Bird Lover Too

Bruno1, Thanks for your two messages. Since I could not find any ID, I found the American Racing Pigeon Union, http://www.Pigeon.org, and checked out their "find a club near you". I hope that they might have received information on a missing pigeon and we will be able to return it to it's home. I am not sure that I'm using this site to the best advantage -- am not familiar with doing this, but everyone has been very helpful. We are enjoying the bird but unfortunately are not in a position to commit to taking care of it for the long term.

Thanks, Chatters. We found two orange bands on the left leg -- nothing printed on them; On the right leg there was a red band with either the number 90 or 06. All bands seemed to be make of plastic material. There were no markings on the wings. Hope this helps. We have not been able to contain the pigeon, but it stay on lamp post. It's now 10:40 EDT in Hillsborough, North Carolina, USA

Where can I report a pigeon who found refuge on our covered front porch during this cold rain/wind? Said pigeon has a band on it's leg, is very comfortable around us, is eating the sunflower seeds we put out for it and has taken a perch on our porch lamp. We do not know anyone in our Hillsborough NC area who has Racing Pigeons.
