I found a pigeon what should i do

[Pidgey]

Don't release that bird--they're not very good at surviving on their own nor are they any good at finding their way home from even so much as a quarter-mile away.

Let me check the NBRC group and see if there's someone close to you, first.

Thank you Pidgey for all the info! I just wanted to add that I would not release a roller especially at this time of year. This is a domestic bird. Rollers don't fly as fast as homers. Their rolling (backwards somersaults) attracts hawks, which presumably see them as an injured bird and therefore easy prey. Please do try to find him a home.

Here's one more you could try. Looks to be about 45 minutes from you. Good luck.

First let me say that I respect everyone's passion for a creature that they obviously love. I also appriciate all the advice and support everyone has given. I am hoping that I may be making some progress. I Finally got a call from someone that said they are going to stop by and pick up our new friend in the next few days. He has racers but knows of someone who has rollers. He said he will care for the bird until he finds an appropriate home. I will put a final post when we part ways.

Hi hfh,


Good work..!


There are a lot of special breeds of Pigeons, and not very many of them would do well as Wild Birds or Feral Birds, so...

This is definitely the best deal, for her to have a nice Pigeon-person who has a cool loft and Birds and a nice environment where she will be admired and can have a nice life...and even get to fly or whatever in safety of her fellows close to home.

Best wishes,

Thanks for helping her..!

Ok, this will be my last post. The saga come to and end. A nice older gentleman came to pick up the bird. He seemed more than happy to take the bird and give him a home with his other birds. Thank you all for everything.

Sounds good. Thank you again for helping this lost pigeon.
