A quick comic about the awesome pigeon today at bird rescue.
If I had my house already I would so have offered to take him.

We care for many wild birds at the rescue, but we usually ALWAYS have pigeons/doves and I love caring for them. There was a baby this week too who hasn't quite stopped begging for food yet so I had to keep pushing him away from me to encourage him to be more pigeon-like. But man, so adorable.
Not to sound crass but isn't healing a common city pigeon in America about the same as helping a European rabbit in Australia?
They are both technically invasive species...
Not that I don't feel for the suffering animal or wouldn't want to help it myself, I just kinda think like "institutionalized pigeon care, really?"
I guess I'm weird but if I see a squirrel dragging itself by it's front legs across the road I'd rather end it's suffering quickly than prolong it...
Please don't crucify me for thinking that I'll go donate to the local raptor rehab center if you don't yell at me...

psst, they're a food source for peregrine falcons that are nesting and breeding in the city, look up the Peregrine, and you'll find out more. it's a breed of Falcon that specializes in catching other birds, they've been endangered for a while, due to use of a pesticide with DDT in it.
