• Hi
• I picked up an injured pigeon with the characters nehu 2013 on the pink ring. There's a blue ring which I can't make out the figures.
• I fed and gave water to it since Friday but its injured on a leg and can't walk - though appears ok otherwise.Do I take it to a vet and who owns it?
• I'm sorry not to contact you sooner but my daughter is in hospital and I've been incredibly busy trying to work and do hospital trips etc.
• I hope you can help.
• Regards
• Jo Grevette

finder was given Darlington fed sec number ,because its there bird .hopefully then they should have taken upon themselves to arrange collection. Lindsay , could you find a local club to her , and maybe pass the details on ?? I don't have any GB lists to give help.

Hi Lindsay

 

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to reply. This has been a very frustrating experience - and very time consuming.

The full number is NEHU 2013; DAR xxxx.

 

However, after posting messages on various pigeon sites yesterday, I tried ( yet again) to ring the Darlington secretary and spoke to his wife who took details and said her husband would likely look up the owner and give them my phone number.

Last night, I had a phone call whilst out - no message left so I rang the person back on the mobile. He answered but didn't speak even when I kept saying 'hello'. I cut the call and sent a text. No reply. I rang the same mobile this morning, early, and spoke to a man who is the owner and told him the details. He wanted to know if I knew someone local that I could take it to. I'm afraid I was very angry. Pigeon racing is not my hobby but his, and I've cared for this poor creature since Friday and spent quite some time on the internet and phone trying to locate some responsibility for this bird and am now expected to deliver this bird somewhere else. (I take it that because it can't walk - think its leg may be broken, but is otherwise eating etc and bright, it isn't of use to its owner anymore ? And yet the public are encouraged to take the time to care for and report these birds). The man arranged to ring me at lunchtime to sort out something for the bird and as I'm typing this email to you, he rang and has actually arranged to collect the bird tomorrow. I guess it'll be 'dispatched' at some point.

 

But to get back to this reply, I'm really very grateful to you for your response.

 

And I'll never pick up an injured racing pigeon again.

 

Kind regards

Jo.

Hi Jo,First all I must say I am sorry the you have had this sort of trouble trying to do someone a good turn.Please do not tar every pigeon fancier with the same brush,there's always a rotten apple in every barrel and it looks as though you might have found one.Like all walks of life some people are grateful and some don't give a toss,once again sorry for the bad experience,I have tried to help.

Pleased you finally got it sorted.

well done Lindsay your a gent , and the owner , well I couldn't type what I think of him

[blucock]

It's quite simple really - the woman should wrote to the NEHU with the fancier's name and details of the bird. No wonder the public perception is that of the idiots on the PETA videos

Would say the woman could not have done any more

than she did,not "simple"when you know how,she never so well done Lady.

[blucock]

Am not saying she id or didn't - she did the right thing all the way through - what I did say was yet another fancier making us look like a bunch of mugs and nothing done. The authorities should seek this fancier and "have a word"
