There has been a lone pigeon in my garden for thw past 3 days, he's brown white a white tail and white chest. He does move around but has spent days just sitting on the wall and not going anywhere, he is also sleeping on some.brixks close to patio level and I worry for his safety
Hi Shan, does it have any rings like racing pigeons have, can you get a picture? Just put some water & seed out if you have any but don't handle the bird at all in case it's unwell ... if still there in morning then use this website to find help in your area ...

Hi Wendy, there are no rings. I have given some.water and seeds and its taken.both but still.in the garden and even in the rain it hasn't moved
Use the directory in the morning to get some expert help!
Handsome bird, lovely colour, just keep an eye on it and offer more seed & water, try to get in touch with a wildlife centre for more advice!
That's a fancy pigeon and highly unlikely to survive in the wild. As Wendy suggested, look up a pigeon friendly rescue on the www.helpwildlife.co.uk website. Whereabouts are you located?

Is the pigeon still around ... Have you had any luck in getting help yet Shan?
No luck so far, there is no one on the directory local to use, I am trying to see if there are any other organisations
Have been trawling the net and found this, worth a try ...
