Hello, everyone,
It's been a while since I've been on here, but I found an injured pigeon just about an hour or two ago. Apparently she'd been walking around our house for about two days. She's not able to fly, and from what I was able to observe had the feathers grazed from her wing. It looks rather bizarre - there is no blood or flesh wound from what I can see, but I have not inspected further, worried about scaring the poor thing, which seems to be in a bit of a shock, not eating or drinking. However, she was running around rather fast, looking like a pretty healthy pigeon indeed before we brought her in. Now she just sits there, wide-eyed, and will scoot away from your hand but still doesn't put up too much of a fight if you try to pick her up. I was able to feel a keel bone, but nothing too prominent, however it may have indicated some amount of weight loss.
What do you think I should do? Would it help to examine the bird further, or should I let her rest a little?
Edit: Oops! I accidentally named this topic improperly.
My bad. I'm rather tired.
Could someone change this for me?
