Well, he's still alive and according to the Pigeon Guy, if he is not dead by noon tomorrow, he will probably be alright, at which point I'll put him back on the locker with his mother. She's still up there with the other baby. The cats have been inside all day, but I let them out after dark.
As Maya mentioned, wounded pigeons have to be treated right away with an antibiotic against bacteria from the cat's mouth BUT the Pigeon Guy said he has seem quite a few survive without it. From what I can see, the wound is now dry and his legs and wings are working fine.
We hoped the mother would go on feeding him through the door of the crate but unfortunately that hasn't happened. I gave him some millet and water but he doesn't seem all that interested, too freaked out I guess.
I did my very best to discourage them from nesting there but they are so persistent!
So if he makes it through the night, things might work out.
