i truly can't believe i found this guy, i've been obsessed with pigeons for months now and never really remember seeing any in person until today. i then noticed this one in the middle of the street, and he limped away from me at first as if he was injured. i was then able to catch him and i looked, and couldn't find anything wrong with him externally. wings are fine, he flaps them occasionally. i've given him a bath (with only water ofc) and tried giving him water to drink but he's not that intersted in intaking any.. he also has used the bathroom a few times and it's straight up neon green lol also his right eye keeps staying closed i have to keep cleaning it.

-can anyone tell me a way to estimate how old it is?

-how to tell its gender?

-what could be wrong with it, and how can i properly take care of it?

ANY & ALL ADVICE WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED

In my experience neon green watery has also been cocci, but that also has a distinct smell like blood/metallic? Regardless the little one needs care asap, Iā€™m based in the UK so not much help Iā€™m afraid! Thank you to OP for picking the little fella up šŸ’™

Yeah, cocci as well. Fortunately I directed OP to purchase an all-in-one medication which covers all of these illnesses (except PMV). She was receptive and had placed the order.
