So I stopped the car and go out to see if the bird was okay. It wasnt but it was still alive. So I called the bird hospital in our town. They said they couldn't take wildlife, and referred me to a Boston area wildlife hospital. I called them and together we figured out it must have been a racing pigeon based on the tags on its feet. People own these pigeons, usually in large numbers, and send them out on adventures. Sometimes they get disoriented and don't return. Idk if this one was sick or what bc it didn't run swat when my car got near.

Anyhow, the bird was in over venous distreess based on its breathing and it passed away while I was on the phone with the hospital. Poor thing. So I got a plastic bag that I had in my car and picked it up and placed I tinder a tree.

Then I went online, like the lady at the wildlife hospital suggested, to type in the numbers on the tags that were on the birds feet. At least I was able to notify the owner.

Such a sad story, right? But who hits nd kills someone's pet pigeon? Only I would-what horrible luck! Poor bird.
Life---
You hit one 4 years ago, and here I am in 2016, ran over a pigeon. I got home and all along was thinking, that was a bird, birds usually fly off.

When i felt my front right tire run over, i was OMG. hadnt the pigeon flown off.
I stopped and got out. there were two other birds that came onto the road and were trying to lift this dead bird off. a taxi coming my way swerved and kept on rolling. for me, time had stopped. i went and picked up the dead bird and laid it by the side. and drove away.
have hit people when i was drivin high, hav had cops pick me up after i overturnd my car but never in 37 years kill a living being accidentally
shud hav stayed home today as usual, instead i thot to meet up a friend and family for lunch.
that pigeon wud still have been flying now if i hadnt felt like socializing.
Read the posts, idk whether the bird was disoriented, poisoned, or wtever...
but realized again, life is just that, there now, gone next sec... some ahole decided to socialize on a weekend
