oddy

thanks david...have started to read the kitchen thread!

Ha, you could be right about getting the bug....'he' is gorgeous! I live in Ruislip Middlesex

Thanks for answering. I wouldn't be racing it if I kept it....it would become a pet. I have a very large shed I could keep him in during the colder weather and also can build accommodation for him in there too. Would he be happy just with human company or would he need a partner....oooh...then not sure how to sex him....will look at kitchen thread. cheers

Hi,Would be grateful for any help/advice you folks can give me. I rescued a racing pigeon from the grounds of my work place. It didn't seem to be able to fly more than a few yards. I called the Royal pigeon asoc and after a week of calls to the owner, it appears the owner isn't interested. They keep making excuses as to why they can't come and told me to let it go....even though I explained he can't fly far. The bird has no obvious damage, is eating and drinking and apart from some lice I discovered today (well I think it's lice) he seems fine. I do have quite a large area at the end of my garden where it could live...it's already well wired off, just requires a wire top. Will it be happy living a llife in a large aviary? What kind of housing would I need to build to meet his needs and what other things do I need to know? I have two indoor parrots but am a complete novice with pigeons!
