Yesterday, I came home from school and immediately checked to see if my young pigeons were home yet. They've only been flying for about 1 week and a half yet they are venturing far out. Anyways, since they weren't inside, I decided to take a stroll and perhaps see if I could spot my two pigeons flying around. However, since I didn't see them, I came back home. But! Just as I opened the door to my house, a saw a hawk spiraling overhead. I decided to go see if my pigeons were in yet but no such luck. By this time, the hawk had disappeared. Fearing the worst, I grabbed a rock and patrolled the neighborhood, hoping to scare away the hawk if it was my pigeons he was after. I was returning home after a long walk, convinced they were safe, when my two pigeons, one white one black and white, swooped in front of me, a hawk on their tail. I was screaming and yelling yet the hawk took no notice and instead grabbed my black and white pigeon. I was convinced my pigeon was dead, and after searching EVERYWHERE for three hours, I still could not find him. My heart like a stone, I walked home, where my white pigeon had already arrived, scared to death. Later that night, at around 9:30, I happened to look out the window, and saw my pigeon sitting on top of the loft!
Okay, well, long story short, my pigeon is rather injured. He has a few talon marks on his leg, but my main concern is his wing. It's drooping considerably, dragging along, yet he can still fly moderately well, yet a little unstable. Which means he didn't break it right? What should I do to help heal him? Will he still be able to fly 10-20 mile distances?
