Look who finally jumped over into the big cage! He's such a good boy I can't stand it. As soon as I took this pic, he jumped back into the crate. He must feel safer enclosed in there. Maybe he comes out to chill in the big cage when I'm not looking!

He is lovely, Frank. I'm glad things have worked out for him. Though I suspect you will miss him when he goes to his new home.

From your picture, he may like the smaller crate as a cozy, secure bedroom and the larger, more exposed crate for eating and exercise. You certainly have taken excellent care of this lucky bird!

No, this bird did not have a band. Sorry! Thanks for your generous offer. I just placed her in a new home today!

Great news today! "My" pij has arrived at her terrific new home in North Hollywood. Pigeon wrangler extraordinaire Samantha has graciously taken her into her pigeon enclosure. Sam identified the bird's breed as a King, probably a female based on the behavior of the other pigeons around her. She said the bird is not wild and was definitely raised in a pen somewhere which might explain it's behavior of 'moving into' my balcony & not flying away. Sam said this bird doesn't have the first idea about how to take care of itself and would not have survived long otherwise.

The pij seems very happy. She's by far the biggest in the bunch. She dove right in for a bath, and proceeded to march into the middle of the feed dish for a snack. She has gone mano-a-mano with a hawk and is not about to be intimidated by a bunch of smaller pigeons!

I'll miss the little thing, but she's definitely where she needs to be now. Sam invited us back to visit when the bird gets a mate. Thanks to everybody here on Pigeon Talk for your help. A happy ending for birds and humans alike!

Thanks for letting us know the happy ending.
