Hello. I'm sorry to have my first post be one asking for help, but I don't know where else to go. Where I work, I have found a few baby pigeons that fall out of the nest. I suspect that some passers-by are throwing water bottles at them and knocking them out, based on the presence of bottles up...

Hi, We rescued a baby pigeon, Wilf, yesterday. He appeared to have fallen from a tree along with his nest and sibling, unfortunately his sibling was dead. When we found him magpies were pecking away at his sibling and it looked as though they'd been trying to get at Wilf too so he was very...
