Pigeon sent to wildlife center

Hi,
I’ve sent the pigeon to a wildlife center today. I hope he’s doing fine. Thanks!

That’s great! They will know how to help him. I know you enjoyed helping him, but there was only so much you could do. Pigeons can be good pets, and there are a lot of domesticated breeds of pigeons that you can buy. The wild variety like you found are not the same. The domesticated ones have been raised in clean aviaries around people and they aren’t scared of you and enjoy interacting with people.

Thanks for helping him!
