have got loads of strays back to there owners, and yes some with some great hassle! i used to catch strays in the town, most were grateful to know there whereabouts, i even took a couple back to their owners myself, then the last straw came end of last year, i phoned this guy up from wales, told him i have got a 2 year old pigeon of yours here, blah blah, he said what do you want me to do with it? if it cant get home on its own i dont want it its been gone 3 months, now he didnt know i was a pigeon fancier or not! he said kill it, then hung up on me!! well.. i tried phoning him back, but never answered the phone, so i reported exactly what had happend to the rpra! saying i was a non fancier and had picked it up in the town, they were very helpful, so dont know what happend to him! but was there any need for the attitude he gave me? i dont even report pigeons now that come in my loft with no stamp on! they go straight back out! grrr some people. i would love to know the whereabouts of some of my birds, they are stamped and have phone number ring on!
