It's Charis not Chris but it usually takes folks a while to get it straight! I usually give them 3 months and if they don't have my name right by then...I give them 3 more.

I am excited to see the little guy again. I always think about him. I want him to be happy and out there flying.

You would think so, but I have noticed that feral pigeons guard their turf and drive strangers away. I always release squabs back to their own flocks in the hope they will be recognized as members. Sometimes I just never see them again, but many stay. I personally think the urban pigeon, as opposed to the city center pigeon, has better survival options, but I don't really know.
They also tend to be buddies in the box, but as they get bigger they start sorting themselves out for a pecking order and tend to bully the smaller ones. In a cage there is no way for the little ones to get away from them so it requires constant checking.

Well Solace,
Your Billie boy is getting quite big now and needs to move on. Give me a call or send me a PM on this board about a meeting. The same place where I picked him up? Sunday work for you? By the way, I will put a small yellow unmarked band on his leg so if you ever see him again you will be able to recognize him.

Well Solace released her Billy boy yesterday afternoon. After a few false starts he spotted the other members of his flock and joined right in.
Thank -you to Solis! As sajid says, If you help a bird he will pray for you.

I have been trying to spot Billy, but haven't been able to tell which he is. They stay on the top of the 3 story building so I can't see them very well. I look every day tho. I hope to try and post a picture of him soon.
It felt very good to see him go back up to his flock.
