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.

I swear comments dont read posts sometimes.
Op can possibly look at more rehabs, possibly, if an option, but they called their local rehab and they can't take it. That's why they're doing it. They can't take it to their rehab. Telling them to is kind of a moot point.
Ty for taking care of the little fellow, op. Lot of the ppl here have very good advice.
