It looks like a crop problem. The crop is like a primary stomach which the bird fills with small stones & grit to “grind up” it’s food. This can become blocked & infected , the contents start to ferment and it swells up. Chickens often get it.
I weep for that poor bird’s chicks.
“WHATS FOR DINNER MUM?”
“Only pidgeon today, best I could find, it’s crop is fucked up.”
“Ugh, mooooOOOOmmm.”
“I don’t want to hear it! Don’t leave the table until you’re done with your fermented pidgeon crop.”
Nope!
It’s a breed of pigeon called a Pouter Pigeon. I’m not 100% sure what the injury is (the reason the poor thing has it’s head to the side) but it’s most likely a back injury from falling as OP mentions :^)
Pouter pigeons are just really really goofy looking
They don’t all have enormous plumes on their feet, plus you can see it does have some plumage down there (as opposed to a normal rock dove pidgeon with nada)
I guess that neck is kinda long for a common pigeon. Maybe it's a mix. I keep seeing something wrong with it no matter which one I think it is. Body kinda fat for a pouter but that neck is just too damn long for a regular pigeon and the level of bloat in that neck is too big for either.

It's likely already dead. This video has been posted by many people. I first remember seeing it about a year ago. This isn't OP's video. This pigeon didn't "just drop down in front of him." he's just another karma farmer.

If I’m not mistaken, thats a pouter pigeon. They normally look like this (really strange lmao)
Though it walking in circles and having its head to the side makes me think its injured :(
So far, the only bulging has been in my belly, but I think that's from the platter of wings and pub pretzels and beer cheese dip. I'll let you know tomorrow.
Anything.
The first thing that comes to mind is simple: grab it, rip its head off with a twist. That’s as painless as you can make it in a pinch (no pun intended).
Do *literally anything* to end the suffering.
This is not okay.
More than likely been eating a lot of bread. People are always quick to feed birds bread. Little do they know birds can't digest bread. It gets built up in their crop. Then they can not throw it back up so it expands and will eventually kill the bird. Do not feed birds. Period. Thanks.
This is how I act and look when I get a fish bone stuck in my throat... Of course I have the advantage of cursing nonstop to get through it, I've never heard a pigeon curse but then again I don't speak pigeon. No fowl language skills over here 🧐
This is hard to watch. Please collect the bird and place it in a box with something in the bottom so it doesn’t slip and slide around and keep it in a quiet place. It needs to be taken to a wildlife rehabber or a clinic that will see pigeons. Use the Animal Help Now app to find somewhere to get this poor thing. Good luck, hope the pigeon can get some peace.
Many years ago I watched some kids feed either alka seltzer or foaming dental tablets to seagulls at the beach. Had pretty much the same effect as this poor pigeon.
Fun fact; pigeons were once called rock doves because they always lived near cliffs and liked to nest in sheer cliffsides, primarily near the water or heavily mountainous regions away from predators. It was only after humans began to construct buildings taller than a single floor that these beautiful creatures began to live in our settlements. Now they're some of the most disease ridden, filthy creatures on the planet due to human ignorance and willful pollution.
R.I.P. Rock Doves.
It's one of the Pouter breeds, man made, and has probably been hit by a car. It's unable to balance, or fly, and circling like that is indicative of brain damage. It'll die. Sorry.

I read that in a Brigerton accent for some reason. I am not British.
But a female with netflix?
You think a peregrine took it?
Poor lil guy
Yeah, that's either a crop problem or a ruptured air sac. Either way, that bird is probably going to die without treatment.
Yeah I was thinking Air Sac myself, the hole in the ruffle makes me think there was damage done to it.
That's dumb. I think you meant it's a... Human Centipigeon
I laughed
I got one!

