NEHU 2006 BOR2053

[found a pigeon]

Found a bird last night - has a red ring with BOR2053 NEHU 2006 on it and a plain blue ring on the same leg.  On the other leg it has a white ring with 0948 on it.

 

As you can tell I know nothing about pigeons!

 

Any advice on finding the owner would be gratefully appreciated.

OK thanks- do they operate on bank holidays?

[tippler1]

dont think so you can look on the wing as well see if thay is a phone num on it

on the wing - good grief that seems a bit advanced!  I've only just managed to hold him to take the number down lol !!!  Is there a technique for holding him calmly - he walked onto my finger last night but now realises he is with an ameteur and has lost confidence in me handling him.  I know your spposed to hold the wings against the body - saw it on the telly!! but how do you do that when its flapping! Is the number on either wing and am I looking for a tag or just marker pen?  I'm sorry, I must sound ridiculous.

its a border fed ring - which means the bird is from Northumberland /Berwick area and was probably at the Lillers race on Saturday

you don't soound ridiculous at all - and its not easy to do - it took me months !!

 

Hold the bird close to your body with one hand - and extend the wing with the other hand

 

repeat for both wings

 

wingstamping however for the NEHU is not compulsory

the border fed has a new sec his name is graham johnson   tel  01289 382832

Thnak you - I've phoned him this morning, so fingers crossed the owner will want him back.  We are a long way away - what happens if the owner doesn't want to travel to collect - Northumberland is a considerable distance from Wales - he'd have to be a very special bird I would think!

[shotgun tim]

the owner has to send for the bird by a firm called amtrack,if he doesnt get in touch or mucks you about he can get in a fair bit of trouble

[found a pigeon]

Oh I see - I didn't realise owners were obliged to collect their birds by the rules.
