I have 2 pigeons who roost on my porch every night, Harold and Henrietta. Yesterday Harold was attack by a falcon/hawk and I interviened and was able to rescue him. I have him inside with food and water and it is warm. I out a 50/50 water peroxide on the cuts I could see. I have a vet appointment at 1:30 so he will get all the help he needs. My questions are: will he survive? Is there anything more I can do for him? IF he has a punctured lung, can he recover? I do not want him put to sleep if he can survive a happy life living with me. He seems very friendly just nervous.
My questions about his mate are: should I bring her in too, especially since this falcon/hawk has been around? If so, how can I catch her?
I have read everything possible, including laws, and joined a pigeon forum as well. So I am not totally uneducated about pigeons or feral pigeons. Any hellp or advice is greatly appreciated!! Thank you!
