Before and after - picked up this little guy from the gutter yesterday evening where it had huddled up, already ready to accept its fate. Completely emaciated. It received immediate care in the form of subcut fluids, baby formula and all the warmth - totally different bird already this morning!

A young pigeon sitting on my hand, feathers all fluffed up, a sign that the bird is feeling incredibly unwell. Its eyes are closed and the beak is tucked into its chest feathers too, typical signs the bird is very cold and/or utterly exhausted - in this case both

The same young pigeon from the previous image, the morning after. It’s now standing on my hand upright, eyes wide open and curious. Its feathers are now smooth against its body too as they should be, a sign that the bird’s body has enough energy again to maintain its temperature on its own.

Skippy has such a little babyface, despite being almost 10 months old now, his cere is still rather soft and pink. He also still has a soft reddish patch on his chest, which usually fades before adulthood. 🤔 (Pic: The Skibbles chilling on my desk after an evening bath) #pigeonsky

Still feeling art-blocked to hell and back even after what’s been five years now, so I’m doodling pigeon face studies in crappy ballpoint ink pen so I don’t forget how to even hold a pen at this point. 🫠

Good morning to the ornery little gargoyle above my bed, please stop biting me.

World’s most spoiled little b—, refuses to eat anything other than peeled sunflower seeds apparently. (Eye got worse so now we’re on antibiotic eye drops on top of oral antibiotics, it’s not the eye seen in the video tho)

Why do I keep finding the absolute weirdest freak accident pigeons?! What even hurt this poor bird to leave a lump and cavity the size of my thumb?! And how did it survive to heal only to end up huddled up against the wall with nasty head trauma anyway?!

A lump of old dead tissue still attached to the pigeon on the side of its chest

Same pigeon after the lump of dead tissue fell off. There is now a giant mostly healed over cavity in its side.

Man this week has been insane. 36 hours of all pigeon related work in just three days. And that not even counting transit times or regular care for the pigeons I have at home. 🫠

Today was probably one of the hardest days in my whole time rescuing pigeons. 18 pigeons locked up in an attic, two already dead when we arrived, six on the verge of dying. Three of those also died in our hands, despite the fact we immediately gave them infusions and all the warmth we could find.

Photo showing eight feral pigeons in a cage, hungrily devouring some seeds. These were the lucky ones, still fit enough to be able to fly at all, but already so weak it was incredibly easy to catch them regardless.

If you see this post a bird 🪶

Feral chequered pigeon sitting on a nest made of sticks, dirt and thrown away plastic ribbons. The nest is wedged perfectly into a rather narrow space between metal beams. He’s giving you a look that says “one step closer and the boss battle music will start, I dare you”

If you see this, post your bird #art! I have many kinds of bird arts, yes. 👀 (But mostly I just have lots of birds nowadays)

A digital painting of a spooky green fire phoenix based on a magpie, rising up from mountains of skulls and bones against a dirty red sky.

A quick rendering done of a 3D model I made of a ginger and white feathered Kenku character, holding an undefined green glowing light to her chest. The model is unfinished a of right now, this was merely meant to serve as a painting reference.

A photo of a brown and grey homing pigeon with splashes of white on its head looking upwards. The neck shines in purple, yellow and green colours unlike the typical teal and purple.

Photo of a partial fursuit featuring a corvid head (built on a resin base by Crystumes) and grey arm gloves ending in black iridescent feathers made from foam. The character is otherwise wearing red clothes and is holding a bow and arrow. Other than the headbase, bow and quiver and the shirt, the costume was made by me.

Haino has been sitting on these fake eggs since October 4th now, I admire his determination. I think his wife may be cheating on him tho, I only see her around now and then when I come by. He always stays and keeps me company while I clean tho, as long as I leave his nest alone that is. #pigeonsky

Good morning, have a majestic portrait of old Scronkleface from a while ago for #PigeonSky

New day new paramyxovirus patient, ‘tis the season after all.🥲 Yes this bird is still alive, got a really really bad case of twisty neck though.

A pigeon with a paramyxovirus infection being held in one hand while its neck is twisted around awkwardly, making it easy enough to mistake for dead. It’s not dead though.

