blind

I have a pair of pigeons nesting in my balcony and the day before yesterday, the 16 day old babies were attacked by a hawk. The hawk killed one baby and the other was injured. I attended and applied medicine on the visible injuries like on its tummy and under the wings where the hawk caught it...

Hello from a really green newbie Last week my wife and I needed to go to the grocery store to get a few things. We took our dogs with us and as we left the house the little one barked an alert and ran over to the tree in our front yard. He didn't touch it, but we was sniffing at a downed...

I recently found out that my pigeon is one eye blind. I bought him like this already. The picture above is the blind eye. Smaller than the other side. And i'm planning to let them fly out with his friend/mate after 2 weeks, do u think it's a good idea? And i'd like to know what do u think is the...

Hi everyone! I found a blind pigeon - i know he's blind because his eyes are missing... He's very calm and gentle, but i don't know how to feed him. Can he smell the food if i put it in his cage? Any advice? Has anyone been up against this sort of challange? Thank you!!

Aeiou. So yesterday I found a pigeon which was attacked and injured by a hawk or some sort of other grey bird. I drove it away and brought the pigeon home because he didn't seem to be in a good condition - his head was bleeding in a few place and he barely could open his left eye. He also...

Hello there fellows, I have a racing pigeon that was hit by a hawk a few months ago and he was badly hurt, luckily, I was able to scare the hawk away on time, 2 deep holes in the body, one in the armpit another at the back, spitting blood, right eye badly hurt. I thought he wouldn't make it but...

Advice? - stop the rolls I recently brought home a parlor roller from a pigeon supplies store in LA where someone had dropped off some birds. He was missing all the feathers on the top of his head, underweight and with quite a dose of lice and mites. I figured the least I could do was get him...

So I swung by Jedds pigeon supply in Los Angeles a few days ago and while there he mentioned someone had dropped off some birds while he was away- pulled out an almond young bird and said it was a parlor roller (has 2 bands one for APRA) that only did a pancake flip when he tried it on the lawn...

I found a pigeon with extremely swollen eyes, both eyes. I have never seen anything like this before. His balance is not great but much better then what i was expecting. His mouth is clear and there is yellow crusts around his beak or his eyes. His vent is clean but his poops are tiny. I am...

Hi. I'm in Philadelphia. I've had a feral pigeon for a month, that I believe was gored by a gull. Two deep chest wounds are healing fine, although she can't yet fly; she's missing the middle digit and "thumb" on one foot; and I've just come to realize that she's blind in one eye. I want to find...

Hello everyone, I've been noticing that one of my diamond doves has been spending more and more time at the bottom of my aviary with my quail. Since they're buddies, I didn't give it too much thought, but upon closely observing her today, I discovered what her eyes seem to be sealed shut...

Hi! So, recently I acquired a baby pigeon from a man who raised many of them and this one in particular didn't seem to be growing well, because the mother wasn't taking enough care of it. I got the baby when it was about 4 days old, and I have been hand rearing it with Kaytee exact, and it has...

Hi - I am looking for someone who wants to adopt my pigeon. He is a fancy variety, but I do not know what kind exactly. I think he may be some kind of roller. He is red checked on his body and wings and has an all-white tail and head. He is blind in one eye from an injury that happened...

Hello from another new poster. We have been rescuing animals for years and releasing when possible, keeping when not, and 5 days ago I found a young wood pigeon on the path, and he was blind in one eye, so he would take off into things that he couldn't see-a parked car and a tree, for example...

A beautiful pigeon has started visiting our garden each day, he is a mixture of pinks, coffee colour and white tail, he / she is just lovely. I put food and water out on our shed roof as he prefers that to feeding off the feeder . I thought he looked slightly odd and today I got a better look...

Hello- A lovely couple rescued a hawk-struck feral pigeon fledgling three months ago and took it in and kept it as a pet. They knew it had a terribly injured eye but believed it had vision. They are moving out of the country and have surrendered this young bird whom they named Lucky to me &...

I have a flyer who wants all white pigeons. He has purchased a group of young birds from a reputable person that races whites. One of the birds would not fly off the landing board. He could not figure out what was wrong and was going to C#@&% the bird. Log story short, I have the bird and it...

I have a sick little sparrow near my feeder. It seems to be blind it tries to rub his eye or side of his face on the ground to possibly rub something off. It looks like he has eatenbecause his crop looks sort of full and he did a poop. Is there anything I can do for it ? It doesnt fly away when...

Our 8 month old pigeon got struck in the head by a closing door on Monday night. We took him to a vet and he said there were no injuries that were visible to any part of his body including his neck. His right eye was swollen but he said there were no visible signs of any issues, no scratches or...

I work at a wildlife rehabilitation center and three weeks ago a baby dove was brought to us and she has no eyes. They must have never developed while she was in her shell because her head is very small and narrow. She has tiny eyelids that are about a third the size they would normally be, yet...
