Pigeon Stuck on 376
I drove through the Squirrel Hill tunnel twice today heading into the city. Right when you exit the tunnel on the right, near the sewage grate, there is a pigeon — I first saw them at 11am and then again just now at 3pm. I don’t think they’re able to fly away. May be exhausted, disoriented / in trouble…
Not sure who I can call. Can anyone help?

Call the humane animal rescue wildlife Center. 412-345-7300 extension 500 for orphaned or injured birds.

They're not going to stop the tunnels for that

Sure they would, if they thought it was becoming a distraction to drivers that would be more than a valid reason.
I doubt they'd do it in the middle of rush hour though.
