  • We attend various calls to rescue animals trapped in fences, however, normally they are foxes and deer - not wood pigeons!
    The poor thing had gotten both wings through and out the other side of a metal fence and was unable to release itself. Lawrie to the rescue!

    Thank you for helping pigeons. I called the RSPCA about twenty years ago when I found a pigeon close to death in my street. They refused to help because they are classed as vermin and wouldn't even allow me to drop it off at their hospital. I cried. They are only a problem because of our unnatural cities.

    • @westelaudio943
      @westelaudio943 2 года назад +2

      This is a wood pigeon. They dwell in trees and are a native species. Please don't confuse these birds.
      The problem with pigeons in cities in not because they're unnatural, but _too natural_ for the feral rock dove, as the buildings and especially bridges resemble their natural cliff habitat. They simply can't breed in the countryside off the cliffs of the coast. So they accumulate in the cities.

    I have a soft spot for wood pigeons, found one that had been hit by a car on my way to school so I took him to the PDSA on the bus i had to catch to get to school. He happily sat wrapped in my coat and did even need to be held for the whole journey of about half an hour (unfortunately I needed to catch that bus so I wasn't late but closer to school at the PDSA I could get 2 buses) he was a lovely bird and I hope he was okay

      Me too but I didn't know who to call or where to take it and I was working at the time so I just left it behind a wall and when I came back to check up on it after work hoping it flew off I could see it crawled for a bit and died, other people only came to me when I stopped the traffic to pick it up but no one could help it poor thing. At least now I know about wildlife aid and I can rely on them because they're local and I wouldn't mind dropping animals off to them either.

    One of my favourite birds has to be the New Zealand Wood Pigeon. They're quite goofy tbh. They're quite large and have beautiful plumage but they're still pigeons at heart. Although they DO have a habit of getting drunk as hell on fermented berries and doing rather silly stuff as a result. I love them a lot

      There is a group of pigeons at our local shopping centre who take great delight at the large hole in the road in one of the least used parking spaces. When it rains its like a small swimming pool for birds. Sometimes 5-6 pigeons are in there splashing about and a few are watching on waiting their turn. There are signs everywhere that say 'don't feed the pigeons' where you can usually see someone 'feeding the pigeons' 😂

    When you guys pu text comments on the video, can you please leave it up longer than .5 milliseconds? I have run this piece back four times trying to pause it at the exact right second to read it; and I still haven't been able to catch it 😕

      Haha, we try to do it like this to see how many people can spot it. It says 'I'm fine here thanks!' :D
