I saved a pigeon once! In a car park, it had a broken wing. Had a swine of a time getting any bird charity to collect it they were all of a stamp on it and kill it frame of mind so you did well. Pigeons are daft and it would never have managed without you.
I can imagine the sudden flapping of a pigeon causing quite the stir in the dead quiet of an abandoned house!
They are terrible for keeping quiet until you are on top of them, and then fly out of some nook making a load of noise. It was quite funny watching it try to escape, we had to coax it to the gap.
As long as there was no penisery in the coaxing!!!
