The pigeon was so lively today and eager to get out that I took it to the garden, it was a perfect day sun shining , so I opened the box. He sat there for a minute or two and then flew up to the roof top. He sat there for a good 20 minuets getting his bearings and then flew off in to the sky looking as though he new where he was going. I left some food out for him and kept an eye out all day but he seems to have gone now. I only hope he makes it home safe. At least he knows where to come for food this time. Thanks for being so nice, and thanks for all the advice. I am one of those's people who never turns any creature away if it needs help . Have saved a magpie and a jackdaw this summer as well as the pigeon