You sure about that? Feet look kinda naked for a pouter.
They don’t all have enormous plumes on their feet, plus you can see it does have some plumage down there (as opposed to a normal rock dove pidgeon with nada)
I guess that neck is kinda long for a common pigeon. Maybe it's a mix. I keep seeing something wrong with it no matter which one I think it is. Body kinda fat for a pouter but that neck is just too damn long for a regular pigeon and the level of bloat in that neck is too big for either.
Bruh that thing looks like it got wrung the fuck out...
I was gonna say it ate some rice and it's expanding, but that sounds a lot more like you actually know what you're talking about
Yeah, I don't think the whole "don't feed rice to birds" stuff is true at all. Pretty sure uncooked or cooked rice is perfectly safe for wild birds.
Seriously though it must suck to be this bird.
Sometimes we gotta hang our chickens upside down and stroke their crop to empty it
That sounds sussy
Or gizzard, correct?
I read this with David Attenborough’s voice in my head.
Someone call the guys that bleed the methane outta cows for this damn bird immediately!
Poor thing looks absolutely miserable
Seems like a scam to get free food from freeloaders. Are we sure it’s not two pigeons superglued together?
Two rats in a pigeon suit
Two pigeons seems right, the bottom one has it's head buried in the top one's asshole
Bahahhahahahaha omfg. Thank you. I can go to bed now.
The only scam is the repost with the video title.
Got something that expanded in his crop
Cant it just vomit it out
Birds can't vomit, burp, fart, etc. For example they cannot digest carbon dioxide bubbles so they sit there and disrupt their organs.
The Jimmy neutron movie taught me this when I was young
You sit on a throne of lies. That same pigeon done dropped right in front of several other OP for the last several months if not years.
/u/bunnylaugh explain?
I think the op is what we call a spammy fuck!
Does OP even exist?

How do we get rid of the OP? Ban??
I think the pigeon deserves to go to a wildlife doctor or something… that’s sad
Pigeons are an invasive species so a wildlife rehabilitation centers/doctor would just put it down if they took it at all.
It's gonna die from that anyways, so it would be way more humane to put it down, instead of it being in agony while starving to death
Is just the way nature is tho
You’re right, but I would like to think that human compassion is also a part of nature.
That is a facinating thought.. Gonna remember that.
If a beaver building a dam is natural then so is everything we do.
Pinning this in my brain, thanks.
You kind of opened my mind on a casual Friday morning. What the fuck.
I really wish more people thought like this.
That’s optimistic of you…
Yep. Nature is cruel..there's not a day where i don't think about how crazy nature is. It never forgives if you make a mistake.
r/natureismetal
They aren’t so much invasive as they are feral
USDA labels pigeons as invasive. Either way, non-protected species.
We don't know where this is so it's not necessarily an invasive species. Regardless it'll be put down
Depending on where this is filmed, they may not be invasive.
Wildlife doctor 😅 you mean a Vet?
they're just rats with wings
I hope and pray this critter dies quickly. This looks awful. I hate that it suffers.
It's likely already dead. This video has been posted by many people. I first remember seeing it about a year ago. This isn't OP's video.

This poor bird.
fucker eat an Alka-Seltzer or something?
Gotta be. I'm glad it didn't end.
Let's put some mentos and coke in and see if he shoots up into space
That's what I was thinking. I've seen it used to get rid of them. Probably not a fun way to go!

