You showed compassion to an injured animal and you did the right thing. Many people have animals and do not care for them. You cared for an injured animal that wasn't even known to you. You can rest assured that this pidgeon is a lot happier being delivered from pain.
God bless you for your compassion.

That was such a kind thing for you to do. We all thank you. Since I'm kind of a Pollyanna about birds and death and dying anyway, I prefer to believe in the fable of the "Rainbow Bridge":
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
I found a new version of it that was written when Steve Irwin died. This one turned me into a pile of tears:
A new version of the Rainbow Bridge Poem, dedicated to Steve Irwin.
Rainbow Bridge is a place of both peace and anticipation as departed pets await their beloved owners. There are plenty of things to keep them contented while they wait: trees you can’t get stuck in, endless meadows, splashing streams, thickets perfect to hide in for pounce-attack games.
But one day the residents noticed some rather…unusual newcomers arrive. The koalas and the kangaroos slipped in rather quietly, but then came the bearded dragons, the skinks and the goannas. The influx of snakes startled an entire family of cats up a tree. Pythons, cobras, tiger snakes, brown snakes and even fierce snakes.
There were so many at one point, it seemed the ground itself was alive with writhing. A burly wombat shouldered his way through the crowd and plopped down in a shady spot, barely missing a Jack Russell terrier who yapped indignantly as he abandoned his position. And then the crocodiles showed up…
Finally, a Great Dane managed to get up enough nerve to approach one of the reptillian giants. “Um….excuse me,” he said hesitantly. “But why are you all here?” The croc dropped her jaw and laughed. “Same as you, mate,” she said. “Waitin’ for someone who loved us.”
The idea of the Rainbow Bridge comforts me. It simply makes me feel better about the world when animals die and whatever works for you best is the way to go. This is my way of coping with it.

No, he's dead. There is no "happier," but at least he's not in pain any longer.
