Pigeon Rescue!

This pigeon needs a new home! I rescued this angel yesterday and took him to the hospital today. Please see his story...

And watch 'til the end to learn his new name!!

Pigeons are absolutely amazing creatures! Did you know, they do *not* poop when flying, so no need to be afraid of them pooping on you when they fly over head. Even cooler, they have served valiantly in many wars, often saving many lives when no other form of communication was possible (planes being shot down, radio signals out, etc). They were used as messenger birds. Amazing! They also mate for life and are very loving, affectionate babes.

This guy says exactly what I have found out "Pigeons teach you a lot about life !" They are amazing birds 👍🕊

Such a cute bird. If he were around here, I would adopt him.

Awwww, I would've adopted him! I always feed the wild pigeons at home :, )

Had a pigeon once that got a hair wrapped around her tongue. Managed to get the hair off without causing any injury, but it was pretty disturbing to see how easily something as insignificant as a strand of hair can cause such great harm.

I saved a male one couple months ago. I called him Havana. We live together ❤️

WBF volunteer here. They do such wonderful work with pigeons. So glad that this bird made it there.

A beautiful bird. I adopted a pigeon that could not fly and had it for a year until it just died recently. An amazing and wonderful experience.

Thank you! So much love. I would for sure have taken him if I were still living in NY. Thanks for your love. Spread the love of these totally brilliant and hugely lovable birds.!!

Rescued an injured pigeon in September. Both feet were injured, one with a ball of string and the other curled inward. Glad to say he is in fine fettle. He visits our home everyday and we sure look forward to his visits.

It looks very calm during the inspection at the vet.

This rings so true to what I've experienced with my rescues. They really do teach you a lot about life and they do grow to be very comfortable with you. My little old man was immediately very comfortable and chill be handled.

I LOVE pigeons and doves, thanks for saving him! I always feed pigeons, they are my favorite 💗

So cool! Vets are wizards. They can diagnose problems in so many different species without all those fancy exams, tests and their inability to speak. Hats off to all vets and to all those who care about the life forms of this planet.

Me and my wife have saved several wild pigeons, who always seem to arrive on our doorstep ( well, back yard actually ) whenever they are injured.
We haven't got the knowledge to fix their wings, nor is there any charity within a reasonable distance, but the last two eventually flew again after weeks of living in a safe zone at the back of our house.
The pure black one still comes back sometimes and stays the night in windy weather and always for food.

This was so good. You looked after Derek so well! We found a pigeon too, and this really helped. Well done!
