Flightless pigeon
We have what looks like a flightless pigeon (well it's certainly a pigeon, it just looks like it's flightless
 ) waddling around the garden periodically and sitting under the hedge for prolonged periods.Any ideas what to do about it? Don't like the idea of just leaving it to die slowly due to lack of food or be half eaten by one of the neighbourhood cats

I saw MasterChef yesterday and one of the starters was pan fried pigeon with wild mushrooms. Looked fantastic!

It's probably tired and shagged out after a particularly long squawk.

We had one in our garden on Tuesday, turned out to be a ickle babber one. Its Mummy or Daddy came down and shouted at it a bit and he went and flapped away in the end.

Well we tried to give it some bread earlier and it's acting very oddly. Doesn't move away as you come up to it and showed no interest in eating the bread. At one point it did manage to low-level fly to the other corner of the garden so it's obviously capable of flight. Maybe just a bit poorly or sommat?
