Hi, I have a wood pigeon in my garage where I have left it food and water. It has been hanging around the house for about 5 days but cannot fly but keeps returning to the same area. I'm afraid of my cats killing it so have put it in the garage for safety. It is a juvenile so I'm hoping it will gain strength shortly and fly off but I don't know.
Any suggestions on what I should do?

You could be right about waiting for it's parents because it keeps returning to almost exactly the same spot even though it runs off evert time I open the front door plus my cat has chased it across the road but it still returned. Will probably feed it for a few days then put it on the roof if I can't think of anything else.
Wish I wasn't so concientious about these things :-)

Mailed MartinMere who responded to say I should continue what I am doing or take it to a vet! ~Gonna continue for another day then probably put it on my 1st florr roof on Sunday in the hope it will fly off and live happily ever after. It is feeding, mealworm and sunflower seeds plus I boiled some sweetcorn for it tonight but looks very sad.