Happy Birbday to me, Skippy is very excited over the gifted delivery of new poopy mats and poopy slabs! …okay that’s a lie, Skippy doesn’t even know what they are and just wants love and seeds, but I’m sure the other pigeons will appreciate dry feet and healthy guts!

Oh hey guess who‘s as late as ever to join the party. Went the entire time of lockdowns without catching it, didn’t even catch it at a con or other event… nope, just like that. Luckily only had a one day fever and a runny nose now, with a bit of pressure on the ears. I’m more annoyed than anything

Yep it’s a covid test and it is clearly positive.

In the meantime her man was having a bath, getting everything all around soaked with him.

The lady is feeling a bit adventurous today, and is very cute (as usual)

I’m befriending the local crows, finally. They already know when I’ll be passing through here and that I bring delicious peanuts. And they already demand more ahaha but I’m all outta peanuts already. They’re stashing most of them nearby, under leaf litter or they tear out some moss for cover.

Two crows in the distance, one by the road and another sitting on a sign, asking me what’s for dinner.

How much do pigeons love bathing? The answer is yes.

Some people carry falcons on their arms… me? Wood pigeon youngster who cluelessly drank from a puddle on the road. Can’t fly yet, seems to be mostly healthy otherwise though at least. It’s very grumpy.

I also have two of these pretty birbs now. 👀 Always wanted pet birds, never been too fond of parrots as pets though because they’re loud and destructive. I really only recently realised that pigeons have always been an option too. A much better option even, because they’re much more gentle.

A black laced satinette old type oriental frill pigeon. Basically a very cute white and grey bird, with a short beak and an adorable little feather crest.

Good morning pigeons greeting the rising sun. It’s getting cold outside.

Two rescued pigeons sitting in front of a balcony safety net, enjoying the morning sun and looking at what’s happening down on the streets in the blurry distance.

Apparently this year fate chose to punch me in the face with a sign to change careers into animal rescue and care. Started with the pigeons, now I just missed my timely bus to work because I had to rescue two adorable kittens that were most likely abandoned in a parking lot.

Also for a change of pace or something, I’ve been noodling around with sculpting one of them weirdo cats in 3D (on iPad using Nomad sculpt)

Sometimes you just gotta go and grab a pigeon with your bare hands after work.

Pigeon feet, both tangled up in human hair and black thread, luckily caught in time before any toes got cut off. Most pigeons aren’t so lucky.

The tiniest of nuggets. Just collected it from a balcony of an empty flat that needs to be cleaned so new people can move in on the first. Now I’m delivering it to its new foster parents. 🥹

Two lil’ squeakers reunited. Most likely siblings since they were found at the same location on the ground, just two days apart. That makes it… seven pigeons in my care now. :’)

Today’s pigeon adventures involved one (1) egg soon to be chick. Probably gonna hatch next week and then I will return to scoop the little ugly cutie up and shove it under some unsuspecting other broody pigeon’s butt. 👌 Somehow people keep being quite fascinated by the egg candling process here.

Headed downtown to take some pictures of pigeons…. Ended up bribing the local gang of crows with peanuts instead.

A suspicious scraggly young crow looking at a peanut off screen.

The same young crow as before, now with a peanut in its beak and ready to make an escape

An also very wary crow with some white-ish feathers. It’s pretending very hard not to be looking at a peanut off screen.

Two crows and a peanut. The one who got the peanut is turning to run like hell.

Also encountered the angriest looking pigeon who was actually rather sweet and the actually angriest pigeon who was more interested in bullying another pigeon than grabbing any of the seeds we fed them. Silly bird has weird priorities.

A pied city pigeon with a dark spot just above its eyes looking like an angry eyebrow.

One pigeon that is trying to eat some seeds while another is more interested in harassing it, sticking its head through the other’s wing feathers to peck at its neck.

Pigeon piles. Went out today to see if we can find some tangled pigeons to free, but mostly we just got a bunch of photos in the end. Didn’t manage to catch any of the four or so tangled birds we spotted sadly.

Hello, I still have no art worth posting so you folks here get pigeon updates instead too. First is Sir Ricky the sleepy loaf and second is the still nameless pigeon full of parasites who hates me but also always wants to snuggle close to me when it’s on my lap for inspection and medicine time.

A round pigeon loafing on a bowl, surrounded by a lot of poop because this one is a messy bastard.
