Thank you for rescuing this pigeon, and welcome to our forum.
Please tell us where you are located? We may have a member near you who will be able to help.
If possible can you take the bird to a Vet? If so please tell the Vet that it is your pet otherwise they will most likely put the bird to sleep if you tell them he is a feral bird.
First of all is the bird bleeding? Have you will able to find the entry wound of the BB? Where is the wound located on the bird?
If the bird is not bleeding, first try and remove any feathers that could have been pushed into the wound from the BB impact. Next please disinfect the wound by using hydrogen prioxide or benidine solution.
The bird could possibly be in shock, so it is important that the bird be kept warm and calm. If possible place the bird in a pet carrier or cage with a heating pad set on the lowest setting with a towell between the bird and the pad. Provide a small bowl of water for the bird.
Hopefully there will be other more experienced members along shortely that can give you more detailed advice.
