Oh this bird I almost forgot about him. Maybe I should release my birds with him? Perhaps he will follow them?

You could also put a hen in the trap I was talking about and let him go inside and bam there goes the door. I don't have any time to do the trapping but the release I could.

Would you? They might get a real kick out of seeing all the white birds, too! Maybe he will follow them.

I just talked to Jan and she said they pretty much have adopted him as their mascot and of late haven't even tried to catch him. I think the bird has adopted them too, from everyone I have talked to. He is getting into a routine and seems to know the drill. She says when people come and go he steps aside and then moves back. He has adapted himself to them.

Anyway, I'm going to go see for myself. I just don't be looked upon as the bad person here, trying to take him away from what they think, that he is "living the life of Reilly". I've explained all the facts about domestic birds, living in the wild, even my husband agrees with them, maybe he is happy and content, I shall see.
Hi Treesa,

Do they know he actually belongs to someone else, someone who wants him back? I would understand if that were the only life he could have. Maybe they think they've adopted a homeless bird. He's not homeless. He has a family. Any day now a hawk could swoop in there and grab it. I'm surprised it's survived this long.

I don't want to yank their chains because I only have room for a hen right now. What do you think? Do you think he's safe there?

Daniel

I have my 3 trained whites and the rescue could go to. She has bonded to the flock and no longer disappears. She sticks with the 3 perfectly. If he is a male I don't see why he wouldn't want to pursue considering we are getting into spring and he is single.

I think this is an excellent idea. If nothing else, it may demonstrate to the management where this bird really belongs.

Daniel,

Of course they know he belongs to someone, he has a band doesn't he?

Perhaps you should call her again, and let them know.

I've already told them about the hawks, you have to see the set up... the bird lives between two buildings, where it is unusually busy during daylight hours-with traffic, human and vehicles. It is also blocked from wind, and visibility from sky.

Grim, I think you ought to try the training toss.
