Found - I now have the number

[karenf]

This pigeon has been in my garden since Tuesdayish...I now have the number which is GBD02812

 

I haven't managed to contain it but he's quite happy on the roof and having a wander where I can't get at it!

Theres still 2 numbers missing (after the GB) this will tell you the year

Hiya Karen if you get another chance to look at the ring you will find another 2 digits between the GB and the D, this will give us the year the bird was bred and a better chance of identifing the owner.

 

Weel done for looking after him or her, if you treat it well you may just have to build a loft to keep it in lol.

Hahaha....I am fascinated by all this...but my very efficient cat would have a field day! This pigeon is very lucky and seems to be catwise as it staying well out of reach..unfortunately that's out of reach of me too!

I now have the full number, there is 08 after the GB. I have just received a reply from my original thread giving me the club secretary's number of Darlaston where the pigeon is thought to originate from.

Thank you all for your jhelp.
