    Those little sounds they make are adorable. I also love how they're already feisty and fighting with one another in the present of food loll. Mourning doves are adorable no matter what age they are.

      they are not fighting
      its more like they expect food from their other sibling
      baby doves get silly when theyre hungry

    Thank you for all of the questions and comments! I was only trying to let my niece know the chicks she found were doing ok, I hadn't realized this could help others. As Michael mentioned, they grew up and became parents, and the female likes to visit me while weeding the garden. Some other tips that might help, if you are waiting for formula online, stage 1 baby food jars will hold you over. I don't recommend relying only on baby food, because the formula has enzymes for crop health. Keeping them warm is a must, but beware of over heating. A crop that hasn't emptied completely after a few hours is a sign of over heating. Also, make sure the crop has emptied before feeding again. I feed every 3-4 hours. If you experience slow crop digestion, you can mix 1 part pedialite, 3 parts water, 1 part powdered formula and only feed a little bit of this mixture to help digestion along ( and adjust heating!) Most important is to not force feed or squirt formula down a tiny doves mouth because they can aspirate/drown easily. Good luck, and please continue to ask any questions you have! Thanks!

      @@Salchipop I took Wildlife rehabilitation courses and learned about caring for injured or orphaned animals. I also grew up on a homestead and cared for a wide variety of different animals. I know the Internet can be contradictory and confusing, or lacking any information at all. That is frustrating. Good luck with the turtle dove!

    We watched as the doves were making their nest, high in the trees. Last night on our walk, after a strong windy day, I noticed the nest on the ground, and the baby was next to it. That was like 40'.... so we went and got the bird formula, and feeder. Made it through last night and today.... keeping it warm and covered. It looks like these, except his eyes aren't open. Hoping it continues to eat and will be watching for mamma bird :) great video, very helpful.

    I cannot believe I have two baby doves that just hatch about a month ago they still sound like their babies they are now fledglings and are flying they chased there mom and dad around still to feed but the parents are no longer feeding them how they used to feed them it’s so cute watching them chase them the fledglings now are eating solid foods but occasionally I see them sneaking a meal from their mother and dad which are surrogates I have six doves the mom and dad of the fledglings are now sitting on four eggs I have a new couple that is sitting on 2 eggs all in which I think is infertile but it’s only been two or three days so I’ll wait to see.

    Well. a couple of things. First off, you're a compassionate and caring person, and I wanna thank you !! .If this works for you, fine but I'd be interested in knowing the final outcome.
    The corn meal is something I would NOT recommend as it has very little nutrients for developing doves, and these guys are very little.
    As the first Cuban American to ever hand raise a 4 day old Diamond Dove , AND the inventor of the "Zip lock, sandwich plastic bag feeding technique" , I can honestly say there are better techniques at hand, but enough about me.
    As far as feeding, you can try Kaytee exact baby bird formula, then as they get bigger you can mix in finch seed . If they were smaller, you can try Columbae, hand feeding pigeon crop feeding Milk. Thanks again.

It's hard to raise baby animals and sometimes it just doesn't work out. Sorry for your loss. Our babies free up healthy and from what we have observed, they have their own family now.

      No milk. Use a baby bird formula or baby food that's been watered down

      Michael Gilpatrick thanks for reply but there is no pet supply store in India so can if feed it fruit juices or grain juice?? it's a baby dove .

    • @michaelgilpatrick4921
      @michaelgilpatrick4921  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Art Tech & Entertainment well since you have no pet supply stores, you could order online, or, since doves are seed eaters. I imagine you could make a concoction of mashed seeds softened with water or fruit juice of some kind.

      You can make an oat mixture like a watery porridge, and warm up as done here. If you can order woomaroo or other bird feeding formula on line it is handy to have for future bird rescues too. Good luck

    I am working construction at a water treatment plant and the basins were empty all spring so a dove layed her nest in one of them when they filled it with water I came in the morning for work and her nest was gone and the eggs were floating so I scooped them out and took them home and put them in my chicken incubator one hatched yesterday the other I am kind of losing hope on

      Mixing instructions for formula are on the package. Keep it warm but not hot. Feed small amounts at a time, so they don't inhale any formula. If you dont have formula right away, a rice and fruit baby food will hold you over until you can get some. I hope that helps, good luck!

    Hie I rescued 2 mourning dove nestlings. They were in their nest, it was above 3 ft of the ground. I am watching them from yesterday but no one came to them. Now I bring them with me, dont know what to feed them. Kindly suggest. If it's possible to share their pic let me know. From India.
