Need Halp Asap,dont Know About Pigeons Er Er Er

[ANGELOUT]

What a wonderful group you are, bless your hearts each and every one of you. My little big guy just took another sip from dropper and the seed was moved around and a seed was in his water bowl, so looks like he was snacking while i was watching tv. i sure hope he makes it, that would be cool. Thankyou so much everybody, it makes me feel good to know people care, I am always amazed i get myself in these predicaments! A least i am doing better than the pigeon.

THANK YOU VICTOR!!! You're an angel...........I had to get off line last night and felt SOOOO bad,.........felt like I was letting this poor person down somehow. I sure hope this pidgey pulls through!!

[Victor]

The pigeon is now in my care. Angelout had him in a nice makeshift loft with a space heater near it for warmth. He appears to be a young checker male, and looks very much like our Rosco. I am saying the pigeon is a Male from first observation, as his neck coloration is very bright. I washed his feet with warm water to remove the soil that had collected, and gave him warm electrolyte solution. His head is upside down for the most part and I noticed he has a small pointy growth on top of his head. Keeping him isolated, warm and quiet for now. He did reach out and scratch with his beak near his tail feathers as he held on to my index finger as he lay on his side. Resting right now, but alert.He did flap his wings a bit and nip at me when I was washing his feet.

Good news........glad you've got him now. Thanks again. We'll watch to see how he progresses........

[Charis]

Of course we'd love to see a picture...
Thank you, Victor for taking him in.

Victor, thank you so much, you are my hero. I am so very grateful, i just love animals and couldnt stand to see him suffer, it will be wonderful if he makes it through. This is the second pigeon my son has found downtown in this shape. He was a pretty bird, maybe since he is young he will be able to pull up. I am having a heck of day with this blustery cold weather, my dogs hate to go out for more than a minute but want to sit here and eat all the time, not a good combo and i have several feral cats i shelter and they havent been seen today, so i am heartsick thinking now they may be in danger of freezing tonight, we are having a 30 below wind chill in Omaha. Mother nature is a B****, what an efficient community you all have here, thank you for helping me and the birdie, and Hector you are the bomb!!!

Victor is wonderful, no doubt, but it all started with you and your son. thanks to you and now Victor, this bird has a chance.

Well, it sure helped to have you jump in and line this up so fast. I have been thinking about birdie all day, dont think this could have worked out any better for the bird than it did, one lucky little pigeon to have been found and end up with a specialist. This pigeon thing is interesting, trying not to read too much...SO I DONT GET INTERESTED,LOL!!!

Oh, go ahead and get interested. Pigeons are wonderful.

Here, read this.

Now I am not going to read anymore of these (sniffle sniffle) I sure hope he can fly again, the way I am putting this together is this PMV is a debilitating severe flu that renders the bird completely helpless and they crash into buildings or end up grounded in precarious surroundings because they cant fly, hence they get a physical injury on top of the virus, they must suffer terribly poor things. OR does the virus affect the CNS, hence the twisted neck? Sorry, just want to understand.

[ANGELOUT]

Ps...why Does Their Neck Turn And Make Their Head Look Upside Down, Does It Hurt Them???

[Jay3]

So nice that this turned out so well. It's wonderful that there are such caring people out there to step in, even when they haven't an idea of what to do. Then to go searching for information and help with the bird. And for Victor to go and get him. He's in good hands now, and at least has a chance. I'll bet he makes it. It has all worked out so well up to this point. I think he's where he needs to be. Good luck Victor, let us know how things are going.

[Victor]

ANGELOUT,and all concerned. I post this with deep regret

that the pigeon did not make through the night. I found him expired early

this morning when I went to check on him. He must have had some other

negative things going on that prohibited a recovery. I did my best. I am

saddened that he did not make it. But, be comforted to know that because

of ANGELOUT'S son and her, he passed with love and people who cared

behind him. Thank you both for not turning your backs on a downed pigeon.

AW Victor........that's too bad. But like you said.......he was warm and cared for when he passed. Thanks so much for trying.........there will be others I'm sure..........

Victor, I am truly sorry. Bless both you, Angelout and her son for helping this sweet pigeon.
