I work at an emergency vet clinic, and last night (my night off) I got a phone call from work. "There's a pigeon that a good sam brought in that needs a home". There were actually two, but the one had such a badly mangled wing, they euthanized it. I went and picked her up today, she is beautiful. Almost all white, with a little black flecking on the back of her neck, and some mahogany brownish on a couple of her tail feathers. She will have a forever home with us. BUT I am really angry at whomever dumped her. I really believe that she was dumped. They were found in a field, BOTH of her wings have been broken and healed BADLY, she will never fly again, she can't even spread her wings fully. There are a lot of scars on her. I am guessing that she was used as a bait bird for training hunting dogs. There's no way these birds got out there by themselves.
I will post pics of her tomorrow when it's light out, and maybe someone can tell me what breed she is. (There's no leg band).
