Hi all,
Sad to say a young pigeon was attacked by the local menacing cat,
He's just come to my patio and coughed up blood and collapsed and closed his eyes. I have him in a basket and put him in a warm area. He is warm to the touch and his eye has now half opened. As I am anxious I cannot tell if his chest is rising but is he likely to have died now? His neck is limp forward and I see no movement.
I'm sorry you had to witness that. I think you've done all you could. Birds can easily go into shock - introducing a source of warmth can help as per this injured bird advice from the Wildlife Trust, but as you say, it may well be beyond that already.
