FATEH. ....

I may get laughed at for posting this here.

Came home and mother tells me theres been a pigeon in the garden all day who cant fly. Had a look. Poor thing looks ok but cant seem to fly. When I have tried to get close poor thing just runs away.

Surely he will get eaten by the cats or something else tonight. Called RSPCA who have passed the call to their field staff but were unsure if there would be anyone available tonight in London.

Oh well - any suggestions are welcome.

Have you tried contacting a Veterinary Surgery/Wild life hospital? Check the yellow pages for your nearest one. If you can't get hold of one tonight try putting the pigeon into a box and placing it in your garage (assuming that you have one) and get it seen by a Vet tomorrow.

Also try http://www.londonwildcaretrust.co.uk/ and give them a call on their emergency line 020 8647 6230. They may be able to send a team out or offer you further advice on what to do with regards to handling the pigeon etc

You can ring RSPCA they will give you a number which you can quote they will also help you with a 24 hr vet ...quote the number when you get to the vet... they should not charge

Hope this helps

Birds are sometimes found in the garden, apparently looking uninjured, wondering and hopelessly trying to fly - here are the possibilities:

1. This behaviour is sometimes seen a few hours before death.

2. It is injured eg got clipped by a car.

3. Pidgeons are notorious for finding fermenting grains left in farm sheds at this time of year ie its drunk.

You can do the following:

Pick it up and open its wings to check state of feathers and bones - if broken, then its a gonna - leave alone. Otherwise you may want to attempt nursing it - if so be careful about flees and so keep it in a shed in a box, with newspaper shreds to keep it warm. Offer it a bowl of water and place worms (dead ones or alive) in the bowl. Check on it in the morning. If its still alive and behaving in that way, then its unlikley to get better - put it where you found it and let nature do the rest - even if that means a cat gets to it.

Even if not veggie - never eat an apparently ill animal!

Please let us know the outcome.

about 15 years ago same thing happened to us. we had taken the bird in a box to some animal rescue place.... we were later told by a vetinary that they prolly killed the bird because birds hardly ever recover from shock or if they do recover the road is too long.... i duno how much truth there is in this. but we were told they would treat the bird just to put our minds (being children) at ease but they have enjections n stuff to do the job.

if i was you i would just aid the bird the best u can(see jangal da's post - do be particularly carefull as they do carry germs... ive heard pidgeons in london carry clamedia... again i duno if this is fact )... give some pani and leave it undersome shelter on your roof/shed as advised. if it lives it lives if it dies it dies.

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
