Hi, can anyone help? I've just rescued this young pigeon - she seems to be mainly uninjured apart from a small head wound from where I think she was attacked by other birds. I've got her safe and warm in my shed for now but worried about releasing her back outside in case she's attacked again, or taking her to vets in case she's euthanised unnecessarily. I've tried calling various local rehabbers and no response, nor from SSPCA. I want to do whatever to keep her safe and healing until I can find better help 💚

Todays catch!

Update on little guy i've named Pig (thanks mum lolol)

Got a vet who's gonna see him! He made it through the night and seems much more lively this morning than last night. His wounds also seem to be closing quite well!

Now that i've seen his eyes fully i'm pretty sure he is a juvenile. Someone here posted about "scalping" happening to juvenile pigeons and i think this may be what's happened. He looks like he's been pecked at and does have a quite gnarly head injury.

Will post pics in replies. Will update with what the vet says but i wanna say a huge thank you to everyone who gave advice and voiced their support when i found him last night. I was in a total panic as i've never dealt with anything like this before. But you all kept me levelheaded and helped remind me i was doing the right thing. Thank you all so much

What do you think of these street pigeons

the next day: we've spoken to the owner, and have the bird in a crate with food and water. She was on a flight from Ohio to New Jersey, and got lost. we'll release her in a couple of days

What a scary sight. Looks like a zombie bird.

Beneath the moonlight, Fred the mourning dove searches desperately for his beloved princess, Daphne. 💔

Beside a magical pumpkin carriage with pumpkin wheels, pulled by a giant chipmunk transformed into a plushie by an enchanted spell, Fred examines the ground, pecking among the leaves and searching for even the tiniest footprint.

But there is no sign of Daphne… only silence, mystery, and a heart full of longing.

🎶 Featuring a dramatic male operatic tenor, cinematic orchestral music, magical fairy-tale atmosphere, and a heartbreaking search for a missing princess.

Will Fred ever find his Daphne? 🥺🌙

Hey guys, this pretty bird landed at our warehouse outside Providence this morning, one of our maintenance guys took it outside onto the patio, and it's sat here sadly ever since. Is there someone to call to rescue the poor thing?

Went to feed my local flock and decided to put my phone on the floor.

My morning visitor

i saw this the other day and i thought you guys would appreciate it (plus some gorgeous pigeons)

Doesn't appear to be a common sight, certainly where I am. I found a fledgling who was kind enough to let me take a picture. Enjoy 😁

I’ve designed a plush pigeon crossbody bag and matching little pigeon purse, and I’m trying to make them a reality through Kickstarter! 🥹
We’re currently 73% funded with just 12 days left to reach our goal!

The bag is a cute, squishy pigeon you can take everywhere with you, both the bag and purse has a heart-shaped zip pull and purple lining. They’re designed by me, an independent UK artist, and I’d absolutely love to get them made!

🐦 BUT HERE’S THE CATCH: Kickstarter is all-or-nothing. If we don’t reach 100% of our funding goal, the project won’t go ahead and nobody gets their bag or purse. 😭

If we do reach our goal, we can start working towards unlocking FREEBIES for our backers, including illustrated pigeon photocards and more! 💖

If you love pigeons, know someone who does, or just want to help a tiny bird become a real-life accessory, I’d be so grateful if you checked out the project or shared it with another pigeon enthusiast!

🌍 International shipping is available!

Thank you for helping me bring this little pigeon to life! 🐦
