Help please! baby wood pigeon trapped in garden


We heard a loud bang yesterday evening and found a baby pigeon had flew into our bedroom window, there are feathers stuck to the window and everything! It hung around for an hour or so but later on i couldn't see it so assume it'd flew off. This morning however i've realised its curled up next to a tree stump in the garden and even when i've approached hasn't flown off. What should i do? i've thrown some bread crumbs to it but so far doesn't seem interested. Should i make it a make shift home or leave it be? i don't want it to just die!

I'm going to send your request to one of our UK rehabbers/members for help.

If the parents aren't around and/or the baby is in danger of losing its life to any predators, please do secure the youngster.

Do check this link for resources:

Other UK members will also be along.

Thank you.

The UK resources I submitted were never added to the list on this site so I have started a list of UK resources here:

http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/group.php?groupid=21"]http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/group.php?groupid=21[/url]

Please look at the earliest post there, that has a list by area.

Please take the wood pigeon inside and put it on a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel so that it is warm rather than hot. After half an hour mix 1 pint of warm water with half a teaspoon of salt and half a tablespoon of glucose, or honey or sugar. Pour some into a shallow dish and dip the pigeon's beak into that to tempt it to drink...don't cover the nostrils.

It is better not to offer it food until a lot later.

Can you let us know where you are , theer might be a member close by who can help.

Cynthia

Thanks, Cynthia, I'm going to sticky your post with the link if it hasn't been done yet.
