Guess Who's Back?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?HE'S BACK!!!! There was no sign of the hybrid that escaped yesterday for most of the day. I finally had to leave to run an errand and when I got back at four, he was sitting on the tent!!! I gave him a good spray from the hose but he flew to the neighbor's roof, then back to the tent. I set up about ten different traps with food but he just sat on the netting of the tent, looking so sadly in at all his buddies. Finally I said, to heck with it, and went into the tent and cut part of the netting aside and tacked it up. Then he proceeded to walk back and forth past the hole, over and over and over again! Talk about suspense. And finally, FINALLY he noticed the hole, stuck his head in, and then flew into the tent. I secured the hole and he jumped down to get some food and water. Everyone was glad to see him, I'm sure.
 And it was #2 hybrid. So those pigeon homing instincts are pretty strong, thank goodness he didn't rely on his dove instincts!! Thank you so much to everyone who has been thinking of him and praying for him to come home. I'm so excited. And he's in there telling them all about it, I'm sure.

Great news! Your solution was priceless in one way and just merely costly in another .. what a great pigeon Mom you are to "vandalize" your own pigeon tent in order to get this wayward bird back home!

Lol, yeah, I debated on vandalizing the tent but he just kept running back and forth over the netting trying to get in.
After I cut the hole, he ran next to it up and down for about fifteen minutes. Finally I went in and got the camera so I could record the absolute, er, bird-brainedness of this pigeon . The second I turned on the camera and started recording, he popped inside. So I even have it on tape hehe. My brother has my uploading cable and I don't venture into his room unless I have to , but I will upload it hopefully tonight so you can all witness the moment of triumph.
