No. here is no puncture cut or anything around the leg. I haven't felt a break either. would a tendon possibly break?

Is the sore let the same side as the wound? If so, I would suspect that the wound is the source of the pain.

Sorry that happened but I'm happy you were able to get the bird back.

I would do what the others said for the wounds, they don't look too terrible. I'm sorry I don't have any suggestions for the leg. Does the bird seem sore anywhere on its body (abdomen, near the pelvis) or does it just hurt for it to stand on the leg.

I don't knkw. It's wings are slightly drooped. It doesn't seem infant disco.fort when I handle it.

yes it is. Do you think the leg will improve with the sore, or no?

Well I am outside the broader demographic of the chicken forum as soneone that advocates for poultry and other farm animals as companion animals foremost. I think we should keep them safe from harm as we would other pets like dogs. Flying pigeons is a gray area for me. Much like letting cats outdoors. They enjoy the freedom I'm sure but it puts them into danger that could be totally avoided and they don't live as long as they could so I would not do it. But i dont think its bad you do at all.


I don't agree with everyone on the forum on everything but I think everyone can do what they think is best for the animals in their care. I like this forum because there is very little conflict and we can still share common interests.

Your bird definitely does not look mortally wounded and should be okay with TLC.

Just got home - First, I think your pretty white bird will be fine. You have been given excellent advice and I don't disagree with it. I 'jus doctor my birds a bit diferent'. If it bleeds and is free of debris I don't even always wash the wound very thoroughly. I don't oppose anti biotics, I just avoid them when I can. I like to se a scab form to cover the wound or I might use raw honey as a dressing.
Pigeons don't seem to easily go shocky after an attack but if the bird seemed to be in shock I would give Aconite in homeopathic formula. Then I would give Arnica Montana 30C for bleeding, swelling, etc. There's a few other remedies I use, if nerve damage is suspected, or fractures. TBH, in this case I would just rinse with saline and give a dose of Arnica.
Is there a puncture wound? I can't see its location very well or how deep it might be. For that I might give Ledum Palustre 30C just to be safe.
In the last 2 pics I see a bird doing very well. Maybe even proud of the escape... Lol Eating and drinking, correct?
Definitely do not cull. Like everyone else, I predict a full recovery!:)

Best of luck to you and 'Blanco'.:fl
