Heartbreaking... can someone help?http://newyork.craigslist.org:80/brk/pet/821357348.html
Injured Pigeon (Sheepshead Bay) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to: comm-821357348@craigslist.org [?] Date: 2008-08-31, 6:27PM EDT There is a very injured, one-legged pigeon, with a broken / maimed right wing in the vicinity of Haring Street & Avenue Z in Sheepshead Bay. I first spotted him in the side parking lot of the Nostrand Shopping Center on Haring off of Z. He can hop a little, but can't get very far without falling over. It is incredibly sad to look at. I tried calling all manner of veterinary-related places to see if someone could pick him up or care for it (my landlord won't let me take it in the house due to possible disease [?]), at least until after Labor Day when Animal Care & Control, or some manner of rehabilitative shelter is open. No one would take it, so it is left to fend for itself, which is heartbreaking. I really hope somebody sees this and is interested in caring for an injured animal. Please respond if you are interested and I would be happy to direct you to the vicinity of where the animal is (I left it a bowl of bird food). I know there's someone out there who is not adamantly against caring for an injured pigeon in their home. Please respond ASAP. Location: Sheepshead Bay

The ad has been posted to the NYC PIGEON RESCUE CENTRAL yahoo group and I've answered the ad asking for a phone number so Dan from the yahoo group can call the person, get more details & arrange a pickup. I'll keep everyone posted of course.

Sending good thoughts. I wish the original poster had thought to put him in a box or something. I mean, does the landlord inspect PACKAGES??? It's not like a cat who's going to meow inside a carrier after all!

 I too thought of that... I suggested to the posted that he/she could possibly sneak the pigeon inside in a shoe box until Dan could come pick it up. I haven't heard back from the poster yet - but am hopeful that I'll hear something soon.

It could be a case where she just rents a room in someone's house, which would make it diffult. I was forced to do that when I first moved to NYC a long time ago as I couldn't afford anything else. Horrible, horrible living situation, but sometimes you just gotta do what you have to. If I still lived there I would go help for sure.

He is saved!!!Bob and Phyll found the poor baby
Here is Phyll's post on NYCPRC: Bob & I checked both parking lots & there were no pigeons around. We went around the entire block looking for the injured pigeon. As we walked, I prayed out loud, begging God to let us find him if he was still there. We didn't find him & arrived back at the car. I went back to the large parking lot. There he was, in front of me, standing in an empty parking spot with an SUV starting to pull in. I said, "Please watch the pigeon," as I ran to get him. I was happy to see that he had enough stamina to try to get away, & I was SO happy to find him that I started to cry. As people looked at me, I said, "Thank you, Jesus!" then brought the pigeon to the car. This poor soul is bad condition. Aside from having only one leg, his tail & both wings are messed up. Thanks to all who prayed for his rescue.
