Hi Folks,
Unusual one for ye.
Came home 3 days ago and discovered a pigeon (im guessing its a pigeon anyway...usual size, mainkly grey with a small patch of brown on breast),

anyway the pigeon was walking slowly around the garden. It's now been here for three days. Just mooching around very slowly. I can walk right up to it, and it just walks slowly away, doesnt get startled.

I've left out bread and water for it, not sure if its eating, cos there's a lot of regular birdie visitors (I've a big wild garden, they love it!!

Yesterday it wandered into the house and stood in a corner. It flapped a little when I picked it up and brought it outside, but not what I'd expect... you know the way a bird would go bananas if you tried picking it up.


Anyway, question is , what do you do with it. Not sure if it's injured or just ready to kick the bucket.

does it have a ring on its feet ? if yes then its a homing pigeon and has a home which details are on the ring....if no, its probably just your garden variety wild pigeon which would be nice with cranberry and stuffing (if yer into that);)

no ring. Seems very content wandering around, but my pup is beginning to get annoyed that it cant run wild around the garden!!
