last time somebody asked about an injured pigeon several of us responded along the lines of "find a Rabbit and make a nice pie" but this wasnt well recieved so I thought I would keep my sense of humour in check this time

however EH is dead right about disposing of the carcase -- double bag it in poly bags and stick it in your wheelie bin - and make sure you wash your hands afterwards not only due to poison but also down to disease - even healthy pigeons can carry up to 32 diseases that are comunicable to humans.
