Another AGSG pigeon found in West MichiganAbout a week ago Walter (as my sister named him) showed up and moved into my barn. Appears to be healthy; he will let me get close enough to read his band but will not let me touch him. I would have no problem with him staying but I have four marauding assassins (barn cats) and I don't want him to end up as a cat toy. He looks similar to the bird in the previous Michigan thread but has a white tail. I would gladly try to catch him and transport him if anyone is interested in rescuing him. I am between Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo.

PLEASE do catch the bird. Pigeons will eat wild bird seed, whole corn, or anything in a pigeon mix. You cn keep them temporarily in a dog or cat carrier, even a rabbit cage...with some modifications.

I spoke with the hubby and he said "no" on this one. I think it's too much, too soon for him. I may be able to help with future birds, but no more until I get the loft made up. He doesn't want a flock of pigeons in the house.
Maybe the other person would be willing to help? |

I will try to attach a picture of Walter. I have confined him in the indoor arena (where he had been spending his nights) for his own protection and his food and water is in a dog crate. He will come very close to me so I think I will be able to trap him in the crate soon. Any luck finding someone who is willing to adopt him?

What a pretty pigeon. I'm glad Walter is safe.

Both the boys are doing well, Joe has already learned to go back into the cage to eat. Walter's right behind him.
I'll post picts soon. |

It's funny how things work out. Joe was the "dominant" one when Walter came along. Now after Molting, Walter has done a big turn around, he pushed Joe off the perch and won't allow him near the food, water or perch. Walter gets real agressive with Joe (who is now being fed/watered from floor level). I'll be seperating them to night when I get home.
