I rescued a pigeon

[Carloscarloscarlos]

Hi I saved a racing pigeon from a coopers hawk a week ago. Shes not wanted by the owner anymore so he let me keep her. Iv built a loft and a 10x10 run for her to fly in. I have arranged to get a few more birds this weekend.
This is the first bird iv had , and I love her. She was super stressed up the first day. But seems calm down now.
Just looking for any exper tips and advice.

Welcome to BYC. So lovely to be able to rescue her. I don’t know anything about pigeons, but am tagging @CCsGarden who has rescued doves and maybe they are similar.

Welcome to BYC! Yes, I can help you with your pigeon! Did she have any injuries from the hawk? Keep her calm, fed and hydrated. How many other pigeons do you plan on getting?
