Wild pigeon...

[Wildpigeon1]

I'd imagine there are a huge amount of these threads on here but im one of those people who cant stand to see suffering...especially when they cant tell you!

Well long story short there is a warehouse at work which is often home to lots of these little guys and a person at work knows Id happily nurse any animal back to health. (I have hand bred different birds but know not a thing about these!) ...anyway...he was holding it and told me he suspects it cant fly very well as he just picked it straight up. It doesnt look like a fully grown pigeon but its no baby either, I took it home in a box and when I opened it he did fly around a little although when I put my hand near him he climbs on. I tried to calm him down so sat for half hour stroking its head, I felt its heartbeat slow and it began to relax and close its eyes.

I then put it in a box with some water and wild bird seed and i've just noticed he's eating and drinking fine.

Although....sorry to be graphic...its poo seed very widely splattered in the box when I opened it at home.

I havent a clue what I'm doing so think i'm in the best place.

Thanks!!!
