as a pigeon fancier yourself i find this comment disgusting , any bird other than your own is someones property it may have made a mistake but not very gentlemanly to treat all birds like this that enter your loft , just because you had problems with one bird been reported your willing to decree every stray bird that enters your loft , some fanciers actualy want there birds back , i find your comments distastefull , i take stray birds from my area back north to liberate near there home i sometimes go collect strays from non fanciers and keep them till better i call this sportmans ship look how many fancy birds also get reported on here by racing fanciers , we do this as we know most people worth there salt would do this , as its hard enough with having B.O.P and wires to contend with as well as the likes that destroy because they entered there lofts , heres an idea we all can do keep a smallish rabbit hut for stays feed water take away from loft release if comes back then report it
