    Releasing rescued pigeon?

    A few weeks ago, I went into our barn to get some straw for my geese. I noticed something moving on the floor of the barn - a very young pigeon. Way too young to be out of its nest.

    abandoned duck needs home!

    A muscovy (I think) appeared at our school in Santa Ana last week. She seems comfortable around people, so I think someone dropped her off. I would like to send her to a good home for the holidays! Please help! Thank you so much.
