There has been a pigeon in my apatment complex in Carmichael, CA (near Sacramento) for about a week. He looks like the usual type of pigeon with his green irredescent head, light gray body and dark points on the wings and tail. It's band is a bright green but the bird will not let me close enough to read it. I worry about the bird because we have several cat's in our complex and I don't want the bird harmed. Any help finding the owner is appreciated.

Thank you for your concern over this bird, he definitely needs to be caught as he belongs to someone and he is lost, and is definitely vulnerable to predators.
