Injured pigeon outside dulwich library

[tiddles]

My son is worried about a possibly injured pigeon outside the dulwich library.

Seems sad to leave it and the rspca website does not help much. Any ideas about

Wildlife rescue?

The Neighbourhood Vet on LL between Barclay's ATM & Co-Op. I took an injured bird & it was able to make a swift recovery. They treated the little thing fast & updated me with the good news within an hour. The bird was then sent to a Wildlife Rescue organization.

You could try the below - quoted from this site: https://www.londonwildlifeprotection.org/found-an-animal/

Before calling us please:

Ensure bird/animal is moved out of danger

Place bird in a closed and ventilated cardboard box(make lots of holes)

Place tissues under the bird to help soak any droppings

Put bird/animal in a safe place at room temperature

Place a bowl of water for bird/animal to drink to prevent dehydration

Do not feed pigeons meat/dairy products

Do not squirt water into the mouths of birds or animals; it will make them ill and may kill them

Then Call LWP on 07909 795064

In the past we've take birds to this rescue (see below) - more details on their website http://www.savethepigeons.org/sickbirds.html

We've taken injured birds, including pigeons, quite regularly to the Neighbourhood vets on Lordship Lane and they've always been absolutely brilliant and lovely about it -and happy to help.

I have phoned the RSPCA about an injured bird in my garden before and they responded very quickly. Local officers are based not far away from East Dulwich.

What happened to it ?

[tiddles]

We went with a cardboard box and it had disappeared.......

Maybe a fox got it

Hopefully it recovered a bit and was able to fly away. I hope your son wasn't too upset.
