Racing Pigeon/feral

[PAPA B]

Back in April i homed two racing pigeons 1 homed no bother and the other 1 never came back.So after a few days you thinks its been hawked.Today i was picking up my grandaughter from school and right next to the School theres a few feral pigeons sitting on the house where the owner just loves feeding the birds.I always have a close inspection to see if they have any rings.Lo and behold theres my racing pigeon living the life of down and out in Beverly hills 5 mins walk from its loft.The yellow clip ring that i put on both of them and the racing ring on the other leg.The most annoying thing is this: the one that did home is its brother, and thats the doo that made it back on Saturday from Otterburn.

 

Wheres Ace Ventura when i need one.

Mate I dropped a blue cock once out the second race (his nest mate was 1st club in the first race) from 100 or so miles..

 

Two days later was standing at the cash machine in the Main Street, probably 500 yards as the doo flys from my loft, and here is this big stupid blue cock walking about the town centre with the streety doos.. Could not believe..!!!

 

Tried to put the boot in it... Missed.. Folk must have thought I was mad..!!

Omg thats shocking; deffo where some are going. i kinda thought that raised in a loft food on a platter and all that stuff they would not survive in the wild,but there must be loads that are also living the life of a Feral.

Ones that make it back to the loft months and sometimes years later must also be doing the same.

Because one has raced well, doesn't mean the nestmate will. I was always told to work with the ones in the loft and forget the others.

Thats a good way of looking at it,no point bothering about it now.
