Baby of Little green pigeon (burung punai daun)

Found this baby bird on the evening of 15 February 2023 in the lab corridor, on my way to the toilet. Fortunately one of the staff recognizes the breed. Which is a baby of little green pigeon (burung punai daun) [1]. I immediately take it away from the corridor. After the staff said the stray cat will devour it if it is left behind. I ask my lab mate for help. End up putting the little baby bird on one short tree branch outside the lab area after a good discussion.

The look of the baby bird on the corridor floor. It already pooped. Might due to the fallen over stress. It did not even try to run away when I start to pet its body.

Can see the baby bird close it eyes when I pet it using my finger. We did try to let it drink by putting water on its beak. And left 1 full bottle cap of water beside it.

Eventually, its mom comes to seek it and encourages it to fly and follow her. Glad to be able to help it reunite with its mom. The decision to leave the baby bird on the tree branch did help it out.

From google search, notice that the baby bird is around 9 days of age. Based on the look of its fluffy baby feathers and some empty fur spot on its neck.

Until then, be safe and creative while helping out the small creature.
