Anyone know what this bird is (see attached) and why it's just sitting on my driveway all this morning??

It looks like it could be a racing pigeon as it has a tag on its foot.

I had one fly into my house before and I rang the number on the tag. The owner was from the north and said he was probably having a rest and might fly back afterwards. The pigeon hung around for a couple of days.

Is there water available? Maybe put some out for it.

Maybe it likes the smell of clover from your grass?

Thanks for the replies. I thought it was injured as it let me get really close. I didn't want my cat catching it, tried to pick it up, and it just flew off. All's well that ends well.

Beautiful bird.

Update. Discovered the bird splattered on the road not far from our house, we are all very disappointed here. Wish I had been able to grab it earlier.
