[katpig]

Hi hope all r well. Im sorry this isnt about chickens i have an injured adult pigeon in a box upstairs. His wings r fine, he hasnt been attacked, at least not by a predator with claws(or teeth really) his bodys ok but he's not moved either leg and has no response reflex in legs or talons. Cld this b from shock? A friend said he's mayb still in shock but it's been just over 24hrs now. Iv called vet but they said theyd destroy if didnt think he cld make it. Any help anyone plz? Do they lose function of legs n will he get them back? Thanku :'-(

Hi there, and welcome to the group! It's kind of you to try to help the pigeon. And actually, if you click on the "forums" button at the top, you can see that there are other "rooms", and one of them is named "Other Backyard Poultry" and in there, there is a button for "Pigeons and doves". So you see, there IS a place to get help for your pigeon. That is where you should post your question.
I'm not an expert, but it may have been hit by a car or flown into a window. Offer it a low bowl of water, maybe a jar lid. I will try tagging someone to hep you. @backyard pigeons
It doesn't sound good for the bird, but keep it quiet for now - all you can do is see if it recovers.
