Found a pigeon just yesterday

Hi anna,

Thank you for the update.

I'm so glad the bird is doing well on his own, but also glad you are there for him to depend on for a meal.

I'm glad you are one of those people that stops and picks up injured bird and help it. It makes a big difference to the world ( to those of us who see clearly), and also to the little pigeon you rescued!

Hello Anna,

I am happy that your family taught you well by taking care of hurt birds. Now you can carry on the family tradition. That is good.

I am glad that the pigeon comes back to visit. As long as you provide drink and food he will very likely keep coming back.

Thank you for your kind words about Tooter. I am pleased that you enjoyed the pictures. Yes, he is very much part of my family.

Today my pigeon came back with another pigeon. Maybe its his girlfriend. They have been eating the food i left for him outside. I am so happy that he found a friend.

[Trees Gray]

That is wonderful! It sounds like he is adjusting well to his outdoor life, and bringing friends home for a meal. He will be the most popular pigeon in his flock.

Thanks for the update!

There is another thing that is interarsting, outside of my window is another apartments' wall and its pretty close to my window. I can see the roof over the stairs and it is lower than the main roof. Before i went to sleep two nights ago i looked on that roof and i'v seen my pigeon with his friend on that roof sleeping. So every night before i go to sleep and every morning that i wake up i can see them there. I think its great that i can see them and know that he is fine, but it could be better if he could come back and stay inside for the night. Soon it will get cooler and i'm worried that he can get sick again.

Anna,

If you want him inside at night, coax him inside with food, and don't offer him any food until he comes in. The hunger will bring him in. That is how we train our homing pigeons. It might work, but if he is used to his old routine it might take time, I certainly wouldn't want to starve him.

Hi Trees Gray,

Thank you for the recommendation. That is a good idea to try, but I’m scared it would not work out. The second pigeon that comes with him is very scared. Even when I go and look at them through window the second pigeon flies of immediately and mine after it. They are very hungry though, they it everything I put out for them.

Thank you for continuing to feed & water them, they will need you to keep feeding them for a while, especially with winter coming. Who knows, maybe they will eventually come inside if it gets cold enough.

It is good the pigeon is scared, as that keeps her protected from harm, it is a great instinct needed for survival, but I bet they are glad you are feeding them, they might be having a hard time finding food.

Trees Gray,

I am trying to buy a house right now. I am worried that when I will move, it will be hard on pigeons with food. I know it gets colder. It is been hailing already. If I move, is there any way they could find out where I am at?

Thank you,

[Trees Gray]

Hi anna,

No, I'm afraid they won't find you, unless you take them with you. Maybe you can build them a little coop at your new house?

....or...Is there any way you can come back and feed them everyday?

[anna]

Trees Gray,

No, there is no way i could come back. But i'll try to catch him.

Thank you for the answer.

A fledgling is a youngster just learning how to fly. He is like a teenager learning how to drive, they still need the parents but act and look like they are all grown up.
