Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2004OT:Woodpigeon
On Friday I picked up an injured woodpigeon, I think it must have been hit by a car. I took it home to give time to rest and maybe recover. Saturday morning it still couldn't walk or fly so I took it to the vet, thinking if it can't get better it would be kinder to have it PTS, the vet said it may still get better if I could keep it a few more days so I took it home and put it in the summer house with food and water. Today it's looking a lot better and is able to stand, I think he'll be well enough to be released tomorrow.

Good luck with the pidge, I hope it makes a good recovery. Bless you Adrian. Jeanette That's great! Poor thing. Does it seem like it will be able to fly?

SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. Adrian, is a wood pigeon like a regular pigeon? I guess I've never seen one. The pigeons around here they say are really mountain doves. I like them. Lots of people don't. Sherry > Adrian, is a wood pigeon like a regular pigeon? > I guess I've never seen one.

I was going to release him today, I opened the doors of the summer house but he just stayed on his perch, maybe he is still tired. I will try him again tomorrow.

Third time they stayed. Good for you to help this little guy! Christine > > That's great! Poor thing.

The woodpigeon went free this morning, I opened the doors to the summer house, he thought for a while then flew strongly straight to the top of the ash tree in my garden.

Great news - though Sammy is kind of leary pigeons - one landed next to her on the patio one day and Sammy ran into the apartment SignatureSteve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky stouchst@JUNKsirinet.net [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html >On Friday I picked up an injured woodpigeon, I think it must have been >hit by a car.
