Hey guys! Found a cardinal on the road injured and I’m just wondering if anyone knows someone I could call to help Source

I’ve seen others post about a similar issue so I figured I’d ask here as well. If I’m not mistaken, the bird in the photos is a homing pigeon. However, I don’t see a tag on him?? So maybe it’s someone actual bird?? I didn’t think much of it when he landed in my yard as I assumed he was taking a rest and would be on his way.. Fast forward to day 3. He just keeps coming back. All the time! The only time he flies away is if my dog goes out back or I shoo it away.. I’m starting to wonder if it may be lost/confused or trying to nest?? I don’t know what to do for it or how to help it if needed? It doesn’t appear to be injured given the fact it can fly, but clearly it must be lost😔 Any advice as to what to do from someone who has actual experience with a similar issue would be greatly appreciated. If this is normal then okay, but I’m getting the feeling it’s not given the length of time now😕 Source

Found kitten Barrie Kozlov & McDougal area 230am Friday June 23rd. Source

Wondering if anyone has seen my sign, or better yet, who STOLE my sign? And the metal dog bowl, including the nails that were used to put it up. I have my suspicions but if anyone has any information, please let me know. If you have a doorbell camera with the direct view of 269/271 Ferndale drive south please message me. THIS IS THEFT!!!

Not sure if anyone can help with an abandon raccoon. We have called all wildlife sanctuaries and they are all full. It was found on a golf course laying on a pathway, very cold. I’m willing to drive to someone if they have rehab experience. Source

Not a concern, but this is disgusting watching grown adults sit there and when they leave left a mess for the bus driver to clean they arent your maids. Ruining spot for others to sit especially when the bus gets fully packed people will stand before sitting in pile of chips. This is exactly reason why no eating is allowed on the bus cause people do this and ruin it. Source
