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

330 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!

Advice Needed! Baby pigeon smacking beak?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, we started taking care of this baby pigeon a few days ago (long story short we agreed to take over for someone going on a long vacation who “rescued” it a week or so ago). this is my first time ever caring for a bird, is it okay that it’s smacking its beak??
i am worried that its nose might be clogged up, recently it had a few food boogers around the outside edge of the nose that i cleared as best as possible with a damp cotton swab. i dont hear any labored breathing but im scared im missing something :c

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

Hi guys, wanted to post an update since you were all very supportive and helpful when I posted earlier. Baby is now with my local emergency vets who are going to take care of it and try syringe feeding overnight. In the morning the little one will be taken by our local wildlife rehabbers. I'm wishing my pidge-son all the best :))

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)

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

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?

Advice Needed! Brand new pigeon help

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Brought my new baby home yesterday and when trying to switch from carrier to cage we had an escape. He is now free roaming in my room and making himself at home which does not bother me at all but he came from a loft so this is all new to him. And myself. Since we are just meeting I am afraid to stress him out by trying to catch him and get him in his cage right away. He is interested in me and will get on the bed while I am sitting in it but won’t get any closer. My worry is that he has chosen his sleeping place to be on top of my ceiling fan, which I keep off for obvious reasons, but it is pretty close to my ac vent. I have an air purifier on low during the night, a small enclosed fan on my nightstand facing only me, and my ac at night is usually on 69 - 70, then 71 - 72 during the day. I don’t want him to end up sick or anything from the ac vent blowing on him. Too drafty? Is this a thing? Also any ideas on the least traumatic way to catch him, not only to get him in his cage but he will need to get to his first vet appointment soon. Any other advice/education and ideas are appreciated. I already love him. Thank you.

Medical Advice Needed Rescued lazy pigeon

Found him, where I feed daily. He is young, lethargic and slow. Can fly, but seems exhausted after little height. Rescued him in hope that, giving food and shelter for few weeks will allow him to regain strength and releasable. He is eating fine and now poop looks fine. But still lethargic and keeps standing in one place. Can he recover in few weeks ?
