Do you have an update? The picture was so dark on my device that it didn't even register with me that this poor little one is a pigeon (until i saw other's comments). Since that is the case, it will be best to seek alternatives for advice and care among the communities of pigeon enthusiasts. The very best is pigeons.bizThat board / forum is populated with many people who care for pigeons 24/7. They are very knowledgeable and very responsive. Post pictures, describe symptoms and ask for their diagnosis and advice.

Also well networked and knowledgeable are these two groups:

Wild pigeon rescue & Rehab 

Help Group for Pigeon Rescue, Rehab & Adoption

Yeah, wildlife rehabs here don't give 2 fucks about feral pigeons, he's doing alright in every fashion except the apparent spine injury and I have experience with rescuing pigeons. Am seeking advice from at least 1 professional over on the pigeon subreddit

Here's a somewhat amusing image of him sitting like a person before I sorted him out a towel donut to support him properly
