    A banded Turkish Tumbler pigeon showed up with an injured wing so I took him in to recover especially because there are a ton of predators where I live. I am new to pigeons. Each day I take him out in a cage for fresh air. A white banded racer pigeon would stay next to his cage and ultimately...

  5. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    Hello all fellow bird lovers Me and my friend rescued a pigeon more than 6 months ago. We work at a cafe, he kept coming in and stealing food. He had apparently done it for years. The cafe management tried to get rid of him. One guy even threw a box at him and injured him, he lost a finger on...

    Greetings dear people of this forum. Sadly, i live in Serbia (South-East Europe) where i can't ask for any help from fellow pigeon rescuers in person from this forum but i am hoping you can give me an opinion on this pigeon's state. I rescued him/her this morning (i'll just call him "he" for...

    The pigeon seems to have developed but the tail feathers haven't yet come out, there are bird pox like bumps on his head, I think it's just started because there are only two-three, no cheesy growth in the throat, and it cannot fly, just flaps its wings around. But it looks like he has been...

    Hi, I do hope this is allowed, admins please delete if not. After several pigeons were found in Glasgow with stringfoot and other problems, it was felt a group should be set up to share knowledge and experience as well as practical support for those in Scotland concerned with their welfare. It...

    I recently rescued 2 baby Zebra doves whose nest was destroyed in an apartment building corridor. The smaller of the pair was not well, with injuries and lots of feathers missing (suspect nest was attacked by other birds?) and died after a day or two but the bigger one seems to be doing well...

    Hi so I have a pigeon with pigeon pox. She's had it for two weeks almost and she's quite looking quite lively but the lesions look bigger than they ever have and she's still getting some new ones. How can I know if and when she's getting better?? I'm being very careful with hygiene and...

    Hello! Rescued this beautiful pigeon we have named "Snowbird." He was all tangled up in human hair and barely surviving when found on a busy sidewalk, but he's doing much better now. He does still have a injury on his one talon (may possibly be something that can be removed, but he gets very...
  12. I found a pigeon or dove - now what?
    Hello! I rescued this beautiful pigeon I have named "Snowbird" from near certain death. His feet were all tangled in human hair, and he was hobbling along the sidewalk. I freed his feet, of course, and he is doing wonderful, but he still has an injury on the bottom of his one talon. I cannot...
  13. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Hey everyone, Wonder if anyone can tell me what the following motion signifies, if anything. Baby puts head down low, straightens legs and humps his back - much like the manoeuvre a cuckoo chick uses to push an egg out of the nest. I first thought this was a pooping posture, but it doesn't...

  15. Wild or 'Feral' Pigeons
    Me again, so "Pidge" (yah I know, how original!) who turned out to be a girl, had laid 2 eggs, and as recommended on the previous discussion I had here, I left them. She eventually lost interest and after 21 days, I took them out because she didn't want anything to do with them anymore. I have...

    Howdy -- picked up a pigeon off the street last night. He gave me a little bit of a chase but is/was obviously real messed up. If I had to guess it was a cat that did it. I've got it set up in a little box set under a mesh patio chair that's the best I could put together. It made some poop...

    Heya team, Long time observer, first time poster. My partner and I accidentally rescued a fledgling once upon a time and have been pigeon lovers ever since. We have recently found an injured dove. Definitely a fledgling, potentially 6 weeks old. Has most feathers except under wings. The poor...

    Hi, I found a pigeon in my garden about 2 weeks ago that couldn't fly and just been hiding under the hedge and walking on the ground. Also saw him dropping on his wings when walking on the grass so i caught him and checked on him, he hasn't got any injuries but missing most of his feathers. He...
