helpsickpidge Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hi, I know nothing about pigeons, however today a pigeon landed outside our window sill and has been there for about 4 hours now. at first we thought it was cute but then i noticed runny green either vomit or poo, looked it up and apparently that indicates pidge is not feeling well. anyway, i put a small bowl of water and a small piece of sesame bread out to him. i would like to know if anyone has any other advice, i'd really like to be able to help this sick pigeon. another thing, the pigeon is some type of homing pigeon or something because he has little bands around his legs, one is green and white, the other is red and says '2008'. thanks for your help!
Henrik Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hi Thanx for trying to help this bird. Water will do him good as will some Broth Mix or Lentils or any wild bird seed you may have as he may not eat the bread. Try and catch him and pop him in a box and post the ring number from the red ring .
helpsickpidge Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 He has been there almost 12 hours now, not really moving around but he seems to be sleeping, since he has his one leg up. i think he may have touched the water but i can't tell for sure. if in the morning he is still there, i was going to search for some number to call. I'm in Boston, MA in the United States. where would i post the ring number? honestly, i know nothing about pigeon rescuing so any other specific advice is welcome.
pjc Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Linda, MrsB will be your best bet for help on this one as she is in the USA, most members on here are in the UK. Has anybody got Linda's contact details or is there anybody else on in the USA? Phil
