Help There is a pigeon who cannot fly and he is standing still. He blinks a lot and sometimes closes his eyes for a few seconds then opens them again. He doesn’t move much. What should I do?

A veterinary consultation would be essential to determine if there is any broken wing or major trauma, which is affecting his ability to fly and move. I would strongly suggest to take him to your local veterinary practice.
