Anant, whatever anyone says Do what your heart says! In the end KARMA wins! I appreciate your efforts! YOU sir are a good man!
 
Absolutely agree with Droidsuree.....Take that bird to hospital (looks like u must have already acted on it). Good job this man!! These days u will find people who are too busy to care about big things.....and u are showing ur concern for this small creature too. Really good to see some rays of hope that Humanity hasnt died out yet!!
 
Best thing is to take the bird to hospital

btw few tips

Basic Tips
If the breast bone is protruding, the plumage is poor and the bird seems weak, it may be malnourished. Such birds should, of course, be fed as soon as possible, preferably with smaller seeds as well as mixed corn, as these are easier to digest.

Dehydration may occur, especially in summer conditions. A suitable solution to give to a pigeon – held to the beak, not forced down the throat – is the following:-

1 tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoonful of salt

dissolved in one litre of water, offered frequently. “Flat” soft drinks may be used in an emergency.

Twine around the feet is often encountered. Sharp nail scissors can usually remove very loose twine and the birds can afterwards be released, but if there is skin damage, loss of toes etc, an antiseptic spray from any chemist should be applied and professional help sought. You may want to invest in a pair of suture scissors (click here for a supplier) that are ideally suited for effective, safe twine removal.

If signs of infection are present such as discharge or an offensive smell, on feet or around the beak and eyes, the pigeon will need antibiotics as soon as possible. Broken wings and legs are treatable – do not let anyone talk you into “putting down” such a bird. They will, however, require treatment by a sympathetic vet or Pigeon Recovery.

This dehydration thing reminded me 1 thing......I got a chain message on my cell that its summer time & Birds may die of dehydration, since temperatures at times are soaring too much.So, better have a Bowl of water or may be something that can give energy to them outside ur windows. it wont cost us much, but it will do a world of good for the small creatures.
 
Birds are weird?? LOL I think we humans are weird for them.
Most animals/birds trust each other (unless its their prey). But they dont immediately trust humans.

There are different breeds of bird and what I said, was just an effort to save that birds life.
 
hey...I saved the little one......I went and dropped him off at the Birds Hospital in Lal Mandir, Chandni chok....... happy ending for the little one 🙂

I am gonna call this little one Chris.....or christina if it was Female lol

I think the little one was really smart bird as my mom told me that it was sitting outside your door in the morning and also did his birdy business just one step below to make sure that I knw he/she ( I dont knw whether it a male or female lol ) was waiting fr me 🙂

Normally baby pigeon run away or try to fly away but this one kept sitting as I went near it 🙂 and when I was transporting it....chris was actually staring at me from the box hole right at my face......I mean chris could have been looking out from other holes also....lol....pretty smart bird.....glad to save him 😀

Just for general knowledge:

Baby pigeons when abt to learn to fly look like this: (though NO yellow but no white ring around beak)

Beak normally get white ring after they learn to fly. Since this one already has white ring on beak, it must have got injured.

@anant
really good JOB. You are really rock star.
BTW,certainly he is not the baby..The one which I had to deal with was like this:http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcROojPihELyIdky6_WP5OU9FhQDuVAb_Y3Sq2O9RIed_vgXI-zmVg&t=1

I remember I had the hard time. Whenever I came near to him his chest would expand with fear as if he is too scared of me. I left him as it is and prayed to god for his life. After some days he grew big and BINGO he was home.
 
Great news!! And good that people shared lots of their own info about Pigeons. Actually these are the most Innocent in the Birds' category that i have seen.At times when a dog is trying to prey on it, the dog just walks near it slowly, & picks it off - thats the height of innocence......
 
or on seeing a cat, the bird just closes it's eyes and assumes that no fear is around.
 
ya...this little one was destined to fly 🙂btw @samm sry I saw ur post late where u suggested to take him to Friendicoes could have tried their 1st if they would pick him from the house....chalo no problem nice to knw there is another bird hospital in the Delhi. I googled but only could find one in Chandni Chok where this little one is now 🙂
