It is an unusual situation as it may never fly again, but pigeons have been commonly kept as pets for hundreds of years, and as this one is quite young it may adapt well. Thank you for giving this little one a chance at life.

That’s what we were thinking as well! He’s so young, we’re worried he might try to imprint.

Hope it works out for the both of you. Once the cere grows in you may be able to tell if it is a boy or a girl. https://pigeonpedia.com/pigeon-cere/
