I would advise seeking out a vet that would carry out an autopsy on a pigeon that you've lost through this. It could possibly be a combination of things e.g. e-coli x streptococci, one disease infecting then another taking advantage of the weakened state of the pigeon. Hope you get it sorted.

If my memory serves me right you also posted something along these lines last year (lame wing, negative test result for paratyphoid). My guess is that its a bacterial problem and like Paratyphoid & Streptococci it works its way into the wing butt joints. I don’t know if its possible but could a vet take samples of tissue in and around an effected wing joint and grow cultures to identify the problem? This is the road I’d go down if a vet could do such a thing.

A lorry driver mate of mine makes deliveries in the Brighton area most Fridays, perhaps we can sort something out between us and save on carriage.

Congratulations Mr & Mrs Tooshy Boy.

If flying under RPRA rules a Fed can ban an individual. Didn't think this was so but I was wrong PART H: DISCIPLINE AND DISPUTES Disciplinary Proceedings 70.
