Dawnie did some research, and came up with a concoction to feed the pigeon. It is disgusting looking but the bird likes it and seems to be thriving on it.
It still isn't much for eating from a dish, so Dawnie feeds it by hand, several times a day.
Sometimes, it will pick up a bit that it dropped. Silly thing has no attention span, and is easily distracted. I told her the bird acts like Homer Simpson, so we may call it Homer.
Or maybe the critter just likes Dawnie to hold it. Works for me. [;)]

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A sharp increase in drugs and cellphones found inside a Brazilian prison mystified officials -- until guards spotted some distressed pigeons struggling to stay airborne.
Inmates at the prison in Marilia, Sao Paulo state had been training carrier pigeons to smuggle in goods using cell phone sized pouches on their backs, a low-tech but ingenious way of skipping the high-tech security that visitors faced.
"We have sophisticated equipment to search people when they go in, but they avoided this by finding another way to bring in cellphones and drugs," prison director Luciano Gamateli told Globo TV.
Officials said the pigeons, bred and trained inside the prison, lived on the jail's roof, where prisoners would take their deliveries before smuggling the birds out again through friends and family.
The scheme was uncovered when guards on the prison walls saw some pigeons struggling to fly.
Brazil's overcrowded prisons have notoriously lax security, with cell-phone and drug use common among inmates. Two years ago, a powerful Sao Paulo prison gang used cell-phones to orchestrate a wave of attacks against police and public property.

So what is it, or do I not want to know?
That way Homer would "imprint" on Dawnie and they would be pals for life.
I don't want to know either.
Looks like it agrees with him. That girl needs to be an vet![;)]
Nice pics. [;)][:D]
dry cat food soaked in hot water,bread soaked in water,a little bit of peanut butter,some bread crumbs and cornmeal mix and some birdseed. all mixed together and served warm,,,,not hot just warm..
he is now starting to peck at the birdseed in his cage,,for a little guy that was starving at the shelter he looks so much better now,,
I was feeding him earlier and my 15year old cat walked in to the room looked at the bird and then started to pur and rub against the pigeon,,the pigeon was like ok,,and then pecked her and she left the room..these inside cats donot bother anything i bring in i show them what i have and then its like ok,,they can stay..
Just couldnt resist!!T
for some reason they had to call the game warden to make it sure it was ok for me to take the pigeon,,hello a piegeon is not listed underwild life,,and it is not against the law to keep it like it is a robin or cardnial....
he said to give it to me,,,so now i have this pigeon and he is filling out and doing great
