Well done

yup looking more rodent than exploding or the sharp plastic drinker

yikes poor thing

At least didn't spontaneously combust !!!!

Could of had a cyst or something similar as these can explode , but never heard of a pigeon exploding , rodent perhaps or did it catch itself on something in the loft or just rip as stood very strange indeed nearly to the point of been unbelievable , had a hen once that had a prolapse womb and insides came out , but no rip .....
