broken bones

Dear all, For you who don't know I live in Montenegro with not a single vet who knows much about birds. I do bird rescue and work with what I have :/ as there is no other organization and institution in the whole country that does it. Recently they brought me a female pigeon who could not fly...

I live in Tampa, FL and have recently seen an injured pigeon (not in my custody). He frequents the spot where employees are eating, he can fly but his feet are very messed up, I think he may have a broken toe and other problems I couldn't see. He usually walks a few steps then lays down and...

A few days ago my cat (a male russian blue mix) escaped and stayed out all night. When he finally returned the next morning he was limping and was all scratched up. The scratches are healing up fine but im more concerned about his tail that appears to be broken at the base of his spine... I...

Found an injured pigeon downtown Portland today. It's now temporarily in a safe environment with food/water, but can't stay here. Called Audubon Society, but they don't take in pigeons. Is there a rescue group in Portland?

I'm in the Sherman Oaks California. My neighbor found a pigeon in her front yard which can't fly. She put it into a large cat carrier and called me (I'm the animal person on the street). I know nothing about birds. The only bird I tried to save died at the vet, so I don't feel good about that...

I just received this one about an hour ago .. It's been a long time since I've seen a duckling in such pitiful condition. The pictures are heartbreaking, so look at your own risk. I will be getting the duckling on a proper diet, starting antibiotics, getting it cleaned up, and pretty much...

One of the pigeons that come in my garden has been very ill yesterday and today I managed to grab her and take her inside. Since yesterday she started to walk funny and now when I inspected her wing there are some bones sticking out a bit or it could be some stuck together feathers, she is a bit...

Tonight my husband brought home a pij that was in the water at the marina and after reading I have decided he is ill with a virus. He twists his head and is dizzy and falls over I cannot give him rescue fluids because his head moves all over the place. I have him in the house on a low heating...

Hi Guys Can someone help? Last night in the dark storm (daddy white dove) came crashing to the ground from the first floor window. We saw him fall through the patio window, I don't know whether the wind blew him, his son pushed him off or he's just ill. We picked him up, couldn't find...

Hi everyone, Can anyone recall any threads that might help me with my latest injured pigeon? This is a young bird, found on a sidewalk near a building where lots of pigeons roost. He cannot stand on his own. Reflexes in his feet are good, unable to grip or put one foot in front of the...

It's missing a foot which is an old healed injury and has a large gash under it's left wing several days old. It also has a healing indentation on...

I came across a pigeon who was just sitting in the middle of the street. I knew there was something wrong when he did not move as a car approached it. I flagged the car to stop and rush to protect it from other cars approaching (i live in a very poor neighborhood, so animal care is not a top...

Hi everyone. I have a question my son Ryan went to go get Pesto out of her cage and she wing slapped him twice hard. Why? Don't know she has never done this before anyways her right wing is hurt and her wing from the flight feathers to the tip is droppy, should I take her in or what should I do...

Hi everyone, My plans to capture a healthy feral pigeon and attempt to turn it into an in house bird has possibly changed. For one, the pigeon I had decided to take has not been at the daily feedings for five days. It is possible that it is OK, such as sitting on eggs, or it is possible...
