Hi Birddogg
It amazes me that people who KNOW NOTHING about birds will offer all this advice. I was pleased that one of our members did tell the person to come to this forum for advice. The "chirping" puzzles me because as one writer said pigeons don't chirp, so we don't really know what kind of bird this person has. It may be a very young fledgling that can't fly yet but it certainly can't survive on its own. If you can get back on do encourage this person to contact our forum.

I've posted a reply including the link to Pigeon-Talk. It's extremely frightening as to the misinformation posted there. It does look like a couple of pigeon savvy people did post with good advice, however.

I used to be on Yahoo everyday to answer questions like those. I'll probably go back on today now that I remember.
Anyways, there's ALWAYS a bunch of stupid answers, which are normally the complete opposite from what would help the bird. It's really sad when the stupid answers get picked as the best answer. People going around saying any sick bird has the bird flu without any knowledge about it, only makes this avian flu 'scare' worse. And it definitely isn't helping with the pigeon reputation!

I marked the 'bird flu' one as a bad answer. I've asked questions about pigeons on yahoo before and I sometimes got answers like they're rats with wings and don't make good pets pfft...I don't buy into it.

Hey Birddogg
Have you noticed the person who asked the question on Yahoo has joined the forum and is asking advice about the little pigeon. Just wanted you to know that it is terrific that you alerted everyone about this little pigeon. You may well have saved its life......good job.
