just took my dog out for walk got half way round saw a cat leg it and got to where the cat legged it and a woodpigeon was just lying in the middle of the road.my mind was all over place didn`t know what to do.it was injured couldn`t fly so i just got my dog to move it to the side of the road, and then came in was going to ask you guys what should i do but forgot my p word and so used google and so i got a bag and some gloves went back and he wasn`t there.

If only i knew bout these things and was quicker.

No worries Carl. At least you moved it and it probably is tucked away recovering somewhere. Some folk wouldn't even bother to do that, so well done to you for caring enough to give it a chance.

thnx mate.Whn i left the house with my bag and gloves(just incase it got any disease or anything) i told my bro that a cat had th pigeon etcand he said "and it`s apigeon that spread lung diseases" i still carried on.Im mean it may carry lung diseases but i ain`t heard of any one being killid by that and plus it`s still a living thing.you`ll have to thank my dog aswell. cause if my dog didn`t help move it or want to go for walk it would`ve got splattered by this red car,it went passed when i was moving it.I hope the cat didn`t come backfor it.do cats eat pigeons? or do they just kill them for fun?

Well done for moving the bird

It's feral pigeons that carry the diseases, not Wood Pigeon

I dont know about killing for fun, but it's instinct, cats do what cats do. The wood pigeon probably went into undergrowth and played dead for a while until the shock wore off. If the cat came back, well, thats nature for you, and nature is brutal and cruel as well as being beautiful.
