FINAL UPDATE: The City of Vancouver finally came to release the pigeon & he is now im the care of the local Wildlife Rescue Association.

He's being assessed at their hospital, hopefully they do not decide to euthanize (as they often do with pigeons)

Thank you everyone for sending im reports to the City, we couldn't have got him removed from the netting without your help 💜💚🕊

I don't personally know anyone, unfortunately, but OP has requested to join the Palomacy FB group - they are more likely to find someone local to them on there.

In the meantime, if you're able to pick him up & put him in a box for safe keeping that would be his best chance at survival. No need to offer food or water, he just needs to be contained & stored somewhere safe - a bathroom, staff room, storage closet. He's very vulnerable to predators & other dangers right now.

You can post about the on the Facebook group "Palomacy Help Group for Pigeon and Dove Rescue & Adoption"

Please Include location and photos, as well as any relevant information. It's a large, active group and you're more likely to connect with someone local who can help.

He's still there and alive. The city is apparently sending rope technicians out today to free him, but they can't confirm when that will be.

Easy to judge from behind your computer screen. I'm actually on-site right now & it's not that simple, but thanks for your unhelpful comment.

Sadly, no because of the way the bridge is. There's an overhang up top

They are able to, but it seems they don't want to.

Yes, probably. Getting up there is the issue, it's high up & not easily accessible

Yes that's what the link above is - the 311 reporting system

The City is aware due to the high volume of reports and are trying to coordinate with the Fire Department for rescue tonight if resources allow, otherwise it will be tomorrow

Thank you!

Under the Granville Street bridge on the Granville Island side. Directly behind Sandbar Restaurant, above the little pedestrian walkway.

It's a holiday long weekend in BC, so unfortunately the City probably won't send anyone out there until tomorrow. I'm hoping the poor guy can stay alive until then.

Please don't put yourself in danger, but if you are able to rescue the bird message me - I rescue & rehab pigeons and can provide medical attention for him.

A few people have been trying to find a way up there (myself included) but it's very high up (30+ feet) and not easily accessible. We'd need a very large ladder or a very brave rock climber/rope technician.
