Help!


We were driving today and almost hit a pigeion. He wouldn't get off the road. We looked in the rear view and he almost got hit by several cars so we pulled over. He wouldn't get out of the way of someone walking across the road and the guy kicked him. I'm not sure if he got hit by a car, I didn't see it but I don't know how long he was in the road for. We ran over to save him from the mean guy and scooped him up in a jacket.. and now we have no idea what to do with him.

We bought some bird seed and he ate a little bit and he drank some water. But he won't fly! He doesn't appear to be injured. He looks kinda old.. but I have no idea what an old pigeon really looks like. The SPCA won't take him, and I have no money to take him to a vet. What should I do???

He's living in a big cardboard box with a towel in a quiet room.

We're willing to keep him and look after him but I'm worried he may be sick.... help!! I'll be checking this forum every hour or so... I took a couple pictures of him in case somebody can look and see if they see anything the matter with him... any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Sincerely,

Sarah and Brandon
