Hello!
An adult rock pigeon I believe flew into the window of my apartment about 8 hours ago and it became what seemed like confused (walking in circles) and sat down to rest on a chair cushion.
It was still there when I checked about an hour ago, and I went outside with a box or towel and herded it slightly into the box. (This was not at all hard. The poor little guy cannot fly.) He didn't seem to even try to fly, but did inch away from me a tiny bit when I got really close (within a couple feet).
It does seem like it keeps picking up one leg and putting it back down. potentially the leg is injured as well.
Now he is in a big cardboard box with some water. The box is open and he could fly away. it's warm here- and I could leave him outside in the box with some water. Or I can take him inside as well.
What do I do now?? I'm worried if I take him to the vet that it will not go well.
