i found a pigeon and it cant fly but im not sure wuts wrong

[pidgers]

earlier to day a found a pigeon wuts big and white an dive done research and i think its a homing pigeon. it has a tag around each ankle and cant seem to fly. It looks healthy and its doesnt look like it has any injuries and im thinking someone could have gotten its wings clipped. Its not really drinking and im gonna go buy food soon once my mom gets home. im just wondering where he came from if you have any ideas and how i can take care of him. thanks!

If you still have the birds body, can you please check the band again and make sure you gave ALL the letters and numbers? I expect who ever owns this bird would like to know what happened to it, even though it's dead. I'm almost sure there's some information missing because there is no year and most band, even if they aren't traceable have a year.

[pidgers]

you were right i did miss a part of the band. the correct band is:

HA 977 FS 9 07

Here's the information that I found. I really have no idea if these people still run this company or what. I do know that another bird with a similiar band to your found bird has been found in Knoxville, TN. But the bird that was found that I knew about was in Canada.........so whether there's two different groups in CA and the US using the letters FS, I have no idea. Since the bird has died, I don't know that I would go to LARGE extremes to pursue this, but that's up to you.
