Hi. I found a pigeon lying face-down in the dirt on the side of the road -- apparently from starvation and exhaustion in the summer heat. When I picked it up, I noticed its legs were limp. I have had it for a week, feeding it and giving it physical therapy and Nekton MSA on a daily basis. He is energetic and happy, but sadly can only move around by pulling himself along with his beak and wings on the floor (and beating the crap out of his breast-bone).
Now it can actually bear its body weight on its legs, but only when I prop it up; it still seems to have no sense of balance.
In any case, I am in the NYC area (queens) and need to leave for about 10 days. I was wondering if there were a good-hearted person out there that can care for this bird while I am gone? I will pay for it -- say maybe 20 bucks a day..?
