Hi,
I am new to the site. Yesterday I found a pigeon in my backyard and it couldn't fly. It's wings flew all the way open but could not get far off the ground. I waited a while to make sure this was true and a couple of hours later she was still there. I fed her, but the hawks were around and I couldn't leave her out there. She is on my deck right now safe from hawks. From all I've read (I know nothing about pigeons) I would like to get her diagnosed so I know what to do and where to take her. I don't want her in the wrong hands or put down because she can't fly. Unfortunately I've got many animals here and I can't take in the pigeon. If you have any suggestions at all I would be truly grateful. I'm in the Boston area.
