Advice Needed Please

We believe we have a racing pigeon in our garden.It has a green GB08 leg ring,a yellow number leg ring which reads 043..... & red lettering on it's wing,which looks like pearson.

What should we do?

We have been feeding it bird seed.

it is a young bird if you know the full ring number we could let you know ware its from and on the wing thay should be a phone number but as it is only coming for food thay is not much you can do unless you can catch it

I have a serious problem I have lived in my Aberdeenshire Council House for nearly two years now with my husband and two little boys and have had racing pigeons for all this time but due to an ignorant persons complaint the council now want our sheds down and pigeons gone. My husband and I race our pigeons together and love this hobby our pigeons are very dear to us. We need help we do not want o have to get rid of them we are not the only people who have racing pigeons in our street and I'm sure not the only people who have racing pigeons and live in a council house. They don't bother anyone and are always clean and well looked after. Help!!

R Lindsay, prob best to start another thread so we can help the above non fancier and yourself.

 

AdeKem, you need to catch the bird and keep it confined so that the owner can arange for return of the bird. When you catch it let us know the ring number and we can hopefully give you a contact but when you catch it if you open the wing you may find a telephone number of the owner for you to ring.

When you have cought the bird please keep it somewhere safe with food and water away from cat, dogs etc.

Thanks Phil.

What would be the easiest & safest way to catch it?

 

[pjc]

if you can use a little corn or rice you maybe able to feed it into a shed or somewhere you ca shut it in and then pick it up from there.

[AdeKem]

I think the number is 2810 on the green leg ring.

 

[REDCHEQHEN]

There should be a letter also

 

EG:

 

GB08X12345

[pjc]

on the green ring it will say GB08 followed by a letter and then a 5 digit number, we need all of it please to tell you where its from

 

Phil

[AdeKem]

Thanks.

I'll try & get the full info.

[AdeKem]

Not caught but number is......GB 08 X 28108

 

Hope this helps.

He or the owner will pick it up from you there, if not I know fanciers in Crendon and Haddenham that can help but you may need to catch it.

I have contacted the owner.

But as you say,unless I can catch it there is no point him coming over.

 

[pjc]

The owner won't be more than 10/15mins away from you and may even bring you a bit of corn to call the birds down and help to catch it.

He said...." He'd have no better chance than me at catching it"

Hopefully I can get it to go into my shed with a seed trail.

Update

 

Fed & waterd said pigeon daily.

Did not see it at all yesyerday & not seen today either.

Hopefully all is good with it,myself and the wife had become quite attached to it.

Thanks for all your help & advice.

You've done a damned good job feeding and watering it, and if the owner has any sense (and your contact details) it'd be nice if he could confirm that it's returned home.

 

Either way, well done, and thanks for helping it on its way :-)

there has to be evidence of proof or they are breaching your right to keep pigeons see your area union offical councilors / local mp or local press to sort it out for you , the more doors you knock the better your case
