krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 one grey pigeon and one white pigeon sitting on the roof of my neighbour jimmys old house. he used to keep pigeons but now his house is empty, i think he may have passed away. the pigeons were relocated but i dont know where, and i am a little worried they cant find their way to their new home. anyone looking for them?
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 im afraid i dont know as i dont have them contained, and no-one will help unless i have them contained with ring numbers apparently. poor things are sitting huddled up on the roof, must be freezing.
b.massey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 I Live in Rosewell. You need hand to catch them??

Guest Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 is the old loft still there if it is open the door/trap and they should come in if not. if your next door and have a shed try to call them down by shaking an old tin with some peas in it if they come down throw some peas on the ground next to the open door then some in the shed
b.massey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Well I live 2 mins away and not the first time I have went pigeon stalking lol. Local church hall was the hot spot when I was younger. Caught anything with a ring
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 i wouldnt have a clue what to do with them im afraid, im not sure i would be of much use! i have a cat too. very kind of you though. im in lothian street and theyre on the roof of the empty bungalow behind mine in quarryfoot gardens if that infos of any use to you.
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 unfortunetley the council took his shed away and i dont have one. im afraid i probably wouldnt be much use catching them or knowing who to give them to, im a bit clueless about the whole thing! im a huge animal lover though so rather worried about the wee things. i think the address of the empty house is 1 quarryfoot gardens. it has a large garden backing onto mine, with trellis on the wall. if you would like to get them that would be fantastic!! and im sure the birds would be grateful
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 i hope i didnt sound too rude there! and thanks for all the replys, youre a friendly bunch.
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 if youd be willing to come and get them just let me know so i can rest easy lol
b.massey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Been down looking and cant see the birds. Mainly due to rain in face
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 argh you poor thing! its wild out there. i wasnt sure if you were coming or not or would have pointed them out to you (and tried to deflect rain from your face!)
b.massey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Cheers. I will pop in again tea time tomorro and see if I can see anything
naedoos Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Well done Brian, good of you to try and help them out
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 thanks. do you think they will be alright until then? i know theyre prob not used to being left out. i tried to coax them down but they just eyed me suspiciously. heres my number incase you need help finding them 6632393
b.massey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks. Yeah pigeons are more than capable than spending a few nights out. They will be fine.
b.massey Posted January 18, 2009 Report Posted January 18, 2009 Well done Brian, good of you to try and help them out Yeah cheers Dougie. Think there was a few suspicious neighbours wondering why a 24 year old lad was looking about roofs with torch lol. Suprised police never showed up
krankin Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Posted January 18, 2009 ah thats a relief that theyll be ok. thanks so much
krankin Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 pigeons were there again today, cant see them now though. they may still be lurking nearby somewhere but theyre not on the roof. hopefully theyve found their way home.
krankin Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 birds there for third day, wont come down to eat, obviously cold and confused, if anyone wants to collect them you would be more than welcome
rembrant2coo Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 I,ve lost two blue pied and dch pied with gb rings on them
krankin Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Posted January 20, 2009 im sorry i dont know what that means. theres one grey and one mostly white. theyre still there now, i dont think theyll last much longer unless someone comes for them tonight. can anyone help?
