Woody the wood pigeon

Question
Hi, a baby wood pigeon fell from his nest in our garden yesterday, he is a little bruised but otherwise ok. He still has a little yellow fluff and is just getting his feathers. Can you help me and answer the following,how old do you think he is, what should I be feeding him, how much and any other advice. Will I be able to release him when he is older or should I keep him?
thanks sheryl (UK)

Answer
Hi Sheryl,

I do not have any experience with wood pigeons, but is it possible to place him back into the nest? I have found a forum that can help you out. Here are a few specific pages about wood pigeons and you can even ask a question if needed:
