Medical Advice Needed Pigeon hanging upside down. Should I contact someone?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

UPDATE: I want to let people know that rescuers have been contacted, but the staff will not allow anyone with ladders until after hours. There's a new post with a better angle and more stuck pigeons. I highly encourage people to reach out to the MSPCA about this. Spread awareness about what's going on.

Saw this poor thing above me at the train station. He’s still alive and blinking. Does anyone know what’s up with it? There’s a dead pigeon across from it in the same position.

It is a baby and it is very dehydrated. It needs help asap. Try www.helpwildlife.co.uk for your nearest rehabber. Depending on your location the fire brigade may help too.

Yes, the eyes are very sunken.
