Found this little chap wandering around the garden at 7.30 this morning unable to fly..
Stuck him in the cat box and gave him some food and water and after 7 hours of rest off he flew... one less meal for the local cats..  |

Aww! Well done griggers 
Looks like a juvenile to me. They're big birds and maybe he just hadn't found enough food locally to get his energy back? |

apparently 44% of sick juv wood pigeons admitted to wildlife rescue places are suffereing from metabolic bone disease. Difficult to detect (requires x-ray) no mention of a possible cure, very sad, the future is decidedly less bright for these ones. 
you can but try though  |
