I took this from the dogs and put it in a carrier on the way out the door.
I just looked it over and aside from some missing head feathers it seems fine but it can't fly. Maybe it is just young. We swapped out the fleece for newspaper, gave it a deep water dish because I read they have to submerge most of their long beak to drink, and gave a piece of millet and some cockatiel seed. It hasn't shown interest in any of it. I'm not finding solid info on what to feed it and how partially because I can't tell how old it is. I am out of frozen mixed veggies I feed the cockatiels. At least pigeons are less wild when feral than unhandled cockatiels when raised indoors. :lol: It just perched on my finger so long as I kept it's wings covered and looked around. The places you are bleeding from after a cockatiel bite are not the most painful. It's the places that didn't give and split open when crunched by the beak.
