Thank you =]. I don't feel like I'm doing anything special. It just feels like I'm doing what I should...and I couldn't do it without people like you!

Well, I'm sorry about the pictures. But I have some other news.
This man in our town has pigeon hatches/coops/houses so we went over to tell him about the pigeon. He said he could take it, take care of it, see if anything was wrong, and then get it to its owner. So today, a few hours ago, we brought her over(he told us it was a girl) to his house. He looked her over (with a lot of year's experience) and knew how to check everything. He said she was fine, just really hungry! He said she was a racing bird (as was suggested) and checking the number on the tag said "An old one too!" Anyway, so he said he would feed her (since we hadn't really been giving the right thing..but it was still food a pigeon could eat) and thanked us a lot for bringing her over and saving her. He explained that she was probably on a 200-400 mile race (Wow!) and got either hungry or dehydrated, so flew down to look for(probably in our case, water) and couldn't find any so was wandering around (when we found her). He mentioned that happened a lot to racing birds and the owners are thankful to people like us. He ended it by saying a few times we could check back in 2-3 weeks to see how she was doing, which I was happy about of course, and I will do that! =]. He was really nice and talkative altogether, and we were really happy that this bird fell into experienced hands! It was sad(to see her go), but a lot better then how we, unexperiencedly, were caring for her. Thank you so much everyone here! You all were such a great help! I'm glad this pigeon story ended happily=]. Thank you again!

Hi!!
Sorry to butt in right at the end of the conversation but I just thought I'd post my experience of lost birds as it might be helpful to someone in the future (or probably not!! Lol). I've only been in my house since mid december and have had several stray racing pigeons stop by and visit, three in the last two months. The first two were hanging around the garden so I put water and seed on a table, they had some food, hung around for a week and then carried on their way. They must of been stopping for a rest as they looked healthy and flew off fine and there was no way they'd let me catch them! The latest bird turned up in my shed with my birds. She looked healthy but I caught her up and gave her a check over anyway. Other than being a bit thin, she was fine. I also noticed she had a phone number ring on so I rang the guy and this bird had flown over from Le Mans in france (I'm on the Isle of Wight, UK) and she had to get back to Kent. I told the guy I'd release her in the morning after she'd had a good feed. Which I did, but evening time, she came back again! This continued for a week and a half! I was starting to think she'd adopted me  But eventually one evening she didn't come back. The guy rang to say she'd turned up at home safe and well. I think, unless a bird looks really ill, it's best just to give it some seed and water and then give it a chance to carry on its journey. The ones that have stopped off here so far have all carried on no problems after having a snack and a drink. Luckily, so far I haven't encountered an ill one and hope I won't!!Hope that helps someone one day!
