Owner rang my wife today while I was at work (13 hr shift!) and on his advice my son took the bird over a fair few fields and let it out. Of course he's back this evening (both my son and the bird.............) roosting somewhere. I'll ring the owner again tomorrow to see if he'll pick the bird up, otherwise Mr Cheeseman's kind offer.............

Thanks for the messages - yes, this rather handsome pigeon has been fed and watered........we followed advice and fed him on day one, no feed for the next 3 days but he was still hanging around (bit of a mess on the patio.......!!), now he's caged he's had some uncooked rice and wild bird seed. I'll give the owner another ring tomorrow (J Foran of Dundee). None of Cemetary's birds are currently in my garden, but I'll keep a look-out!! Its dark out there now, mind...! Whose Clocky??e

Thanks Tammy - owner might be away...............

SU 08 DF 118 has been in my garden in Gateshead for 5 days now. Cat not bothered but I've managed to catch it and it is now residing in my garage in the cat's box. The Scottish Union sent me the owner's name and I've left messages on his answerphone. How long should I keep it for? Are lost birds any good, as they are clearly not up to the job? Any suggestions? Reluctant pigeon keeper.
