OK, so I hate birds...they freak me out and I don't know why. But here's the problem.
I live in an apt. building and I have a balcony that the roof hangs over. I have a wall unit air conditioner that sticks outside about 6 inches.
A pigeon has made this ledge his home.
He has a green band around his leg and he's not afraid of me at all. I put some water and some bread out there and I stood on a stool very close to him and talked to him. He just stares with his head cocked to the side and moves his beak like he's muttering.
There's droppings on my balcony which suggests that he's been hanging for awhile but I haven't been out there to notice. It's freezing out so I put an old hand towel on the AC ledge next to him so he wouldn't have to stand on the cold metal.
But he's been out there all day and I'm worried. What should I do? I can't bring him in the house and cage him, that would be cruel. Plus, the cats would go nuts.
But I'm really worried about him. It's really cold at night now and he's all puffed up already trying to keep warm.
Any suggestions for this poor birdie that we're now calling Pete?

It does feel good to save one animal though but it sucks we can't save them all.
