Have to agree, would not let it near any of my birds, a sick youngster very rarely becomes a good racer.

could have low blood sugar levels from been flown out ? add some honey / glucose or sugar too some warm water

[Guest casbri]

if it was my bird id get rid of it..better safe than sorry

[billy wilson]

when they lie down rocking it seams to me that the liver has been infected if the liver enlarges thats what causes the rocking

[billy wilson]

forgot to tell you paul the bird will have terrible watery droppings maybe grey to white then will probably die.good luck

Definitely isolate it, it could be just fatigue, get some glucose into into it and some light feed, it may be something simple as that but it could be something sinister, if it was your own bird you would know more of the history of it to make a better decision :-/

Paratyphus /Salmonella .

it would go to the great wheelie bin in the sky if it was at mine!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest]

get rid of it a.s.a.p

[ALF]

Agree put it in the bin!

[johno]

bird could be dehydrated.

[DOVEScot]

If in doubt kill it seems to be the order of the day :(

[OLDYELLOW]

bird probably is dehydrated and such as drained its vital organs of energy causing a hypoglychemic shock to its system and its systems will go in to shut down , sugared water would improve the bird but i do feel its probably too late

thanks to everyone who has gave there valued opinion on this matter i've just spoken to to the owner of the pigeon & he told me that he has had 5 pigeons reported including this one all over the country  & they have all been shaking & rocking so he ask me to put it out of its misery

 

it turns out he has had to kill all his pigeons due to them doing the same thing i told him what has been said on here & he said thanks for the advice he took one of them to the vets & he was buffled what it could be

No one has a clue what is wrong with the bird but everyone says dispose of it?

 

Safe rather than sorry is a good tack to take but as you seem to have away to isolate it to prevent any damage to your own birds and the bird is not yours having ago might just teach you something for the future if you have to try and help one of your own birds. Getting it to drink plenty with glucose is a must but just as importantl keep it warm tonight if at all possible.The poor wee sowl obviously has nothing less to give and keeping it warm will definetly help. If it is actually interested in eating a little decent wheat would be my choice. Best of luck.

THEY WERE IN A RACE FROM NEWARK

hawk attack can do that to some youngsters but you say owner has others like it get rid of it????

i know this is a bit off thread but i had a silkie bant do this once (this time of year)...i thought it was maereks disease which silkies are particularly prone to. but next day she was fine...wandered over to the windfall plums and started eating...they were fermenting and she was drunk.back on topic, i'm not one for culling...except when birds are ill/injured.

[ChrisMaidment08]

nor am i but if owner has culled others its madness to keep it around other birds or evan in garden
