And now it is just kind of hangin around my backyard. I have a dog, and I dont want her to get any illness from the bird. I know it isnt a pigeon. I have called animal control where I live in Henderson (its by Las Vegas) and they dont have any answers and connot pick it up because it is not a domestic animal. Any ideas on who I can contact to pick up the bird?????? It is still alive, and I think its hurt, but I cannot approach it.
Any ideas would help.

Great answers so far....except
OK, keep in mind, my dog has to go outside to pee and poo, so not letting her out is not an option. She leaves the bird alone, but if she were to sniff it or try to "help" the bird I dont want her to get anything.

your dog is not going to get anything from the bird...I would be more worried about your dog killing it. If birds were as infectious as most people think we would all be dead! It may be stunned and needs to rest a while before it can fly again. You can put it in a box and let it recoop and see if it is able to fly after it has time to rest. Or call a local wildlife rehab in your area and they can care for it until it is ready to go or keep it if it is unreleaseable.

Unless you have an animal rescue organization or know of a person that does animal rescue type activities.... it's sounds cold but you may either want to put it down or just leave it alone.
Try calling these people and see if they know any animal rescue people in your area.

Your dog will not catch anything from a bird. Let nature take its course. The bird will either find somewhere to go and die if it is fatally hurt or it will go away on it's own.

Animal control dropped the ball, they should have been able to refer you to someone who can help. Try calling your local humane society/ animal shelter. They are awesome with resources and can probably direct you to a rescue group. Good Luck!

%. it up and put in dim lit room in a container with some style of lid on it with air holes. supply it it sluggish to get well as they in many circumstances do after colliding with residing house windows. If it does no longer look greater advantageous in a hour or so then call vet that takes in injured wildlife. that's loose for all wildlife. they might refer you to a wildlife rehabber on your section which will take it and preserve it that's loose additionally. you only could transport there. placed a shallow cap of water in with it and a shallow cap of foodstuff so if it recovers adequate it could income power with foodstuff and water. suited guess is attending to vet or rehabber.
