Still alive and kicking, as seen in this video, filmed by my mate this morning.
(Has now been around for over a week, seemingly not bothered by the nail in his fucking head.)

But it bothers it's VERY unlikey that it got there by accident...

fired from a Paslode nailgun.
So it's unlikely to be an accident.
I haven't personally tried contacting the RSPCA as it's in my friend's garden - not mine. This also means that I haven't actually seen it in the flesh / feathers.
I hope that it's merely suffering from a delusional identity disorder and is masquerading as a unicorn.

I don't think nail guns are particularly known for their accuracy considering that they don't have a barrel or anything to stabilise the nail post firing. Also, they aren't hugely powerful over a large distance.
Saying that, I don't know how it would have happened otherwise...I think I'm just convincing myself that a person wouldn't ever consider firing a nail into a bird's head.

But have you tried contacting the RSPCA? If this is what appears to be animal cruelty, then they would be very interested (and they may be able to catch the pigeon and help him/her out).

...and no doubt they also have an RSPCA lab where they can match the nail to a nailgun using CSI style ballistics.

But the RSPCA will be interested to note all cases of animal cruelty. Even though the chances are they won't find the scrote that did this to the pigeon, the fact that there exists a case of cruelty means that it should be recorded. Otherwise it just gets hidden away.

...wasn't taking the piss out of your suggestion. I was just entertaining myself imagining a CSI style RSPCA investigative team.

he should be on the news. I doubt his interview would be very good, but it might raise awareness to stop bastard cunts who are cruel to pidggies.

Pigeons have small iron particles in their heads which help them navigate, this is a natural enhancement along the lines of a digital tv upgrade.
