While I was in Chester the other week playing Dr Dolittle with the squirrels and pigeons I saw this young pigeon which appeared to have injured one of it's wings.
I spotted blood but it was on the far side of some railings so I couldn't try and catch it to have a closer look.
My guess is that it was injured falling from it's nest.

It seemed happy enough and and I guess it's parents were around and feeding it...
...hopefully the injury wasn't too bad.

They are not the prettiest creatures on the planet at this age.
Fingers crossed it's OK and goes on to enjoy a long life.
Back from my trip to hospital for an ultrasound scan on my knee/calf and it's good news... no DVT.
Apparently I have had a ruptured Bakers Cyst and although very sore should get better with rest.

ReplyDeletePoor little thing, obviously shouldn't be out of the nest yet and it doesn't look as if it can fly. Fingers crossed for the mite!

That is a face only a mother could love! The blood may will have come from a damaged feather pin - they can bleed a lot.
ReplyDeleteHope you knee improves.

Beautiful photographs, birds are very photogenic. I am greeting
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the news about your calf, I hope your knee improves too.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of the young pigeon, all fluff still, and not looking too concerned so hopefully will recover.
Poor baby! He's obviously too young to be out of the nest. Hope the parents can safely take care of him until he's on his own.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're on the mend.
