Hello all, this really is a terrific site. I'm wondering if anyone has thoughts on a bird I've recently found. About eight days ago I picked up an injured pigeon here in Saskatoon. He was huddled beside a parking meter looking more like a ball of greasy feathers than a bird so I picked him up...

:confused: Hi I was given a street pigeon today to rehab as it was found in the middle of the street last night, the lady who found her said she thinks it could have been chased out of the sky by a hawk. Now this pigeon is too sweet and doesn't try to bite, even likes to be cuddled. This seems...
