Found a bird, with a broken wing. Im sure what to do about the broken wing, but he also has a really messed up mouth. Like possibly diseased. He can eat and drink...but..it looks bad. I researched mouth diseases for pidgeons however it only came up with foot and mouth stuff in google. Can u help me identify it and tellme how to heal it.

Please describe what you are seeing in the mouth. It may be canker (trichomoniasis) which is very treatable. Where are you located? If we know where you are we may have a member in the area who can assist with advice and/or medication. Pictures of the bird would be very helpful.

From your description I think it is likely to be canker.

Spartrix (Carnidazole) or Flagyl (metronidazole) are recommended.

Thank you for your care and concern over this bird.

Please do answer the questions and post a picture of the lesions as that would help tremendously! There is also pox going around this time of year with mosquitos on the increase and, while canker requires immediate treatment, pox required supportive care.
