I don't let any pigeon outside my loft that can't fly, even my YBs. IMO they have to be able to get themselves out of trouble, whether it's a cat, crow or hawk that's trying to have them.

 

A spell inside a protective 'viewing' cage which allows them to go through trap - then freedom when you think the time is right. 3 months seems fine, and this bird has already been on the loft roof for 20 minutes, and came back in, so pick a quiet spell well before feeding time, open the trap, then stand well back outside the loft and watch.

as you dont need to have this burd flying out it will do no harm in your loft but if your not bothered about losing it let it out
