Injured juvenile pigeon

Hi my name is Jonathan Stott.

I have had a baby pigeon in my garden for the last 6 months or so.

I fed him alll the right things and we got into quite a routine, where he would come at specific times and was very friendly, even sitting on my back door step waiting for me on a morning and evening. 

he would come at other times and call me as well which was funny, almost as if he just wanted company.

I got up this morning and opened the back door and he was there in a very distressed condition. 

he hopped onto the back step and just lied down and tucked his head into his chest, just looking at me and shaking his wing repeatedly.

i called the vet and they said to take him down to be assessed.

I waited and they eventually told me he had broken his right wing, left wing and had broken both legs and had damage to his skeletal structure and the kindness thing was for him to be euthanised.

I don’t know how this happened, but I’m very upset and feel like crying.
