Many people do keep pigeons as pets, they're beautiful animals.

I've got a lot of links to wildlife carers from a lot of countries on my site, at
http://au.geocities.com/leaswebsite/links under "Wildlife Assistance" - just click on them all, click on your country and state, have a browse, 'phone them and ask their advice.
These sites also explain all about what to do for orphan and injured birds -
http://www.crowsystems.com/rehab/babybird.html - this is an excellent article - be sure to read down the entire page for info on how to care.

There are rescues that will take in a pigeon. I have taken some in myself, with great success.
Try this site:

They might be able to help.
You could also try to get ahold of the American Union Homing/Racing Pigeon Association.
They also may be able to help.
Good luck.

Any local shelter should take care of it...some people adopt them as pets.

I would try and give it to the zoo.They will take it.The animal shelter might put it to sleep.
