injured pigeon, Worcester, MA areatoday we found an injured pigeon in our backyard. It has a puncture wound under his wing. There is a light brown band his leg, but it is blank. Right now he is in a cardboard box with some towels under our picnic table, we are going to bring him inside soon so he won't be cold outside. I live in Holden, MA...outside of Worcester. Anyone that can help?

April...please bring the pigeon inside. The poor thing probably escaped a Hawk. Once inside we'll help you look him over. Do you have any wild bird seed?
We do have members in your state but one is in the Boston area and one is north of Boston.

April, thank you for caring about this pigeon. If possible, please put him in a box with a heating pad set on low. Cover the heating pad with a towel or a few layers of paper towels.
Use a box large enough for the pigeon to be able to get away from the heat. Please offer him seed & water. In order for the pigeon to drink properly, the water needs to be at least an inch deep. The more experienced members will advise you about the medication he needs, just in case the puncture was caused by a cat. Phyll

If i can help out with meds or anything, will be more then happy to! As you all know, a bit sketchy here with the keeping of pigeons right now, so i was gonna say if no one else could take it i would as a last option. It sounds like it is someones lost pigeon though, there is no numbers on the band? Can you track the owner byt just the COLOR of a band?
And, sadly, if it is a lost racing bird, the owner will likely, not always, kill it if it didnt fly home....
