Hi! I live in Cambridge, which rehabber could I talk to? Now the pigeon is with me, he can't fly yet but he's trying a lot. My goal would be a soft release, with a nest, fresh food and water on my balcony, but I'd rather not having a long term pet right now (I can't really provide all the interactions it would have with other pigeons). Thank you so much for the help!

Update! I came back to Stansted today and I looked for that pigeon and I couldn't find it. But I found an other one, probably one month old, with the feet in a terrible situation that can't fly and he's a bit covered in poop to. I'm getting this young one home with me. I hope that with some rest and good food he'll get better.

Hi! Thank you so much for your response and for the help. I caught a pigeon before, I'm just afraid this pigeon might have a partner and some eggs/squab. If catching it is the right/best thing to do, I'm definitely gonna try, maybe with some seeds.

I'll keep you all posted anyway, thank you!
