FoxesFan4Ever Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 Hi there, This hasn't happened to me before but I just found a stranger in my loft. Number is GB 08 X02448 It doesnt have a phone ring and I didn't want to stress it by looking for a wing stamp but later when they are perched I will look unless it can be placed before then.. It seemed very thirsty but has drunk a fair bit that I have seen. Main concern is it seems a bit like it's drunk. Might just be exhausted but it was flying into the walls a bit. Anyway it is welcome to have houseroom as long as it needs and if someone could advise on the next step I would be grateful Thanks

FoxesFan4Ever Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 Updated profile now but I am in Lincolnshire. I can't really keep it isolated as I only have the 1 loft/shed and anyway its mixed with them now so damage would be done if there was any. It looks healthy enough now anyway but just in case I wouldn't want a strange bird in my house where I would take the chance with my own if that makes sense. Thanks for the replies
pjc Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 sure you can find a box/ rabbit hutch etc. Then dissinfect your drinkers etc to prevent potential spread of anything nasty!

FoxesFan4Ever Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 Hi Numpty No it isn't a light cheq and I would have more success in naming it than finding out what sex it is sorry.

Guest numpty01 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Posted May 27, 2009 that no has been on here before im sure it has ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
FoxesFan4Ever Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 Second look showed a phone ring which must have been under the other ring. Shows a Leicester number I think. Have phoned and guy willphone back tomorrow but there is no race ring so it's a long way from home for a training flight isn't it? I am approx 65 miles from Leicester (less as the pigeon flies though)
FoxesFan4Ever Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 Oh and I have put it in a basket and moved it from loft..just in case although I still think if there is to be damage done its too late. Will know next time so thanks all for the advice.
FoxesFan4Ever Posted May 27, 2009 Author Report Posted May 27, 2009 I gotta start putting more effort into this. After a quick google it seems its a Kings Lynn area bird...much closer to me so makes more sense. Hopefully will get it home tomorrow.
