She is beautiful, Great job on catching her. At least keep her for the winter months, and then if you still don't want her, then post on her that she is up for adoption. But they make great pets, and I know you have a big heart or you wouldn't have wanted to bring her in, in the first place so I'm sure you'll make the right decision. Please keep us posted. Is she eating and drinking? I love happy endings. mindy

I really would like someone to take this pigeon. I know I can't keep it caged long and if I take it a long ways away she will probably come back. I can't find anyone in our area who will take her. I do not have the time to care for her properly. I want the bird to live and there has to be someone who wants her.

I have no plan "B".

Please hang on to her for the time being. We will find someone...I just don't know who yet. With winter coming on, she won't live long if you release her. I have sent Jay3 some leads to work on so give us some days...please.

If someone near your area can not be found to take the bird would you be willing to be mailed a shipping box and money to ship? someone may really be willing to do that if no one can be found to take her near you, which should be the first option. lets see what jay3 comes up with first before we take that route though. also do you have a small crock to put her feed in? and I assume she has water too....

I would be glad to ship her...My cat got out of the house for just a minute and I found her in the garage on top the cage. Nothing happened, but the pigeon was sure upset. I put a blanket over part of her cage and she seem to calm down.
I will put her food in a dish and I have her water in a cup.
I keep the garage heated also.
I will also have to keep my cat in.
Thanks a lot for your help.

I have a list of rehabbers to call tomorrow, as I got in later than expected. If they can't help, they may know somebody who can. I'm trying to cover all those in the western part of the state, or somewhat near to you. I'll try. Just hang in there.

You people are great....I can see how you get attached to now. I was mowing my lawn this afternoon and I missed her watching me from the roof. I hope she can get back to someone that loves pigeons.
