And as far as how thick to mix the formula, depends on the bird's age. The younger, the thinner the consistency, and always make sure the formula is the perfect temperature- I'd have to look it up to remember exactly where it needs to be. Can't be too cold or it'll give the bird a sour crop, and if it's too hot it will burn his crop and possibly even burn a hold in it. And as far as the method, the best way is to get a dixie cup(not styrofoam) and put a hole big enough for the bird to be able to open his mouth fully (or his beak may get temporarily stuck in it) and to get most of his head through it. Place this hole about 1/3 of the way down from the bottom of the cup. I just mixed the formula in the dixie cup with the formula just below the hole that was made in the cup. Place the hole of the cup around his beak and it'll stimulate him to eat. Just as the baby bird would naturally feed from the inside of his mother's mouth, the bird will feed from the cup the same way. This method is genius and works like a charm. I had found it online and was a little skeptical at first, but it's great. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. <br />TaraTara D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14797590557545631844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945662381953536459.post-45153747428127522162009-07-02T17:43:52.465-05:002009-07-02T17:43:52.465-05:00This was a very sweet story.

How on earth did you get the baby to start taking in the formula? What intruments/tools did you use? Baby doves are notorious for being difficult to handfeed.Lulunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-945662381953536459.post-90684880887888436192009-06-22T02:18:38.632-05:002009-06-22T02:18:38.632-05:00I agree with Holly.

We gave him to a park that had other doves inside a outside habitat type of thingy. I think he was happier ut there.The Fredshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159061010459169902noreply@blogger.com
