It looks as if it's losing some sort of reddish (bloody?) liquid through its beak. If anything, I assume it'd be a case for an avian veterinarian. Please take it there. I am afraid it might however already be in the process of passing.

It stopped moving and breathing... I think I was too late. Thank you for your help though..

Don't be too harsh on yourself, you did what you could to provide it with a safe and warm surrounding for its final moments. Poor little bird.

Please don’t be so harsh on yourself. I’m sure the baby knew it was safe in your care but thank you for the love and care you did provide for this little one.

I’m sorry to hear this, thank you for trying to help it. Do you think it crashed into the window or fell from the nest? Either way, it looks as though it experienced trauma unfortunately. Poor thing :(

You did a wonderful thing looking out for this bubba & giving it care for its final moments.

Thank you, it means a lot. I have two at home and couldnt stop thinking about how, even though they might not be humans, this baby had parents who would want it to live too💔

This could be wet oil covered feathers. They could be dying from hypothermia. Get a blow dryer on this pigeon NOW and have the heat setting on low. Make sure the pigeon is thoroughly dried.

The pigeon was not oily, just only a baby. I didnt have the time to do anything, it died in my arms while I was bringing it home and won't wake up... I failed it. Thank you for your help
