How do i clean her up? She has Kaytee Exact Formula stuck all over her feathers and her chest feathers are all clumped up! I tried to wipe it with a towel soaked in warm water, but I can't seem really clean her up thoroughly.

plz help!

(im feeding her through a straw. she sucks it out of there...if ur wondering why she's getting so messy. i can't feed her through a syringe or tube b/c baby mourning doves aren't supposed to be fed that way. The baby sticks its head into the parent's throat and gobbles the crop milk right out of the parent's crop; the parent doesn't deposit the food into the baby's mouth.)

  1. Hi! You can use a syringe to feed, as long as you have a piece of tubing with the end cut at the top part, so it can eat out of it. You can also use that to clean the bird, by putting warm water in it, and gently squirting it on the bird so it rinses it off. Good luck!
