pigeon in chicago - where to get help?

[PattiRMA]

Good morning,

My name is Patti and I live on the far south side of Chicago. This morning,
I noticed a pigeon that was very close to my front door. Unfortunately, it
seemed to be in some distress. It was listing to one side as it walked and when it tried to fly, it could only manage to go a few feet before it had to land again. :-(

I (easily) captured the pigeon in an old baby blanket and gently tucked him
into a box, which I have placed in my garage. (I can't bring the bird into my
home, because I have a dog).

I'd like to help this bird, but keeping it would not be possible. I'd be so
afraid my dog would get it. If I take the bird to the local animal shelter,
I'm pretty certain they'll just euthanize it.

Do you know of any organization in Illinois (preferably close to the south
side) that might take the bird and tend to its injuries? I half suspect, tho,
that it ate poison in our alley -- the city puts rat poison out to control
rodents. :-(

Any help you can offer will be most appreciated.

Thank you,
Patti
