Oh my goodness I am so sorry! It is NOT illegal for you to have and raise her. Pigeons are non-native and considered feral. It’s just like rescuing a feral kitten. I am so sorry, I have had some horrible vets over the years, many just don’t feel pigeons are “worth it” which is so sad...

You have been doing a great job, baby pigeons are a huge responsibility to take on. I’m so impressed by all you are doing to help this sweet little one ❤️

You don’t just happen to be in central texas, do you? If so I can help! I was a moderator for the Palomacy group for years and I can message them directly to approve your request to join right away.

Did you join Palomacy’s help group on Facebook? you would get much quicker responses then on here for emergencies. How is he doing? Is there formula blocking his nares?
