Baby pigeons on balcony - what to do?
Aug 3, 2015 @ 22:18

Hi there,


I cleaned out some boxes from my balcony and found a pigeon nest behind. There are 2 baby pigeons which are now cowering in the corner of the balcony and have not moved since yesterday - I guess their parents are too scared to return for them.   


From the pictures I have searched online it looks like they are about 20 - 25 days old. 


What do I do? Is there a bird rescue centre or something in Geneva I can call for advice? 


I don't want them to die of hunger or exposure! 


Thanks a lot in advance,


Jenny

Hello,


Here is the number for the emergency vets:


0900 83 8343

I had a similar situation and the operator told me which vet was open very late and we drove the bird over there.


Good luck :)

Hello! 


What did you end up doing in the end?


I just realised I have the same problem!


Ideally I would want somebody to come and pick them up?


Thank you,


Dan

Try contacting the Bird Rehabilitation Centre (COR) or the SPA (animal protection society).  They have websites.
