The pigeon appeared to be stuck, as it desperately flapped its wings in an apparent attempt to fly away.

Unfortunately, many vehicles whizzed past the poor animal, likely making it harder for the pigeon to fly.

From the video, it seemed like the bird couldn’t move the lower part of its body at all.
