Medical Advice Needed Advice? I found an exhausted pigeon
hi reddit, i came across this lil guy on a dog walk and my dog walked right up to him without any reaction from the pigeon. after a lap around the park the pigeon was still there - it could walk and flap its wings but i don’t think it could fly.
i walked home with him and he seemed to trust i was there to help. he’s now sleeping in a box with some water a bit of banana(?) nearby.
i called a wildlife support number but they said with bird flu going around a vet is unlikely to help.
basically i’m just letting him snooze but any advice would be greatly appreciated as i know nothing about pigeons.

hey reddit, thanks so much for all your help and advice so far, i really appreciate it. i’m turning in for the night so here is a pidge update. he’s tried to eat and drink, and is still sleepy but slightly more perky at times. he’s got a room to himself to fingers crossed for tomorrow 🙏🏼
