Found Pigeon, what breed?

Thankyou for the comments guys

I'm getting really fond of my Pijjy. I think he might be a female . . . since hes been with me for some time and I havent observed any of the tell-tale male symptoms ; you know, the chest-puffing , strutting or cooing at sunrise and sunset. Viking my ex-fantail male used to do all that.

Charis : I tried that link , but it said something about the "domain" bieng blocked!? I've already bought anti-biotics. It doesnt look like Pox. . . I examine her every other day . . .and that bump is the same as ever, normal skin . . .like a mole type growth. No other "bumps" anywhere. Just that one.

warriec: I've thought about EXACTLY the same thing. . . why would somebody just let it go like that? Hopefully its perfectly fine and just managed to escape. I've kept a sharp eye out for sickness. . . but she seems perfectly fine . . . eating fine , poop looks normal , preens normal . . . still is a little thin but is eating well. Wish I'd weighed her to monitor her progress. . . I used to have her indoors, but have her outdoors now. I keep her away from my parrots and wash my hands before handling them. Also give her showers and plenty of sunlight to bask. But I was thinking, even if she IS sick (doesnt look it). . . I couldnt just let her go like that! I had silly thoughts about Bird Flu! So I'm gonna search that out to ease my mind.

TreesGray: I'll definitley try the garlic . . .and I'll see if I can find the Neem oil. Neem trees are quite common here , do u think boiling Neem leaves and using its concentrate would have the same effect?

I have more pix . . .will post them soon.

Could be she acidentially got out of her aviary and got lost. Maybe on her own for a while ane that is why she was so thin. She is really beautiful.

Hi Guys. . . I'm afraid I have a bit of bad news. . .

I keep checking the Pigeon for any signs of illness. . .also give him regilar baths and sunlight. Today, I was as usual checking his feet and feathers when I noticed MITES! I dont know why I didnt notice them before. . . anyway, I dont know whether they are mites, fleas or lice. But they are small, and reddish looking. I plan to get flea-powder as SOON as I can, there is a particular brand; "Coopex" which makes human anti-lice products as well. . . but a particular type mentions that it is safe to administer on birds. I've used it before on my ex-pigeons and it worked.

Remember the bump I told u about? Well, its the same as usual, but I was scraping off dried poop from his foot, when I noticed a reddish looking spot underneath a big flake of skin and poop. It seems a little raw. . . It cant be bumblefoot can it?!!??

I am new in this city, so dont know any vets. I've a asked a friend to tell me the name and adderess of the vet she takes her cats too. . . I hope she answers back quick. I think I should take it to the vet. I hope everything works out fine for the pigeon.

Just thought I'd let you know.
