The pigeons fight a lot, we had a pair who would scrap quite viciously in our garden last year, beating each other with their wings.

More than likely been attacked by a predator hawk or similar, thankfully birds don't see colour as an issue x

We feed the birds in our back garden and as usual the pigeons dominate.
They're all 'shades of grey' apart from one which is coffee brown and white and now has a damaged wing. Flies with difficulty?
Do you think it has been attacked by the others because it's different? I feel so sorry for him/her, hanging around the back yard and hiding behind a shovel.
