Only looks a young one and we have a pigeon nest in a tree above our garden, whats the best thing to do with it? :confused:

Call the RSPCA or call a vet - they'll know what to do - Try not to touch it, as if it's a young one your scent might put the parents off (should the bird still be reliant)

I assume you cant return it back to nest they will accept it back.If not depends if its fully feathered nearly ready for flight if thats the case try it in the tree see if it works its way back up parrents should help it out.If its much younger then you have no option take it into a vet or call RSPCA you,ll have to keep it in a box coverd till they can respond.Little bit of hard boiled cold egg yoke should keep it happy short term.do not over feed it though very little and dont force any water into it.

Contact the RSPCA; similar to the issue of birds trapped indoors, which I covered in a thread.

Are you still struggling with this, sod the rspca or the vets they just let them die.

The best person is the bird man at oldcoates he reabilitates them and then puts them back in teh wild :)

The RSPCA and vets do not just let them die they have a duty of care once a wild bird is brought in, I have taken lots of babies to the vet myself and if they are healthy they will continue rearing them for that short time until they are properly fledged and can fly properly, they are then released.

Is that a Bulldog in your avatar?

Try Pidgeon Rescue BTW

How did you get on?

xx

well duno about him but i had a abanded song thrush nest in garden i know for a fact my canarys will rear small birds but these was a bit large for them.And i didnt fancy another few weeks up n down, there was two dead two alive just.So got them warmed up fed , looked ok so dumped them in black birds nest on garden not sure what parents thought but seen them all today leaving hahahahaha.
And yes this can be done providing there near enough same age/size and have near enough same feeding habits ect.
PS and no RSPCA or Vets do not just let them die lisamidd they pass them onto rescue centres if there not able to look after them Although im not 100% in RSPCA favour how they work.
