Default HELP!ingured pigeon!

Hello guys i need some advice! Im trying to revise for an exam tomorrow and i just found a pigeon in my garden that cant fly. Its wings are fine, legs are fine but on inspection it looks like it has a bite on its side under its right wing. its feisty enough to get out of the box i tried to put him in but what can i do!! I feel mean just leaving him there but i dont know where on earth i would take him that wouldnt just euthanise him anyway and ive not got time to go driving about!

HELP!

Has it got a ring on its leg, if so contact your local racing pigeon club they look after it( my old man(R.I.P) used to race them). if it's a wild one just shoot it they're vermin just like rats.

Phone your local wildlife rescue.
I would imagine it will be killed if the injury is severe or costly.

yea see thats the thing, if i call a rescue like the bluecross theyll just kill it so whats the point? my garden is secure from cats so i guess ill just carry on leaving it seeds and water and hope it gets better. Its injuries arnt severe at all, or at least they dont look it
