i called the Feuerwehr they said they wont come for a pigeon, i called an animal help Verein they told me to post in Taubennotfallmeldung i posted in all the ones i could find, (theyre private so i mwntioned it in the application), i called Wildvogelstation des Nabu & i could only leave a voicemail so i did. I talked to the reception in my building (its a private student dorm) and they said they will send the tenant an email. I knocked and ranged the doorbell but no one answered its possible no one is home. i dont know what the neighbour can do when the glass walls are so high and im afraid poking at the net with a broom could make things worse. This is in 13355 but this area can only be entered by those with keys

Edit: Someone in one of the Pigeon groups called the Feuerwehr and told me they are on their way. The pigeon is not moving anymore so i dont know what will come of it now. Thank you to everyone who tried to help. Someone told me these nets are a Tierschutz violation so i will try talking to my neighbor to get them taken down and if that doesnt work I will report it to the police

EDIT2: GUYS FHE PIGEON HAS BEEN RESCUED!!!! ITS ALIVE AND FREE

Hi, I'll be in Berlin for the next 2 months and I'm looking for a gym buddy/gym buddies, preferably also recommendations on women-only gyms

Local residents need to walk around the entire park at night to get home, but at least now drug dealers and users are outside the gates and on our doorsteps rather than in the park. Definitely worth taking millions from social services to pay for this.

If you don't have a DeutschlandTicket but you have a BahnCard 25 or 50 (excl. Youth BahnCard) you can buy reduced fare tickets from Deutsche Bahn / VBB for Berlin AB. They are called "Regionaltarif bis 25 km". Note: BC25/50 does not allow you to buy reduced (ermäßigte) BVG tickets!

All you need to do is to go to Deutsche Bahn (website / app / ticket machine) and purchase a ticket from your starting destination to any village just outside of Berlin C involving Regional Express (RE). Examples: Dabendorf, Nassenheide, Trebbin, Bestensee, Kremmen. I recommend you check the Regional transport map from VBB. Just make sure that it's not too far away from Berlin AB and DB shows the correct 25 km rate.

Also: these tickets are - except for AB, where you can go around wherever - for direct routes only. So if you want to go into C you have to choose a station outside of C where your actual destination is en-route. So, if you for example want to go to Königs Wusterhausen (which is in C) you have to select Bestensee as destination.

It was not my intention to spread panic. I do not believe this will be the next pandemic.

I do think there is risk of accidental spread. And so I think it is worth discussing on what basis Germany takes such risks. R0 is 1.5-2. The patient's asymptomatic but exposed family was also flown to Germany and is under "mandatory isolation". I don't know how or if this is actually enforced.

There are no therapeutics for this strain, so medical treatment is basically relegated to dumping fluids into the patient and regulating blood pressure. Fatality rate is 50%. The US is 5 hours further direct flight time than Germany.

The US has withdrawn from the WHO, killed USAID, threatened to pull US troops, has pulled support from Ukraine, and has aggressively antagonized EU allies. I question why Germany would take any risk at all considering the hostile turn. 

If your answer is "empathy", I applaud that. But I also ask why this empathy is selectively extended to this person. There are reportedly >500 others in the DRC that have been infected.
