1 month old Pigeon cant walk

Yes,he can eat seeds fine.

If he does then you don't need to feed frozen peas at all. Try to get a pigeon mix with a variety of seeds including Maple peas or field peas, wheat safflower, millet, corn(un popped), etc...

For treats - unsalted peanuts are a favorite of most pigeons once they get a taste'

If you are determined to keep him could you fashion a small wheeled platform like a skateboard so he could push himself with less effort? Maybe from a toy car base... Just a wild idea. Sometimes they do recover from neurological issues., so I wouldn't give up yet.

Get some calcium in them ASAP. Take the powdered calcium, mix with water to a liquid & squirt some with a syringe or eye dropper in their beak twice a day, about a teaspoon worth. (Don't let it get in their airway.) Dust more calcium powder on their seeds. If it's calcium deficiency, which it sounds like, they could completely recover in about a week. In the future give them some hi-cal grit on a regular basis.

Good advice, can't hurt.
