Hi,
There is a pigeon in my garden that has been there all day. He's eating and drinking fine. Normally the pigeons stay at the end of the garden, but this one made me jump by being right next to the house and the table and chairs. He walked off casually and hid himself behind a flower pot. I was concerned and put some food down for him and he came out to eat.
He tried to take off but flapped a bit (to about knee height), then tried to jump onto the chair but didn't make it. Thought he might be spooked so left, but later on I found him sitting on the back of a chair... then I thought he had flown away but then found him scrambling on top of the open window towards the roof (live in a bungalow).. He had a sleep on the window sill next and now he is on the floor..where he hid originally..
There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with him, he had a wander around the garden and is eating and drinking fine.. My mother says that he is probably just old.. but I really don't want to leave him out there even if this is the case..
Any ideas of what might be wrong?
Or anyone had similar experiences?
I've taken in a few pigeons before, but it has always been clear that there is something wrong..
Thanks in advance!!
