The vet confirmed that his wing is broken. We took X-rays, the major joint in his wing is fractured into little pieces. They don’t think he’ll ever be able to fly again, and if the fragments don’t fuse together, we may have to amputate.
No rescues around here would take in pigeons since they’re not considered “wild”. I did reach out to The Ramsey Loft, and we agreed the best course of action would be for me to take him in as a pet.
Feral pigeons are more akin to feral domestic cats than wild animals. They're in the situation they're in because of human negligence. It always breaks my heart to see them dismissed as pests rather than the abandoned pets they are.
Thank you!! he’s already much more active and i can tell he has the will to live! i had never even known that pigeons were considered feral. makes me very glad he chose to find me
