What's the vet cost to treat an injured wild pigeon's broken wing?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Wild Bird | Male | | 2 lbs

I had a pigeon, just one, come back to my feeder for about a year now, i had found it injured in my lawn, assuming its a broken wing with feathers sticking out (dont know much about birds) but since it has been dedicated to my house i wanna treat it and was curious on prices... Just a section of wing seems misplaced and it seems to keep laying on its side ( keeping it in a pretty big Tupperware with alot of cloth liner) also eyes keep blinking i would assume pain?

Pricing will vary depending on your location, the clinic you go to, and what is wrong. Since the bird is wild, it is best to locate a wildlife vet or wildlife refuge near you that can safely take the bird in, treat it, and then re-release it once healthy.
