Found A Bird?
I found a pigeon and it isn’t contained!
There are several ways to secure a pigeon, a good practice to follow to set out a cage/carrier for the pigeon to walk into.
Alternatively, if a bird is looking unwell/hurt and are not active, placing a towel/shirt and picking them up can be very effective. Gently throw it over the bird, bundle them up in it, and bring them to a safe place indoors.
Please keep the bird in a quiet and contained space indoors. For temporary containment, anything is fine: a carrier covered in a towel, an Amazon box, or an overturned laundry basket.
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A PIGEON NEEDING RESCUE OUTSIDE, AS THEY ARE AT RISK OF PREDATION!
