Question

found injured racing pigeon


hi all real great site by the way and great to see you all love pigeons


I found a pigeon in the middle of the road on friday and looked like it had been hit by a car, he was hit or flew into a car on his left side and is missing an eye because of it when we first got him home blood was streaming from his eye and had a swelling just on the left side of his head but now its sunday the swelling seems to have disappeared the eye has now healed over but cannot see, also he seemed to have a kink to the left side of his neck (where he was hit) and his head just lols to the left the neck doesnt seem broken but when he sits his head lols to the left and the centers again and he keeps on repeating this over and over.
He seems to have purked up since friday, but we are worried about him due to the fact the he is not eating and i have to hand feed him water on a cotton bud every 2-3hours.
he seems very hydrated poo normal and inside mouth from what i can see is normal.

can you advise how many times he needs to be fed water and how often he needs to be fed food and tips on how to feed him and what to feed him.

thanks for reading and any help would be really apreciated as my family are avid animal lovers
I have named him cyclops because he has only got one eye
