Injured Pidgeon in our garden

[Jigsaw]

Odea, but what is so cute is that there is another one thats OK helping it out and getting it food etc.

We have to go and catch it now, well I ain't going near it.

Wish us luck.

That's happened to me once. The next day it was gone....

Both or my neighbours have cats so we often find 'bits' of birds around our garden :eusa_sick

[J0SH]

We had a robin lay eggs in our shed once so fair enough we let them hatch etc then when they were learning to fly one went straight into the window lol, but a few where found dead, one was under our bin and a hawk or something took the others

we found our cat attackin one once so we had to scare my cat away, then the pigeon had some bleeding underneath his wing but we didnt really touch it. So we just scared it into a cage and took it to the vet who took care of it or w/e

[Immenseman]

put it outs of its misery

I found one like that that couldn't fly, so I put it in a box with the lid half shut (protection from cats) and gave it seed/bread/water, it didn't fly out the first day and was just laying down, next day I woke up and checked and it had flown away. :)

Awww, bless. I love it how there's another one helping it out - kinda cute. :)

That reminds me of like, last week when we had a teeny baby bunny in our garden, and our cat brought the bunny in our house dangling from his mouth and put him in our washing basket as a little nest type thing.

This might seem cruel but im lol'ing so hard irl

It's actually illegal to catch a pigeon, nurse it, and release it. They are classed as vermin in the UK and the law states that if you capture one in any way it must be destroyed and not released.

That's well sad. How would you like it if I said that to you if you have a broken arm or something. That's completely unethical.

i had a race pigeon in my garden for about a week once. it just wouldnt fly away, and it wasnt injured or anything lol

That's silly. What's wrong with nursing it? It's not gonna suddenly turn dangerous.

Don't give in to the pidgeons charms, watch out! they are decievive little buggas. They pretend there hurt. Its all an act they convince you to feed them, then they simply fly off the next morning.....

[leah]

lmao bless, a ren flew in through my window once and we couldn't find where it went. :(

[Georgie-Best]

Should have put it out of its misery

It's because they carry diseases which are dangerous.

A lot of animals carry diseases, what a pointless law.

Indeed, rabbits can't be caught because anything it's carrying (infection wise) can spread to other animals e.g. cats, other rabbits and dogs. There are some weird laws out there. ALso, never phone the RSPCA or the bird equivilent if you find a bird of prey, they destroy them, not save them. Fact ;)

[Crimson]

Shooooot it!

[Lee]

Shooooot it!
I'm sorry, but that wasn't nessercary.

Cool if its got a friend helping it out :)

[Jigsaw]

I am happy to say that the other bird helping it was seen flying along with the other bird, we couldn't catch it as the vet reccomended so we left bird seed etc. in the corner of the garden where they were.

Happy ending eh.

They probably have rabies
