Injured Pigeon rescue with horrible wound

He’s badly injured but lucky to be alive, this poor pigeon was lying in the road with cars whizzing past him.   No one bothered to stop and he was within seconds of being run over.  A terrifying experience for him. When we picked him up he didn’t put up any resistance, his injuries probably look worse than they are but he is in shock.His wings and legs seem alright but he has lost a lot of blood and is too stressed to move.

We’ve patched him up and put him in a darkened box next to the radiators.   He’s warm and dry and safe.  We’ll leave him to be quiet and recover and check on him again in an hour or so..

Prayers please for this beautiful bird.
