My new friend Leroy...Found this little guy around the property. He's been here a couple days now. He's sorta followed me around a little. I tried feeding him some bread, but I've since read they might not be use to eating that. I also gave him some water, but I'm not sure if he's drank any.
I think I need some help getting him back to where he should be. He's tagged on each leg...   He's let me get pretty close but does not want me to get right up to him. I know I'm going to have to get a better look at his tags to see if that tells us anything. Also, he can fly, so his flight feathers are intact. I have a little experience with birds (quaker parrot). But I am unsure how to go about handling/catching Leroy. So if anyone can give me some feedback and maybe help me get Leroy home I'd really appreciate. He's cool and all, but he's not in a safe place. Lots of cars and lots of hawks. By the way, I'm in southeast Indiana. About 25 miles from Downtown Cincinnati though.

Yep... you can catch him with a towel... usually if its dark they cant see you coming... so shut off all the lights. He may just let you pick him right up.... Then YEP- put him in the cat carrier. After you catch him, let us know here on the thread and we will see how we can help you out.

O K Folks--allproock asked for help getting the bird home--Now he is questioning me-Sorry I just thought I had info that might help him locate the owner.
Maybe someone else can give him more info I only raced pigeons for 31 years--so guess I am just a dumb 73 y/o

I think between me and my girl we can catch him and find out exactly what his tags read. I'll report back tomorrow with my progress.

That is how I read that too.... ((( meaning you were just inquiring..not questioning)) NO hard feelings mate. You are doing a GREAT thing trying to help the bird.
The bands do give us information that can tell what club the owner of the bird flys with and the year band in which ithe bird is born... At any rate... please do try and catch him/her.... That has to happen first...
