the night, to protect them from any possible predators of the night, though they’re pretty camoflauged at night. Please answer as soon as possible…Thanks for reading this btw xD
Yoo. Thanks Clovicat for answering, and uh yah, I left them alone. Right now though, they’re near out front dear, and about two-three times a day their mom would drop by and feed them. Right now it seems like they want to fly. Hopefully I wont be in school when that happens -.-. Anyways, thanks again!
Oh yah, turns out, they’re not baby pigeons, they’re baby mourning doves =).