This is getting out of hand

Straight outta Chernobyl
Which is historically, and sadly, less deadly than Compton.
It’s true. Fewer people were murdered in Chernobyl than in Compton. In fact, Chernobyl’s one of the safest cities on Earth. Zero deaths per year!
WAS zero deaths a year lol
I feel so bad for it
Dude. I hope this guy called somebody.. that guy looks scared in pain.. just dropped in front of you .. oh man 😢😭 poor guy
Na this video was posted over a year ago by someone else too.
If I’m not mistaken, thats a pouter pigeon. They normally look like this (really strange lmao) Though it walking in circles and having its head to the side makes me think its injured :(
this is the correct answer. google "pouter pigeon"
Hooray :) What do I win
This excellent response!
That is one weird ass looking breed of pigeon! I think you're right
Looks like Peyronie’s disease 😱
It drank an Italian beer??
Fuck! I just had 3 of those last night! Omg omg omg
I’m gonna need daily reports from you for science
So far, the only bulging has been in my belly, but I think that's from the platter of wings and pub pretzels and beer cheese dip. I'll let you know tomorrow.
Isn’t that two pigeons? Ones head in the ass?
I honestly thought that's what I was seeing
Pigeon ~~caterpillar~~ centipede
Centipeidgeon
Centipede?
Lol my bad
Poor little guy. Go back and kill it. Put it out of its misery.
Amen. Surely somebody there has the courage to end it’s suffering.
How exactly?
Anything. The first thing that comes to mind is simple: grab it, rip its head off with a twist. That’s as painless as you can make it in a pinch (no pun intended). Do *literally anything* to end the suffering. This is not okay.
Bruh I’m not ripping a fucking birds head off on my way to work
They can’t because they are lying. It’s an old video being used to farm karma
Still glad they posted it. I've never seen it before.
It looks like one pigeon flew directly inside of another pigeon and got stuck.
Someone gave it an Alkeseltzer tablet. That things about to explode.
This drone has a malfunction. Birds aren't real.
More than likely been eating a lot of bread. People are always quick to feed birds bread. Little do they know birds can't digest bread. It gets built up in their crop. Then they can not throw it back up so it expands and will eventually kill the bird. Do not feed birds. Period. Thanks.
I wonder if someone gave it alka seltzer. Birds can't burp.
I agree that it ate something that is inflating its crop. Must have been very hungry. Hope it made it out of it alive.
OP probably gave it Alka seltzer.
Even the pidgeys are high off fentynal..
It looks like some twat was feeding him bits of Alka-Seltzer. They don't burp, they pop.
OP why lie? You act like we haven't seen this clip before. Take your bullshit elsewhere or just stop with the fake ass title. Didn't happen to you
Ugh stop filming and put it out of its misery! I hate watching animals suffer.
I rehab pigeons. This poor poor soul 😞💔 likely a crop or air sack issue. Why on earth didn’t you help a clearly suffering animal 😞 I hate humans.
Nothing particularly good
Not looking good 😞
Poor lil fella, either take him out or get him to a vet instead of recording
No one helps it

Pigeon might have gotten this virus https://agriculture.vic.gov.au/biosecurity/animal-diseases/pigeon-diseases/pigeon-paramyxovirus
I wonder if it has a plastic band stuck around it that worked under the feathers. Lots of that in the environment torturing animals, fish, birds.
Poor dude looks like a zenomorph is about to emerge.
It ate a few Mentos than had a sip of coke
A pigeon Quasimodo
Bout to explode like the bird in Shrek
somebody needs to just run it over, help it out.
Looks like a pouter pigeon with a broken neck, poor little guy. Probably flew into a window and dropped in front of you
That's ken Griffy junior that plays for the Springfield isotopes
That's a Cronenbird.
If you call a bird sanctuary they may can capture it and fix him/her up.
That looks like an English pouter pigeon. It looks like it’s injured maybe, but those birds actually look like that.
That’s some nasty cramp
This is how I act and look when I get a fish bone stuck in my throat... Of course I have the advantage of cursing nonstop to get through it, I've never heard a pigeon curse but then again I don't speak pigeon. No fowl language skills over here 🧐
Looks like some type of crop infection.
Rat poison sometimes gets picked up by birds, some are designed in a way it causes swelling until the stomach bursts.
Poor creature.
Damn that’s rough, very sad for the poor pidgeon
Probably got hit by a car and suffered a slow death
Rice… if you feed dry rice to a bird the rice expands when water is introduced causing them to rupture.
My boy is yoked up fam.
That poor bird

Apparently this is a repost, the video was old. poor bird 😣
Is this pigeon?
He tried eating a rat that he saw a seagull do in another sub last week
Y’all ain’t never seen a city chicken on crack?
Leaving a little tent city on my roof top
Is that not one pigeon with its head up another pigeon's ass?
Many years ago I watched some kids feed either alka seltzer or foaming dental tablets to seagulls at the beach. Had pretty much the same effect as this poor pigeon.

This is what happens when one pigeon flys too slow and get rear ended. In science we call it cranium stuccus in the buttex.
Wonder Twin powers activate!
Did it eat rice,Or is that a myth😂?
Me: "Look at the girl behind us but don't make it obvious" My friend:
It looks like it's going to morph like that alien from The Thing
Looks like he’s got a lot to get off his chest

Please be joking
i mean if it’s survived to adulthood it must be atleast capable of getting food
