| | | Rescued pigeon
Hi everyone, for the last two days theres been a woodpigeon trapped between mine and the neighbours fence. Ive just managed to fish it out with a makeshift net - its limping but its wings seem ok, thing is it wont go anywhere. Ive brought it in and left it with some food and water. Any suggestions? Does anybody rescue pigeons?? Is it just in shock? |

Ok thanks, ive emailed the nearest rescue place, there doesnt seem to be one nearby. Not sure ive done the right thing bringing it in but it was a sitting duck for a cat as it was |

Well your doing the best you can in the circumstances, looking after birds is tricky at the best of times, doing so in this case makes life harder. Keep going, it'll work out one way or another. To be honest nature can appear cruel and cold hearted at times  .
I hope things work out for the best.
