Thank you for rescuing this pigeon, and welcome to our forum.
Please tell us where you are located? We may have a member near you who will be able to help. If possible can you take the bird to a Vet? If so please tell the Vet that it is your pet otherwise they will most likely put the bird to sleep if you tell them he is a feral bird. First of all is the bird bleeding? Have you will able to find the entry wound of the BB? Where is the wound located on the bird? If the bird is not bleeding, first try and remove any feathers that could have been pushed into the wound from the BB impact. Next please disinfect the wound by using hydrogen prioxide or benidine solution. The bird could possibly be in shock, so it is important that the bird be kept warm and calm. If possible place the bird in a pet carrier or cage with a heating pad set on the lowest setting with a towell between the bird and the pad. Provide a small bowl of water for the bird. Hopefully there will be other more experienced members along shortely that can give you more detailed advice.

I certainly understand your anger, however confronting a person with any type of weapon is probably not the most logical thing to do.
Why not take some photos of this knucklehead in the act and file a complaint with the police? Cindy

Steven, many thanks for rescuing this pigeon. I doubt any one on the forum can really help with this since the bullet is still in him. He does need to be seen by a vet. Costs can vary. If you can locate a licensed rehabber in your area, they may have a vet who does "freebies" for them and can take him over. Try calling your state wildlife department and find out if they have a list of licensed rehabilitators who care for birds and just call some of them.
I'm glad this idiot knows someone will watch him. Maybe he will stop shooting birds now. Could a moderator please move this to the sick and injured forum? Maybe others who look at only that forum can have more ideas.
