Help! Baby pigeon hurt it’s foot!

[degunuts]

Hey there. I’ve been exercising my baby pigeon for a couple days now, as he’s about 5.5 weeks old, so I’ve just been letting him take small little flight sessions off of my hand. I think he got a bit too excited and tried to fly onto the floor of the loft, which is wire, and hurt his foot. He can’t stand on it, and he doesn’t really curl it or anything. It’s not limp, but he doesn’t seem to have much control over his toes. Is there anything I can do? I don’t want him to not be able to walk because of a bit of exercise

For a bit of clarity, he can extend his full leg. He doesn’t want to, but he can. He cannot, as far as I know, extend the lower part of his leg. Could it be a tendon issue?

Sorry for not replying! I brought him inside and he made a full recovery. I think he might’ve just sprained it or something. I gave him plenty of food and water and a small makeshift nest to rest in, as well as a very, VERY small amount of ibuprofen if he was clearly in pain as well as b complex vitamins in his water.

Glad to hear he made a full recovery. A little TLC goes a long way with pigeons!
