A LOT of rice is not good, but a little is ok. And, just dry rice is fine. Depends on what kind of beans. Also depends on what he's used to eating. Is it drinking any water? IF this is a young bird, he's main problem is most likely that he's just starving. Of course, other things could cause him not to be able to fly much, but when they get super hungry, they loose all their energy. After we know what the band says, we can make a better guess as to what might be going on with him.

What year is on the band? Sounds like this might be an older racer as opposed to a young one.

Well, there are pigeons that are real sweethearts but more often than not, when a stranger picks one up they're not generally too happy about it unless they're REALLY tame.

What does that mean "he's calling his people"? Is he pretty close by and either coming over to get the bird or sending someone else to pick it up?

Well, for The Meaning of Life, you might want to go to another forum...

I expect that this bird is a racer, but I could be wrong about that. There are a few different kinds of pigeons like racers (that they take miles away and race them back to their home loft), rollers (that fly in a "kit", or group, up above their home loft and perform acrobatics just for fun), tumblers (that do much the same thing except in a reverse roll to the rollers), fancies (show pigeons, of which there are many different kinds too numerous to list) and ferals (wild ones that mostly come from lost birds of the other kinds).

There are many different kinds of discussions here but some of the more active members (active on the forum, people who type a lot and just won't shut up, like me) are rehabbers who don't care what kind of pigeon it is, we'll try to help it if it's lost, hurt or sick. Or, more to the point, we'll try to help you help the bird under the circumstances.

And thanks so much for helping this one, by the way! You MUST be a good soul! That's why he came to you--they can detect that kind of thing, you know.

The man came to pick up his pigeon, said he lost him on a training thingy-says he comes from a good bloodline, and he is in fact a 'racer'...he spoke to me for almost 45 minutes about his pigeons!! lol I have learned A LOT! Thanks again for all your help, it was a good thing i guess that i found the pigeon, who knows what woulda happened otherwise! Yall take care!
