Help me help sick pigeons in Harlem
Hi all,
I try to help pigeons in Harlem, especially on 125th street. Some people in the community stop and see me taking string or hair off their feet to prevent limb loss, but for a lot of pigeons they need additional care. Recently friendly neighbors let me know when a pigeon isn’t flying or has been in the same spot for a long time. A couple of houseless people walked me to a pigeon baby abandoned.
If you see a pigeon who isn’t walking a lot, and sits down often, or any pigeons who cannot fly please let me know. There is also a pigeon who really needs help around the 125th street park Avenue. She might have a reproductive issue where an egg is stuck to her which can be very dangerous.
All pigeons go to Wild Bird Fund on the upper west side.

Thanks for helping me help our feathered friends
