Found Pigeon

[saltcityboy]

Before I describe the bird I have found, I would like to provide a little constructive criticism.
A few days ago I recovered a distressed homing pigeon in our front yard. Having no idea of what to do, my stepdad and I searched the internet for information. We easily found care instructions and, being animal lovers, were enthusiastic about caring for the bird and taking steps to locate the owner.
After several hours of searches and questions, we found that there is no easy way to report a recovered bird. After dozens of emails, several phone calls, and a message to the owner, we have received only ONE email from a concerned gentleman (not the owner).
Out of concern for the pigeon, my stepdad and I have spent much more time and effort on this than many other people will consider doing.
Now I have gone through the registration process to access this board, which I will most likely never use again.
I am sure that not many people report found homing pigeons. For those who might, I am suggesting there be an easily accessible site with a simple form that someone who is completely ignorant of the homing pigeon sport can use to inform the owner.
If you've read all of this, thank you.
The bird I found is very young and was quite hungry and distressed. He/she was easily picked up, and is now resting comfortably and has been given water and mixed grains. It has a green band reading...
IF 2005 WMP 6631
He/she is here at Pondview Farm in Jenningsville, Pennsylvania.
Please email my stepdad at...
pondviewfarm@yahoo.com
or call on
(570) 833-5642.
I would appreciate it if someone would be willing to contact the owner and find out if they would like the bird back. We DO NOT want a reward. We are just concerned about the bird.
Thank you for reading this long message.
