Show Pigeons/Strange BandHello I'm an Animal Control Officer who has 2 Show Pigeons in my custody (Massachusetts). One is a Fantail and the other is what I was told is a "Giant", He's a big white and beautiful bird. He/she has a band on his leg but no one has been able to tell me yet where this band is from.... Does anyone have any ideas?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi Skisbabe98,
And welcome to Pigeon Talk. Thanks for posting on this board about these lost pigeons in your posession. Here are some links for tracking bands: http://npausa.com/found_pigeon.htm http://www.pigeon.org/lostbirdinfo.htm http://www.ifpigeon.com/ You might want to bookmark for future reference as I'm not sure they'd be of much help in the case of show pigeons. Some bands come from the pigeon supply houses and as Lovebirds suggest, it would be helpful to post the numbers here so that members can see the information and point you in the right direction. Another group you may want to post with is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/911PigeonAlert/ Best of luck in finding the owner, fp

If they end up needing homes, let me know. Plenty of room here.
Daryl I can even drive down to pick up.

Thank you for contacting us so the owner hopefully can be located. We appreciate you caring for them for now.
Do you mean IPB?.... anyway if you did... That is a Foys Pigeon supplies band, I believe, I e-mailed them, lets see if they can locate the owner. Foys pigeon supplies has a distributor that sells ID bands. The "01" probably stands for 2001, the year the bird hatched.

Older Foy's Bands ..As Treesa posted this is likely an IPB (Independent Pigeon Breeder) aka Foy's band for the year 2001. Due to the change in ownership of Foy's several years back, the records of the older bands are no longer available. I suspect that 2001 is old enough not to be traceable. I'm sure Foy's will advise Treesa of this should that be the case.

I rather doubt that they made it too far away from home, given the types of pigeon that they are. It may be possible that their owner is easy to trace as a matter of limited possibilities in your area. That is, if you tell us your city, it might be that there are only two such breeders in that city so calling around wouldn't be a problem.

Skisbabe98,
Can you check the band again, for more numbers and letters? Vickie, from Foys got back to me and said they need everything on the band, numbers and letters. Thanks.

Well as of right now, nothing has come up for these 2 birds. I called the information that was given but have heard nothing back. I want to thank everyone for their help and input, it was greatly appreciated.

They will be most welcome here if they need to be rehomed. As a matter of fact, I just got home from New York, 306 miles one way, to rescue 3 pigeons. I am very tired and really "saddle sore" but ready and willing to hit the road again if these birds need a home.

I say, Daryl, you are going to be the Mother Teresa of birddom yet! I'll have to call you "Mother Pigeon" (no wonder you chose Pigeonmamma as your 'handle'!)
 What kind of pigeons did you rescue and what is their story??? I sure hope you hear about those other 2 birds!
