Hi
Depends somewhat on what kind of cage, how big, and suchlke.
Our experience is that pigeons prefer flat surfaces rather than rounded perches of small diameter; their ancestral instinct would be to perch / roost on cave ledges. In our 'hospital cages' there's often a couple of shelves - they are actually chinchilla cages - but we also frequently provide pigeons with a good ol' house brick to stand on.
(the recovering pigeon in the top cage here had a broken leg, so was given a soft 'towel nest')

(As an aside, we'd normally use clavamox / synulox as an antibiotic for wounds.)
