Hi. I’m in Peterborough. We’ve rescued a baby wood pigeon from our cat who was playing with it! It has a small red spot on its back but otherwise appears uninjured. There are several tall trees at the back of our garden and we presume it fell from a nest in one of them (our cat had had another baby a little earlier, who we found too late). There are two pairs of wood pigeons who are always around in our garden but we haven’t seen any of them since finding the baby. We’ve made a temporary nest for it in a small box and hung it in a tree - we don’t know where the actual nest is and susoect it’s too high for us to reach anyway - but we’re not very hopeful that the parent will find it. We’ve no idea what else to do and are afraid it will die. Any advice or help very welcome.
