Hello. I'm in the UK and rescued this bird from a boy hitting it with a stick. Can someone please tell me what type of bird it is? I thought pigeon but it's markings are not like a wood or city pigeon. It's like a stock dove but doesn't have the shiny green patch on neck. It's acting very tame too... Although still scared of us it is pretty calm when we are close and will sit on our hands. I don't know what is wrong with it as it won't fly but it's wings seem to move fine. It's throat is clear (no cankers) and it's legs look clean of scabs and over all good condition. It's calm nature makes me think it is from someone's collection rather than wild?? Or maybe it's in shock?? I haven't seen it eat or drink although I dipped it's beak in water. I've had it about 24hrs now. I had it on a heat blanket overnight.
