Ok. I said this is a young bird and it is considered a young bird because it is from this year, but it looks like it has some age. I would say 6 or 7 months old. I honestly can't tell you how to find out who this bird belongs to. Because it is a foreign band, there's no telling where the band came from......could have come from Ebay for all we know.
Does the bird feel thin? Breast bone prominent? I'm assuming it's not offering to fly at all?

It is a race bird It may have been imported. Or it may have been on a ship. I remember seems like about a year or lees A bird was found that was from Enbgland I think And they think it may have been on a ship and ende up in the USA. Someone maybe near you may very well be wanting this bird back Or as said it may just have ended up here from Poland A person has to wonder.

definitely not a bird expert but would say breast bone is protruding... so he is thin... and I agree on the foot issue... foot with out a band (his left) seems to have scabs or growth and he might be missing a nail... If he is a stowaway... what do i do with him next???

Ok. I don't know if you are interested in keeping the bird? If not, let us know and we'll have to work on finding someone who will take it. There are probably a few racing clubs around you. Plus, we may have some members near you. Between those two options, we can figure something out I hope.

Ok. Here's what I came up with. The first link is in Weston, CT. They have volunteers listed that might be able to take the bird. You would need to call and ask them.
http://www.wildlifeincrisis.com/ This person isn't REAL close to you, but might know someone who is. Higganum, CT Emily Clark (860)345-8964 Permits: State (2003) RVS Species: small_mammals RVS birds reptiles_amph Comments: I am licensed for small_mammals non-migratory birds reptiles amphibians and RVS These are the racing clubs that are in your area. Whether you might get lucky and find out that the bird actually belongs to one of these clubs.....I don't know. If not, I don't know if any of the members will take it or not. You might also call your local SPCA, tell them what you have and ask if they have or know any rehabbers. Don't let them tell you to just turn the bird loose and it will go home. There is something wrong with the bird and I can't tell by looking at pictures what it is. Turning it loose would be a death sentence though. Please let us know if you have any luck with any of these contacts. I personally, would go with a rehabber first if you can find one. CCFR Central Ct.
