OH DEAR

[globalgirl]

Well guys its not my week.  Blackie had just made his bid for freedom.  He had been quite unsettled since I put him in his new loft.  As you know my old birds dont go out any more.  I was putting some fresh water in and he freaked out flying back and forth and then flew against the inside door which I had shut to and out through the main door.

 

I'm absolutely gutted and am hoping he will come back but he's not been out in a very long time.  My stepdad is coming over to see if he can open the trap door on the old shed but its nearly falling apart.

 

Any suggestions as to what I can do guys.  I'm very angry with myself and just hope no nasty predator gets him

Hi There, i dont know where you got Blackie from , but he may have gone back there.

Dos he have a ring number you can post on here so members can be on the look out for him.

 

   hope you find him ..................amanda

I dont know either. They were my grandads pigeons.  He did have a ring on but I dont know what the number is he would never sit still long enough for me to read it.  I just got this horrible feeling he aint coming back  :'(

[globalgirl]

If anybody does find a stray he's very big and quite unsociable.  Very dark blue/black in colour and quite old.  I know thats probably not gonna help much.  I'm in the Epsom, Surrey area.

im really sorry for you mate.

the only other thing i suggest is if you can find out your grandads old loft number, contact the rpra and they might be able to tell you what birds he owned.

 

but if i were you i would make sure you get all there numbers now just in case this happens again,.......amanda

 

oh i dont know if your grandad had any pedigrees with his birds, but it might be worth a look. or you could try his mates at his club , they might be able to help, you never know it could have been a bird that one of the bred for him.

 

hope this helps

Thanks guys.  My mum had told me that Blackie got out once before as he used to be paired up with Polly.  They both went out one day.  Blackie came back but Polly didnt.  Sods law I gotta go away tonight and I cant get leve cos its bloomin half term but my mum is gonna come over tomorra and i've opened the trap so he can get back in the old loft now.  I'm so glad I didn't pull it down.  

 

I'll keep you posted when I get back xx

i dont think leaving the trap open is a good idea, as there may be cats around ??) ??) ??) ??)

if he comes back tonight, a night on the tiles wont hert him lol

if he used to go out and his old loft is still there i'm sure he will return to it.

When he was spoofed it may have unsettled him but when he calms down and gets hungry, all being well will return.
