Dove gets stuck in chicken run

[Merylyn]

Pigeons and crows usually go into my chicken run to eat the chicken feed however i was walking to go close the coop door at night and a pigeon starts going crazy trying to get out so i go back out and wait, but its just not getting out so i finally go in and its on the floor and it does not fly away not even when i touch it or pat its head and not even when i pick it up. After seeing if it was hurt or not i let the pigeon/ dove go fly but it doesnt fly so i kinda throw it ( not harshly) and it ends of flying away this was a precious moment for me but what is the reason for this wild bird to be so tame?

Hmm. Maybe there is someone who spent time with it? Do you have neighbors it could be visiting?

May have just been stunned or something. Quite a few years ago I found a parakeet sitting on the roost next to one of my roosters. He stayed for 2 days then disappeared. He just sat there only a few inches away from him. He jumped down to eat right alongside the rooster. Strangest thing ever.

That is cool! I hope it is okay. I bet whoever owned the parakeet was worried. You are right. Might have been stunned.

That was probably a tamed parakeet ( domestic) it probably ended up dying. But yeh i guess the pigeon was too afraid to move

I’m sure it was a tame parakeet since it didn’t seem too alarmed with me feeding him. Whether it died or not I have no idea.
