I just "rescued" a pigeon. I was walking along western and the same pigeon that I saw yesterday was still huddling against a door.
I'm pretty sure it's a young pigeon that fell out of his nest and can't fly yet. He doesn't have all his feathers, and his tail feathers are very short.
However, it might just be a sick pigeon so I'm waiting to see how he looks in a couple of days before bringing him inside. It's warm enough right now outside that he should be able to stay there at least for the time being.
I put him in my front yard, in a box, more protected than he was on the main street, and gave him some water and bread. If I see that he doesn't drink any water I'll have to get an eye drop to give him some. But he seems pretty healthy though, just confused.
He didn't protest much when I picked him up, and while scared, when I left he sat down in the box without complaining.

So that was my evening break after working on a History paper for the past 4 hours.
