Thanks Lee, nice to meet you too. I have already been mooching on T'Interweb for dovecots! Let me know how Birdy goes on - I am rather fond of her! Kirst

Thanks to all who posted back to me. Birdy ( as I named her!) has now been collected. I have grown rather fond of her! Now I'm off to clean up my loo!!! K

I am near Beacon Fell.

Good stuff! I was worried that I was doing the wrong thing by feeding but the poor thing seemed shattered and the weather up here on the fell had been so horrible. I hope to hear from someone who owns it soon. I am so glad that I mooched on the T'Interweb and found this site! Thnaks for all your help everyone - will keep you posted! Thanks again!

Hello! Bird is fine and I don't mind the mess! I would rather have mess and a safe bird than no mess with no animal! I am in Lancashire. Full code from the ring is SU09 M2205. Hope that helps! I have fed grain and water - the bird was very, very thirsty and has drunk loads! It is very happy up on the shelf and has rested. It is nesting in my towels. We had the most horrendous stormy weather for a few hours before the bird walked into the kitchen so I think it had battled before landing with me.

Jst looked again at the ring and it is M 2205. Hope that helps!

Oh thank you all! The bird is so friendly and has followed me around the kitchen this afternoon but it makes its way back into the loo and onto the shelf as it must feel safe there. I have given it a choice of bird foods ( grains) as I put a lot out in my garden and it has eaten the lot. I have been checking on it and it is fine but still obviously tired. I will give it some honey in the water. Thank you all for your help - I will look again at the ring in the morning and keep you posted. Many thanks - I hope my pal finds its owner soon! Kirst

Help! I was eating breakfast this morning and a beautiful pigeon walked into my kitchen and collapsed. It was absolutely shattered and made its way into a corner to sleep. I have moved it into my downstairs loo and fed and watered it and it is quite happily sleeping. I have left the window open all day to let it fly if it wants but it is still shattered and asleep on the shelf in the loo. As I live way out in the fields and it would not get off the floor I am reluctant to put it out at night as it may get attacked so I am leaving it on the shelf where it seems very happy. It has two rings - one green on its left ankle and a red one on its right ankle with SU09 and a number ( I think 2055). It is a beautiful bird - pale beige and white with pale purple breast feathers. I will check the number again in the morning - I hope someone owns the bird as it is beautiful and I would hate anything to happen to it. Please let me know if you can help me! Many thanks!
