Wing Feathers
How long does it take for pigeon’s wing feathers to grow back?
My boy found a pigeon in the park that can’t fly. It can get about 3 feet off the ground then crashes back down again. It has too many inside wing feathers missing. It is healthy and bright eyed. We caught it and are feeding it on wild bird seed and dried meal worms.
1. How long do I have to keep it until it can fly again?
2. What medication can I give it get rid of any mites my kids might pick up etc?
3. Should I keep it in a small pet carrier cage, or should I put it in a very large rabbit cage I have?
The cage is in the kids playhouse with newspaper and hay.
Any help gratefully received as I know nothing about birds, and yes I know it’s vermin, but if my boy (aged 6) wants to help an animal in trouble I have to support him.

!. Stop feeding mealworms, pigeons are grainiverous. Give it a mixed seed mixture.
2 – if the feathers have been cut, then it will take about 4 -5 months for the natural molt to replace them.
3 if the feathers have been pulled out either by a person or predator, then the replacement feathers should begin to grow in within ten days and be fully grown within a month – please don’t let the bird try to fly while all the feathers are in the blood quill stage.
4. Rabbit cage is better without a doubt.
NO it’s not vermin.
As to any lice or mites on it – just go to any grocery or pet store and pick up a spray for parakeets (budgies) that they use for mites and lice and you can spray the bird with that. Keep the spray out of its eyes. Pigeons lice and mites are species specific and won’t transfer to humans. Red mites are a possible exception to that, but if as you say the birds eyes are bright, then the chances of red mites are at about 0.5%
