Does a pigeons broken wing heal ?

[Easy 10]

I have a very docile pigeon in my shed tonight.
I think it has a broken wing. He flaps, but he falls. Its wrapped up in a towel, in a shoebox, with some seed and water. He's a lovely creature, quite happy to have his head stroked, no fear in him whatsoever. But I'm at a bit of a loss what to do with the fella.

Any suggestions most welcome.

I'd phone the RSPCA as soon as you can. They will treat the pigeon.

Similar thing happened to me with a baby seagull. I called the RSPCA who gave me the details of a local vet I could drop the bird off at. If my memory serves me correctly they gave me a code/reference number which the vets could use to get payment from the RSPCA. I also think the RSPCA phoned them in advance to forewarn them. Bottom line is the RSPCA arranged everything, all I did was drop the bird off.

The vets called me in the morning to tell me the seagull was simply suffering from exhaustion (quite common with baby seasgulls and hot weather apparently) and after some rest they dropped it off at a sanctuary who later released it.

The RSPCA will deal with it (most likely by putting it down ).

Not with a broken wing they wouldn't.

Call that Roger Musselle bloke

 

[emphyrian]

there is a chap in woodingdean who takes all injured birds and gets them back to full health. His name is Roger and he lives in Downs valley road.

Simple really.

If it's a ringed pigeon, then it will probably be put down as it will be no good for racing.

If it's not a ringed pigeon, then it will probably be put down as it is nothing more than a flying rat.

Either way, welcome to the pigeon afterlife. It won't be missed, let's be honest.

DON'T take it to the vet, i nursed one back to health and they just put it down!

Once in a lifetime chance to right a wrong: crap on its head

Call the RSPCA asap , your a kind chap. Good luck to you.

I broke a wing off a seagull once, rubbed it on my wart, and nothing happened. So I'd say a broken seagull's wing is particularly naff at healing.

3 hours and noone's done this...

Has anyone seen Wendy?

 

[Easy 10]

He spent the night in the shed, tucked up in a shoebox with some seed and water, and was taken to the vets in the morning. So he's probably in pigeon heaven now.

Coo.

Is it plump breasted, with speckly feathers?

You killed my Speckled Jim...
