Found pigeon yesterday


Bird is now more responsive, has stopped repetitive back and forth with head, and now seems to be accepting a little water from an eyedropper. Eyes still aren't open (this is an adult pigeon.)

Stands but doesn't move.

Hi

What was the head movement like? Was it like twisting it's neck round, or arching its neck or how? Could give an indication of what the problem is with the pigeon.

Sounds like blunt trauma, especially with the closed eyes. Could have flown into something like a plate glass window. Did you find him under one?

How's he doing ? is he more responsive ? Update, please. Indeed sounds like trauma from a collision with a window or something.

It's been 2 days so he needs to be eating something by now. report back, please.

And thanks for helping the guy....
