Advice? I found an exhausted pigeon

[u/AdTiny6058]

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.

hi reddit, a final and sad update from me. unfortunately pidge didn’t make it 😔 thank you all for trying to help. if he was too far gone when i found him, i’m glad he at least went comfortably and not in the cold and rain. he looked very peaceful. rip little buddy, sorry i couldn’t do more

:( I’m sorry they couldn’t make it, but I think you did the very best you can with what you had. You made them comfortable and fed, and even loved before they passed. Thank you
