Answer 1

Please don't just drop this bird off at any local Vet. You haven't descried what the injuries are or what type of pigeons it is (fancy or feral) but pigeons aren't protected by law and therefor, a Vet is under no obligation to do anything for them. In fact, 9 times out of 10 they'll simply euthanize the bird instead of trying to help it.

The following site will help locate wildlife rehabbers in your area (or nearby) http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contactA.htm.

Also go to http://www.pigeons.biz/ for everything you need ot know about taking care of this bird while it's in your home. The site has some great first aid advice and might also be able to help with locating a person who can help.

Answer 2

ANY VETerinarian will take the pigeon-they will assess his injuries and do whats in the pigeon's best interest-if the pigeon can be saved they will treat and then turn over to a wildlife rehabilitator and eventually released if his raecovery is where it can survive out of captivity. Best to Call the Vet to make sure but just in case they do not will definitely refer you to one that will.

While you're on line, look for rehabilation centers or individuals in your area. Call your local shelter, they may have the name of someone. In the meantime, use a box with bedding to keep the bird warm. Don't try to feed it or give it water.
