This bird flew into my bedroom on Weds been feeding and watering it but doesnt seem to want to move on its been coming back eachday ether sitting on the roof or coming in through the window, it seems healthy enough so today i have caught it and put it in a pet carrier, cant see a phone number  on the wings.

 

I am not a keeper and will report it via the http://www.rpra.org but if the owner is on here its waiting for you

Thanks for taking the time to catch this bird and reunite it with it's owner. If the owner isn't on here, there might be someone who is that lives near you and can collect it. keep checking back.

No contact made yet, found a number on the on Rpra ring list called but just voice mail, left one yesturday, had nothing back direct from the Rpra reporting site yet though

 

 

If nobody claims him/her anyone fancy giving it a home?, it seems a nice

bird, shame to just let it go wild.

Yeah spoke to the RPRA today they say they have sent a letter to the owner,

I tried to call again but still just voicemail, not sure how long to keep hold of

the bird for maybe the guy isnt there anymore, its only 20ish away miles from

where its registred (whitworth in Rochdale) and has got lost mid race as it has a black band on the other leg.

 

Tempted to go up on a hill in the direction of rochdale and just set it free, isnt the owner

likely to just kill it anyway if I gave it him back.

Would doubt the owner would kill the bird mate, im sure they would be glad to see the bird again and yo kmnow of where it has been. Did thr r.p.r.a not give you a phone number for the owner? did you tell them you dont keep pigeons, and had no where to house the bird? they should contact owner straight away, Is there anyone near you that you have seen pigeons at?

thanks for being so helpful, im sure the bird and owner would appreciate, by the way, if the bird can fly and appears healthy i.e not to thin, it should make its way home if you take it away from your house, if it comes back you will have to get a shed, and we can sort you out with a few more to go with it :-) :-)

Anyway will give it a few more days its got its own room anyway  ;D

have had it out of the basket today for a hr , so it could strecth its wings

and have a little fly about the room, at the moment its just eating a general wild

bird seed, should i go get it somthing else higher quality and how about grit or somthing  :-/

 

I have found a little club in my town http://www.pigeonsglossop.co.uk/ so might send them a email or call them in next few days if still no contact from Mr Chapman.

 

Thanks for your help everyone  

[pigeonpete]

wild bird will be fine for a few days, he wont eat it if he dont like it :-) and if you can get a little grit that would be great, but dont go out of your way he will be o.k for a few days. hope you get it sorted ;-)

Spoke to the club chairman today, says the bird was his and had a few

young off it before he gave it a mate who wanted a few birds, says he thinks its

escaped but cant get hold of the guy who owned it at the moment, anyway he's picking it up

Saturday morning.

 

I asked has it not got lost Mid race then as its got a black band on it aswell

said didnt think so that was probs just a marker onit, was hoping to know a little

more about it but well there you go.

Oliver as a pigeon fancier I would like to say many thanks for your perseverance and for looking after this bird.

[OliverG]

Thanks Albear, its been fun and interesting really to learn a little more about

these birds normaly the only contact I have had with Pigeons are the wild sort

who chase you for your Gregs Pasty crumbs  ;D

 

Allowed it to have a bath today didnt need much encouragement to get in the water

had a real good splash about, never really noticed how clean these birds like to

keep themselfs.
