Hi I just wanted to say thanks for the advice about the lost pigeon that we have had for the last few days. We have just gave it to a Pigeon rescuer who said it was a she and it was a fancy roller?? Thanks again
Hi, I read your post about helping the pigeon and wanted to say well done, so many would ignore a relatively common species of bird but glad you didn't, I think pigeons are such beautiful birds if people took the time to examine their iridescent plumage, I rescued a young woodpigeon who absolutely hated me at first and I kept it in a cage while it grew then all of a sudden it imprinted on me and would make a whistling noise when I entered the garage, I had an avery then so I decided to let it join the rest of the residents until it was time to free it which I thought would be in the month or two but ended up being 2 years! It would sit on my shoulders, preen my hair and then one day in spring I thought in all fairness it deserved a shot at life outside of the confines of my garden so it I took it to a local park where birds were often fed throughout the year by visiting walkers and off it went and I'm sure I saw it a few times because when I walked there there was a a pigeon that would kind of hang around even when the other pigeons had flown into the trees and I hope that it paired up and went onto enjoy its freedom!
