We are raising two baby pigeons. They are about 13 days old, and we have been feeding them Kaytee baby bird formula. I know that it's important to let their crop empty before feeding again, and that feeding is supposed to occur every 4 or so hours, or about 4 times a day. My problem is that my pigeons seem to digest very slowly, and I haven't been able to feed them more than 2 (typical) or 3 (very rare) times per day. Their crops seem to empty very slowly. Is this okay? They always want to eat and I want to make sure theyre eating enough, but I'm terrified of giving them any issues on account of an unemptied crop. Please help!
