I have a pigeon.
10 years ago
So... I kidnapped a poor not-quite-a-squab-anymore pige that was haplessly waddling and being blown around Cardiff yesterday.
It's around the 25- 27 day mark, can feed itself(now it actually tries to eat actual food rather than cigarette butts and inedible detritus)but can't quite drink or fly or acknowledge and move out of the way of people, risking getting stepped on or crushed by a car.
Attempted to just move it off the busy main street but it got attacked by magpies right in front of us, bah! So, reluctantly, we ended up taking it home. ;v;
Got it warm and fed (peas, sweetcorn, oats, apple and garlic mix).Mouth is free of growths. It's posture is still quite hunched and it's perpetually ruffled up when immobile but it's definitely much more lively when let to wander a little.
Hoping to release it nearby once it properly fledges, since our situation isn't exactly adequate to keep it.

I love pigeons, and I'd love to look after one. Still researching how best to do it.
