my name is eric, i am a veterinary technician at orchard park veterinary medical center in orchard park, new york.
a good samaritan brought in a stray pigeon that does have a band on its right leg.
it reads as follows:
98
AU
ARPU

it is healthy other than a mild conjuctivitis in one eye. if anyone knows anything about how we can trace its owner please let me know as soon as possible.
thank you very much

Hi Eric,

Thanks to you and a good samaritan for looking after this lost pigeon. I have found the owner of the bird. His name is Michael and his number ***-***-****. Let us know if you get in touch with him and if he is eager to have his bird back.


Thanks again!,
