Baby and Young Bird Diapers
If you are hand raising a baby pigeon to be a pet, a sock diaper is an ideal way to manage hygiene. Click Here for the for the directions on how to make an infant one! (PDF file) Here for a toddler one!
Here is an example of a Youth PGWear it is a smaller scaled down version of the adult diaper.
It is for young birds in their “teens” and "squeaker" stages, with chest size 2’’ or slightly smaller, 4" back or smaller. It can be used to train young birds to wearing PGWear.
It works best on babies that are starting to wander about, and have tail pins of an inch or more, until they grow out of them to the next size up.
The chicks really seem to enjoy being snuggled in the sock, and seem more “upset” when released. They are more likely to sit out and view the world without feeling that need to hide when in the sock, and babies can ride in the Neck-Kerchief quite happily wearing the sock diaper!
The Neck-Kerchief is a baby bird carrier
that you wear around your neck, keeping your
baby close to you for warmth and contact.
