I live in West sussex and there has been a ringed pigeon on our neighbours shed all day yesterday. Today it is in our garden - should I give it some wild bird seed and how can I contact its owner?
Many thanks for your advice. I have been able to call the owner and now the pigeon is safe with some food and water. The owner thinks it should make the journey home in a couple of days. So I will keep it safe until it is recovered.
if its on the shed try opening the shed door and let it walk in
put some seed on the floor in front of the door
once its down feeding walk upto the pigeon & it should walk through the door.

LOL So of course one thinks everyone has SEED incase a pigeon comes a calling. Knew a farmer that bought me a pigeon (Flown out) because he was at a loss what to feed it! then said that 'Pigeons were a nuisance and always eating his corn in the shed...

Sorry but given this is a non fancier, I think the owner should be sending for it, not leaving it for a few days.
