What a question!!! Of course I reported it. The owner had supposedly passed away and I talked to a chap who had taken it on. He said it might return if I fed it since it was in a bad way which I did, but it never went and seems to depend upon me. I have worked hard with these birds, trying to get them on their way and it has cost me in food. I have also been PM'ing one of the forum members and she would take it off my hands since she is close by. Unfortunately, I think she is on holiday.

I am near to Fareham Hampshire, off Junction 9 of the M27.

I will have to catch it again to find out. Not always easy.

I now have two birds in my garden: Recently GB08 L 04810 and a month ago GB07 L 49320. I am looking after them and may give them to one of your Forum Members who I have been chatting to. The former one is quite tame but the latter isn't very. I have called them Walter and Wilbur (not sure of their sex). I did catch the new one - accidentally in my home made trap, but I haven't anybody to give it to and I need to trap the other one so I let it go, but at least my trap worked. I hope I don't get any more - two is enough for me........and I get the neighbour's cat in and I have a resident blackbird!!!! Regards Spencer

ok that is a good idea - i will see if it will come down from its high perch sometime.

Just got home and thought - pigeon is gone. hurray!!! However, it is up on the garage roof looking at me. I don't think it is going to leave. I only fed it once to get its strength back but maybe it fancies staying. Don't know what to do.

Sorry, should have said - Fareham Hampshire. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Currently in my garden. Can't catch it hence can't get full number - doesn't seem well with watery droppings. Left water and grain but not interested. Can anybody help? I am not a pigeon expert by far.
