"Bobo" doesn't want to go homeA young banded homing pigeon arrived 2 weeks ago and has taken up residence in my greenhouse (the wooden part). His band says NPC 04 UTC 738 9. We can't find the owner (who probably doesn't want him anyway) since that number band was issued to a breeder but he gave it to "somebody". We live in Maine but will be leaving for the winter in mid-October. Nice bird, healthy, flies OK. What do we do with him? Our options include releasing him near a small flock in town and giving him to a neighbor to be used to train his pointer for hunting. I think that would be traumatic and don't want to do it. Can't locate any Maine pigeon people.

Thank you so much for letting the poor lost pigeon stay in your greenhouse.
Please, do not release the pigeon and do not it give for dog training. We have members who successfully can locate owners and clubs. They will offer you advice as soon as they see your post. Reti

Definitely do not release this pigeon to fend for itself. It sounds as if you have already done the research on the band and have come up empty. Is this some type of Tumbler pigeon .. just guessing that from the letters on the band?

Sorrento, up the coast about a 100 miles. Take Hwy 1 out of Ellsworth until you pass Sullivan (the middle one; there's an East Sullivan and a West Sullivan as well) and then go a half mile and turn south. I'll Fedex you the gas money.

Pidgey,
Don't you dare. Instead, just come to Maine and go with me to pick up the bird  If I can get an actual address, I'll look it up on mapquest, and go when it's convenient for the lady with the pigeon. Bird can stay here for ever.Daryl

I would love to have him here, but haven't heard any thing, other than the message that he has a new home, hopefully with someone who will be kind, provide proper care,and enjoy this new feathered friend.

All,
I just emailed and received a very quick response that, yes, she intends on giving the bird to our lovable and dear little Daryl. She has emailed Daryl but hasn't gotten a response yet. So everything's on track for a happy ending if only we can get 'em all communicating together. Pidgey
