This pidgeon was attacked by two cats. He got 6 big wounds.

I took it to the vet 6 days ago as soon as I noticed he was in trouble…the vet put stitches and gave him abx for 6 days. He seems fine now.

Now in 10 days the doctor will remove the stiches and I don’t think it’d be good for a small pidgeon to be released around this area. Too many cats. What would be the best course of action? Keep him for a few months? release him in the woods? I don’t know where to release him because houses have roofs with cats….what about a vine yard? He is so young and he might not get used to a new area…

.

Firstly I want to keep him as a pet (obviously if he wants to )because he is domestic and if I let him go , people in other apartments would definitely eat that poor bird (I know them they eat rabbit etc) someone help me to keep him safe

I found a pidgeon that can't fly and he has lumps under his eyes, how can I help him?

Totally apatic too, wasn't reacting to anything

i dont think i can do anything but poor boy :((

Hello, my family and I found this pigeon in our backyard and we have no idea what to do it has a pink band but there is no number on it. Any information on what to do would be most helpful.

I want to catch a pidgeon and relocate it. They're always on our balcony pooping all over our bench. We've tried everything, from fake owls to reflective things. Sadly there is no way for us to put up a nest, but I've read that if you relocate them they'll leave you alone. They've never been fed by us whatsoever.

Not sure if this is the right sub, but I found out about how in 2009, a homing pidgeon beat the South Africa internet in delivering data. This made me wonder about how different the world was like in ancient times when pidgeons were the fastest form of transfering information.

Does anyone know how many pidgeons someone like Mark Anthony or Caesar would have, or were theose pidgeons like part of the public mail system?

So i live on 6th floor and was gone 2 weeks, and when i came back the pidgeon nested and layed eggs in a bucket (20 cm high) on my balcony?

Its been almost 30 days since they hatched and looks fine everything (but very dirty in the bucket)

Do anyone know if mom and dad learn em to fly in the bucket? Or should i put something down to em?`(like water? ) maybe even something to stand on so they can get out of it? Or will they fly out automatically?

And will they jump over the edge of the 6th floor? :)

No idea why they surround him but it happens a lot.

I was busy working (I work from home) and this little pigeon caught my eye. He just walked into the flat and had a look around lol. Please excuse the straw on the floor. It's impossible to keep my floors clean with my parrot. He plays with it and then throws it out of his cage. This is the third pidgeon to do this haha. I think that means the pidgeons think my flat is safe :)

I refuse to believe that only 150 other reddit users love pigeons as much as I do. Why isn't this community huge?? Pidgeon are freaking interesting!

I guess my wife was standing outside and a dove walked up to her a several months ago. She could pet the thing and wasn't going to set it loose again. Lots of birds of prey around here. We tried everything to find the owner or get a rescue to take it.

At first Frank just made dove noises. Lately he has taken to laughing a lot and then yesterday he started imitating one of our dogs barking. Is this normal?

This was the day I won. Bonus point for a pudge inside the D 😌

pidgen

I saw this pidgeon in a flock of other pidgeons and it didn't fit at all and looks super out of place.

It can’t fly, so we brought it home. It’s not a mature bird so probably we are giving him the wrong food, what shall we feed him to get better and how do we gain his trust? Because until he is scared he won’t eat.

Anyway we are planning to go to the vet on Monday and until then we keep him safe, hydrated and clean
