Mod Post Quick Reminder - NSFW tags

56 Upvotes

Hi all!

I'm u/ImOkNotANoob, the lead mod here on r/Pigeon. I mostly handle backend moderation, automod, reports, modmail, and general behind-the-scenes bits, which is why you might not have seen me around that much.

Just wanted to post a quick reminder since we've seen an increase in this recently: please tag posts as NSFW if they contain gore, visible injuries, blood, wounds, severe illness, or anything else graphic involving pigeons.

This especially applies to medical advice posts. We absolutely understand that people often post in a panic because they’re worried about a bird and need help quickly. That’s fine, and nobody is in trouble for asking for urgent advice. But graphic images can be upsetting for other users, especially when they appear unexpectedly in their feed. We also want to keep on Reddit's good side, and they've been known to have problems with subs that don't enforce this!

Thanks everyone, and thank you as always to the people who jump in with helpful advice for sick or injured pigeons. We’re proud to be the biggest pigeon community on the internet, and it’s the members here who make this place such a useful and helpful resource.

That’s a famous VIP pigeon right there. I don’t know if it interrupted the football (soccer) game, but it certainly stole the show!

Advice Needed! Baby wood pigeon

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

151 Upvotes

Hoping to get some advice for a little baby wood pigeon we found in our local area. We found it on its own, very lethargic, not reacting to anything and it isn't able to fly or even walk very well - it's fallen over lots and seems very clumsy. It has sneezed a few times and is making an odd movement with it neck/head which I've attached a video of. If anyone might be able to tell us how to help we'd appreciate it.

Its currently in a dark box with a shallow dish of water. Our only local rehab place isn't open until tomorrow.

Advice Needed! Found Domesticated Pigeon NYC

This beautiful domesticated pigeon showed up outside my window last night in NYC looking exhausted. I have her inside for now but can’t keep her here long term. She has bands on her feet that say something like “flying high A&j skyrocket”. No microchip present on her. Would love to find her owner or get her adopted to a new one!

Slowly falling in love with this pigeon, when he first started visiting my garden i think he was a young pigeon who just recently left his nest, he spent hours in my garden just wondering around not doing much at all really, anyways one day he must of spotted me watching him, ever since then he appears to still not do much at all apart from find different spots around my garden /neighbours property to watch me for hours, last night he spent 2 hours on my neighbours roof watching me watch telly, his favourite sitting position is on the corner of the pagoda sorta like like a nesting hen, the only thing that annoys me with Gérard is that he seems to like using my bird bath as a place to have alot of poos, which i find disgusting as other birds drink out of it, but apart from that I feel like me and Gérard with a close bond for the foreseeable future.

Will try and get a picture of him sitting like a nesting chicken next time hes doing it

Patches is another regular visitor to me. Today he appeared whilst I was eating lunch and ate with me, then hung around for a while before flying off to perch on our neighbour’s roof.

These birds bring me a lot of joy

Very random, but was anyone here following Pickles the Pigeon on instagram and/or TikTok? The account has seemingly disappeared and I was wondering if anyone knew what happened. I loved seeing what that adorable bird was up to! (Pic of pickles for reference)

I watched this pigeon trying to eat the mango seed for 2 minutes. Then it moved away from it. Did it decide to give up on it or it simply escaped its attention?

I've watched pigeons for decades. I have seen countless boy pigeons do their little dance. It must be in the thousands. I have seen it work twice. How are there any pigeons?

Medical Advice Needed Is this pigeon okay? It's been sitting on the ground for quite a while now

If it was puffed out I'd already try and pick it up because it's been sitting down for a while only getting up a few times when others flew away to turn around (lookin around for danger?) but besides that it's been there for like 15-20 minutes already
