[Noisy_minor]

is that a feral pigeon? why would some one clip all his feathers off???????

What would be the purpose of doing that to a pigeon? What was that person thinking?

Dear Members:

The Raven has gone to my rehabber friend ... prognosis is good..

The clipped pigeon is with me .. prognosis also good! I'm not going to do anything bad to this bird .. it's going to be a permanent here or at
least until it grows all the feathers back!

LOL. You have had quite the collection. Makes it kind of interesting though, with so many different kinds of birds.

S/he will become a surrogate parent and educational bird for my permitted rehabber friend. You need both state and federal permits to "possess" a raven in the U.S.

You cannot legally have a raven or a crow as a pet in the U.S. unless it is one of the exotic (non-native) species. Here is one fellow who breeds and sells the ones you can have as pets: http://corvitude.com/corvidranch.html

These birds are extremely smart and anyone considering getting one needs to do their homework regarding the care, housing, and mental stimulation needed by the bird. I don't think it would work well at all to house a corvid with pigeons.

With regard to the clipped feral pigeon ... I have no idea what the person who did it was thinking. The bird is very healthy and very, very wild and human unfriendly. Unfortunately, dog training does come to mind

thanks terry you cured my curiousity

Wow, what an assortment of problems those birds have! Sure hope the hawk can be helped - sure looked sick.

At least that clipped bird just needs time to regrow those feathers. No wonder that bird acts wild!!!
