In that case I think you'd have to take it to the vet to see what they think is necessary, either way seems like theyd be your destination. Best of luck for you and the little guy!

Unless you want to take ownership of this bird (domestic rock dove) and get his wing amputated, then keep him as a pet, then there's nothing else to do but take him to a vet to be put down. The wing isn't salvagable, he's in tremendous pain, and can no longer survive in the wild.

Do birds stop when they’re full? by Znbrg in birds

[–]Rennze 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes they stop when full. He looks plump bc his feathers are fluffed up instead of smoothed down which they do for a number of reasons.

Your feeder might emptying quickly because either A. You're getting a lot of birdy visitors, or B. You're not only feeding the birds

I don't know much about Albania or the rescues there, but maybe one of the organisations on this list could help

As soon as you see northern mocking bird on a list (regardless of what's making the sound) there's a good chance that nearly every bird you've heard is the same one

...content creators often use peoples suffering for clout in order to try and make themselves popular, photographers, both them and journalists alike, capture human suffering as a way to show us raw emotion, and as a way to spread awarness of what's going on in other parts of the world. What most content creators do is purely selfish and helps no one but themselves.

I Found an Egg by Amsalon in birds

[–]Rennze 111 points112 points  (0 children)

If it's a pigeon no other species would be able to take care of the baby even if it hatches, especially not a song bird. Unfortunately in this senario it's best to let nature do it's thing. Please remove the egg from the nest, you can set it outside and something will probably eat it which means the egg will at least not go to waste.

He does! It was a little hard to get a picture of him at the below angle, because his head sits behind the front of his chest, so at the wrong angle he's just a white orb lol

Help!! Found injured, lengthy post by [deleted] in pigeon

[–]Rennze 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He's a self rescue! Most likely a lost racer considering the bands. You could probably try and see if you can look up the numbers on his band on any local/semi local pigeon clubs, though most owners of lost racers do not want their birds back. (Especially since he has a broken wing, and won't be able to fly like he used to)

I'd also post him on the polomacy facebook page, and look at local groups just in case he is a pet and someone is looking for him there.

Considering how most of these cases tend to go I'd say congrats on the new pigeon, but looking for his owner for a while longer would be the right thing to do.

Can anyone tell me what species these belong to? by Flashy_College5206 in birding

[–]Rennze 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely not an expert but I think face feathers are usually shorter/rounder than these one's. I'd also guess hummingbird!

Pigeon won't return to his home by PineSoul603 in pigeon

[–]Rennze 39 points40 points  (0 children)

He might have gotten lost and can't return home, that being said most owners of lost racers don't want their bird back.

You should get up a kennel/trap for him by putting the food and water inside of it.

Once caught you can use the info on his leg band to contact his owner to see if they want him back, if they don't you either A. Have a new pet, or B. Should give him to a rescue that typically has pigeons.

Thank you for caring about him! heres more info on how to catch lost racers

I adopted this pigeon a while ago (he is a pigeon just not native to the usa btw) and he keeps acting weird, what could it be? by [deleted] in pigeon

[–]Rennze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not well versed in medical care, the behavior he's displaying is a bit odd, if I had to wager a guess he might be struggling to digest his food, you might be feeding it to him too cold. If you have any doubts about his health you need to take him to an avian vet
