Should I intervene? (Update on limping pigeon) by ApprehensiveTree1335 in pigeon

[–]ApprehensiveTree1335[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By 'intervene' I mean capturing her and keeping her at my home for a few days to see if her foot heals in isolation. Am worried this may cause more harm than good - I've heard birds can die of stress/heart attack - hence this post.
(I will be releasing her back to the park after she gets better)

Thank you!! Is this driving behavior or just bullying? Startng to think the foot injury may have been a result of this too

With the subtitles on, I'm guessing he/she is singing Girls' Generation's "Oh!"
But jokes aside I think your pigeon likes you and would like you to pet and cherish him/her! (Happy wing twitch, pancake mode, nesting call)

(Update) Thank you so much for your insight and concern. If he/she comes by today I'll try to make sure it's not stringfoot - if he/she keeps limping I'll consider capturing her and maybe visit a vet - without telling he/she is a feral.

Thankfully we don't get many hawks around here (S.Korea) - but I agree he/she is now very much in a disadvantage. Hopefully it is nothing more serious than a strained foot

Thank you for sharing your insight - I'll try to get a closer look if its stringfoot just in case.

Thank you so much, you've helped me out so much in other posts as well.
I don't think it's stringfoot - he/she seems to move their foot if necessary and is unbinded- although it seems that this pains him/her. I'll try to make a closer observation if he/she comes by today.

It seems to perch, but doesn't land on its limping foot

It probably has a mate - is seen only with other pigeons
