There is something wrong with this pigeon2007-11-24 17:16:53

Well, the day before yesterday I saw a pigeon that had poop on it and it seemed very dirty. There was mucus all over its eyes and beak. Its beak cant close and its head cant reach down to eat or drink. Yesterday my teachers said that it got better. It looked very sick. They called the animal control/humane society and they never came to pick up the pigeon. Today, I caught the pigeon with a box so it can be taken care of. What do you think is wrong with the pigeon?

PS: Do u think it couldve been rabies? But I dont think that it is rabies because its wings flapped on my hand 3 times and i washed it about 10 times each time, and i never got sick. Well again, it may be cause i washed my hands.

well pigeon poop is VERY dangerous. Even though it comes from them maybe it can harm them if it gets on them.

I think it's kind hearted of you to take it under "your wing" so to speak..If the pigeon is still sick acting you may want to give it food and water and a place to stay.and some prayer and then release it ..knowing that you did everything you could..You could take it to a vet..but that could be costly to you.Mother nature has a way of healing and taking care of it's own..and even little creatures.have guardians that look after them..,but if the pigeon continues to be sick..please don't put your self at risk of infection..wear gloves when handling it..and wash your hands very well..at all times..But all in all..it may be better to realease it back into mother nature..Like us, animals get sick.and they too..have a time to live..and a time to die..
