I found a young pigeon on the way home from shopping today. It was just sitting on the ground in the rain making peeping noises. My dog sniffed it and it wasn't scared and it let me just pick it up, so I took it home. I originally thought it was a lost pet or something, but now I know that can't be true. It has no ring on it and it's got mites. It has poo on its feathers, and it must be young since it's beak looks undeveloped and it still has slightly bald patches where its feathers haven't quite grown. Do you know how old it is, and how I should care for it? I have a basic idea since I am an animal care student but I still need some advice. I'm attached to it now so don't want to let it go.
