Hurt Wild Pigeon


Please help I have found a very hurt wild pigeon outside my work in downtown Portland Or. When he was brought to my attention several crows were picking at his back feathers and he couldn't fly away. It seems he has a broken wing ( It's hanging down very low) also most of his feathers have been pulled out of his back. Though he does seem to be alert and mentally well.

Fallen Angel


Beautiful Pigeon has a vet appointment to have the broken wing wrapped, tomorrow. The bird is alert but has lost all feathers on the back and tail. Also has canker and has one sore foot. Lucky the bird has a Guardian Angel in Tracy because she rescued her from Crows. Probably the bird was initially injured by a Hawk attack.

well done both of you for making the effort and saving this pigeon, i once rescued a sick collared dove that was being attacked by crows so i know how persistant they can be when they gang up and attack birds,i hope the little fellow makes a good recovery

Looking Pretty in Yellow


Fallen's wing is broken in 2 places and likely will never fly again. The left leg is slightly splayed. The canker has cleared up and the bird is eating and drinking on his own. She seems content to sit in her little box and watch the Pigeons outside. She also manages on heck of a mean wing slap with her good wing.
