mate thats maybee down to the fancier not want to pay a courier [none of us dooo] but there is other ways to retrieve a lost bird the best ive found is pigeon basics members everywere and if they are not close by they will go out there way to help obviously the bird you reported does not want to be returned [cant blame the bird] anyway good luck whatever happens mate personaly i would take the bird as far as possible from my loft and realease it i know thats not nice as another fancier will probably get it in and have to go through the same as youreself either that or rieleve the bird of its useless owner
