rayo Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Not sure if this is in the right section but I noticed this pigeon in my back garden this afternoon it was obviously injured so I put it out of its misery (air rifle head shot) . On closer inspection I'm not sure if it's been had by a cat or the two crows that was harassing it. It was missing lots tail feathers Any ideas what could have happened to sustain it's injurys Edited September 19, 2023 by rayo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellors Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Looks like a hawk strike or a cat and it escaped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in parts of Wales G C you would be going that slow the Pigeons could have a three course meal before you would arrive , yes I agree it could be anything , some of these Wood Pigeons that go into the town and countryside gardens are more tame than the ferals and a cat or even a Fox can sometime catch them , or try to catch them , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 I had a pigeon nest in a bush at the back door after they reared then they spent two days calling on them to leave the nest , after they left the nest twenty minutes later a seagull had killed and ate them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
