The bird had a broken wing.
Doctors one of the clinics of Omsk (Russia) during the working day he heard a knock at the door. The doctors opened it and saw on the threshold of a pedigree white pigeon. The bird was not afraid of people and was given into the hands. X-rays show that the dove was a fracture of the humerus.
A bird named Frank, and was operated on, fixing the wreckage of a bird’s wing needle. According to veterinarians, Frank on the same day began to eat, drink and waving to the sick wing.
Five weeks after surgery, the needle from the wing removed, but doctors have not yet released the dove to freedom — he needs to work out before the serious flights. Doctors suggest that early bird lived in the dovecote.

Two Pakistani students on Monday rubbished claims by Indian police and media which accused them of having crossed the border and labelled them terrorists.
The students, who are enrolled in a madressah in Faisalabad, said this in a press conference along with the madressah head Shahid Aziz.
Aziz said that Nadeem and Tayyab had gone to attend the Raiwind Ijtemah in Lahore after which they went to see the flag-hoisting ceremony at Wagah Border. There they snapped pictures, which were taken up by the Indian police, who put up their posters and asked the public to remain cautious of the terrorists.
Two Pakistani students on Monday rubbished claims by Indian police and media which accused them of having crossed the border and labeled them terrorists.
“We want to assure people that the two men are our students and they haven’t even been to India,” said the head of the madrassah.
He remarked that the philosophy of their institution is that students should only focus on their education. “Our students do not engage in any political or religious activism. They are not a part of any organization. Books are their only friends,” he remarked.
One of the students, Tayyab, said that he took a picture with his friend as a memory. He said that he didn’t know how or when the picture went viral on WhatsApp. Indian news channel showing police putting up Pakistani students’ picture-Screengrab.

An Indian news channel can be seen showing the pictures and claiming that they are terrorists who have entered India to commit terror activities.
This incident indicates the jingoistic sentiments in India which is hell-bent upon maligning Pakistan. In past, India has also accused some ‘pigeons’ of espionage. Even fruit hasn’t been spared when Indian Punjab Police confiscated two apples on which Pakistan Zindabad was written.
Indian media is in a habit of sensationalizing events in a never-ending battle to increase their viewership. It’s better for the Indian media to verify its stories to avoid being embarrassed.

Nuisance pigeons have ruffled a few feathers among diners at restaurants at Chatham Maritime.
And now site managers have chosen a humane way of getting rid of the pests – they have brought in a flying squad.
Trained falcons have proved successful in deterring the birds at Pier Five where there are a number of al fresco eateries.
The most common is the harris hawk, which are natural predators of pigeons and therefore their regular presence scares them away.
Chatham Maritime is home to several restaurants and with views across the water, is popular with diners wanting to sit outside and soak up the atmosphere.
But the food was also attracting birds looking for scraps.
Chatham Maritime Trustees have hired Rentokil Pest Control experts to eradicate the problem.
Rentokil’s operations manager Paul Catlin said: “The pigeons are a genuine problem for a number of the traders at Pier Five.
“A humane approach was the best way of dealing with them.
“Hawking represents a natural way to deter birds in urban areas without harm, while protecting visitors, residents and traders.”
The pigeons love of food has encouraged them to come into regular human contact, with some brazenly approaching customers around the marina area.
Rentokil has hired falconers to carry out the task.
Falconer Marc Bushell is a regular visitor with his hawk, Oliver.
The birds, which are trained at The Hawking Centre at Doddington, near Sittingbourne, protect landmarks and places of special interest throughout the south, including London.
Katie Kinnes, from Rentokil, said: “Hawking is becoming more and more popular and, with some areas being inaccessible, it is often the only way of resolving the nuisance.”
Liam Merrett, a supervisor at Pier Five and Kitchen, said it had proved quite a novelty see a falconer walking along the quayside with a hawk.
Mr Merrett said: “We are quite sheltered here and we have patio heaters, so our customers like to eat and drink out even in the winter months.
“It’s a nice setting looking out on to the marina.”
The regular presence of raptors alters the behaviour of pigeons and gulls, who learn to avoid areas where the birds of prey are frequently flown, moving on to nest or roost elsewhere.

Among the most famous images of London’s Trafalgar Square is one of people feeding pigeons in its grounds. And closer to home, feeding these birds was a favourite pastime on the weekends around the Vidhana Soudha, when people flocked to it for a bit of relaxation in its gardens. But no more, as the pigeons are now as numerous in most parts of the city as they were once around it.
Far from feeding them, people have now taken to shooing them away as they invade their balconies and kitchens, building nests and dirtying them with their poop and feathers. Their numbers have become their downfall as they are no longer priced as pets either. Instead they are the flying rats of urban Bengaluru.
Observes one fed up Bengalurean, industrialist, Narendra Kumar, “Pigeons have adapted so well to our urban civilisation that they are driving other birds away. Cleaning pigeon droppings has become a huge problem today. People in high- rise buildings are the worst affected and even the plants on the balconies suffer as a result of their invasion.”
But what’s worse, the pigeon droppings are not just an eyesore, but also a health hazard, warn wildlife experts. With the pigeon population growing, they have been spreading diseases like avian influenza and castle fever through their droppings, according to them. “ The pigeon droppings contain bacteria and fungus, which can cause major lung disorders that can be fatal,” they explain.
It is also claimed that those who fall sick as a result of the pigeon droppings, find recovery hard despite downing antibiotics, because of the strong infection they transmit. Bird lovers too admit to being on their guard when it comes to these birds because of the infections and diseases they transmit.
The BBMP , which has received numerous complaints from people about the pigeon menace, is now planning to hold a meeting with wildlife experts, bird lovers , health experts and concerned citizens to deal with it, says Mr Sarfaraz Khan, BBMP joint commissioner (health).
The civic agency is reportedly considering taking a cue from other countries, which have effectively dealt with the growing population of pigeons without harming the ecology and is also planning a study on their impact on humans, animals and other bird species.

One bedazzled pigeon will live to shine another day after getting lost last week.
The pigeon was wearing a flight suit with rhinestones when he was found on a woman’s back porch in Phoenix, Arizona. The bird was then taken to a local rescue called Fallen Feathers, which knew he had to have an owner because of his fancy suit.
It turned out the pigeon, named Olive, had flown out of Marlette Fernando’s car window a few days earlier.
The rescue started posting photos of the bird, while local news reporters tried to help locate his owner.
“I had a friend on Instagram send me a link to one of the news channels,” Fernando told KPHO. “He was freaking out. He was like, ‘You’re not going to believe this.’ Then I click on the link, I saw that Olive was pretty much everywhere online on [the] news.”
The bird is now back home.
