Today i found a pigeon in my back yard. I knew something was wrong when i walked to it and it didnt fly off. Since its raining out today and pretty cold i put it in a box and brought it in my screen room so that its warm and dry and safe from predators. So i go check on it and i notice one of its wings are not tucked on like the other one
Its kinda just hanging there. If i call an animal place they wont have anything to do with it because its a pigeon. I cant just let it die though. What do i do.

Best thing is keep it warm, quiet and if possible some fluids by beak.

Do you have a vet that you can contact for assistance? If the wing truly is broken it will need to be set so it can heal. They may at least be able to get you contact information for someone who may be able to help even if they can't.
