Pigeon laying next to my garage may have flown into it.

Question

I walked outside this morning and there was a pigeon laying helplessly on the ground and I thought it was dead. Then it started moving it's head. It couldn't really flap it's wings, but when it tried to walk it would just fall over. Should I put it out of it's misery or should I let nature take it's course, after all it is still alive. I am really sad about this situation and have no idea what to do. I am a total animal lover and i feel just terrible. Please help!

Answer 1

you should help the peg ion and when it feels better then you could let him go

Answer 2

If it's been more than an hour or two you and the bird is still having problems you should look for a wildlife rehabber in your area QUICKLY.  If he has a concussion he can be treated.  But without treatment he can very well die.

Answer 3

call a vet and see what is best. it may have broken its wings and can't fly. since it is a big bird you won't have to worry about it losing its parents. call a vet or a wildlife rescue and see what you should do before you touch it

Answer 4

Let it be. If you start feeding it and helping it, it will never leave, and that's unnatural.
