Lost White pigeon


I have a missing male white homer. I lost him in central Florida in Palm Bay. He has a white NPA band and a blue marker band on his opposite leg. If anyone sees him please let me know.

Did you post this to pigeon 911? It is a yahoo group for reuniting lost pigeons with their owners, or finding new homes for lost and un-returnable birds.

How long ago was the last time you saw the little guy? I've taken some of my homers off before...and for some reason....(I'm guessing loft stress from the sudden increase of hawk/raccoon visits)...it took them a week before everyone was back. You'll want to report to Pigeon 911 of course, but I just figured I'd give you some hope of him returning on his own

I'll post it on 911 PA .. hopefully someone will find and report the bird. Please PM me the e-mail address to use for you as well as your name and phone #. I need that info for 911 PA, but it won't display to anyone other than the moderators there.

Do you have any of the band numbers? We can at least put them in as lost.

Glad at least one is back.
I told a lady from the Palm Beach Wildlife center to look out too.

If I remember correctly, I believe members who fly their birds NEVER let out ones who have babies...

If I am incorrect, please let me know...

Thanks

Shi

I sure hope your birds come back, Grim!

Shi.........you are incorrect because you used the word NEVER........
However you are CORRECT in believing that birds with youngsters should not be flown. It isn't worth the risk as far as I'm concerned. I tried that one time and that was the last time. I was actually only trying to get my birds to trap into a new loft and being new at all of this, thought that because they had babies they would trap right in. WRONG!! I walked around with 4 babies wrapped up in my sweat shirt while the Ma's and Pa's hung around outside in the cold. Never again.

I'm glad to hear one of your birds returned.

In the future, please keep a record of your bands. We can't ever tell where a bird will turn up because they can fly, so your birds may be vacationing in Alabama, Georgia or where ever and we'd not be able to match them (the lost reports) with a "found" report.

Which of your birds returned, btw and did you ever pm Terry w/your contact info?
