Hello there, I am new to the forum. I work at a vet clinic and animal control brought us a white pigeon with blue splashes on the back. It has a yellow band with no writing on it. I don't know if this is a wild pigeon or someones pet. It seems very tired so we have given fluids and feeding and now its sleeping. I don't know much about pigeon breeds but is there one that has blue on it? It doesn't have any fancy feathering or posture that the show ones seem to have. Does a yellow band mean anything to anyone? I will post pictures tomorrow. Thanks!

If it has a band on the leg, it belongs to somebody.
Possibly a wedding release bird that got lost and tired. Thank you for helping this bird!
And yes, a picture would be helpful. Also, where you are located? (in case there is a "wedding/funeral release" loft near you)

What are your plans for the bird?

cromulo - sometimes pigeons are marked for in-flight identification.

What a beautiful pigeon! If you can't find where it belongs and need a forever home in Virginia let me know. My dad is looking for a few more for his outdoor flight. =)

This bird definitly look slike a high flyer and I may even know who it belongs to. Mr Shokohi's birds (in DC) have the same blue markings take a look at his birds with the blue markings http://www.geocities.com/blueskyspigeon/SHOKOHI-ALBUM.html

 

[kaftardoost]

the bird is from his area and I think he should be contacted before the bird finds a new home. let me know if you need his contact information. thanks

looks like an iranian or pakistani high flyer as I had the exact same colouring pigeons not long ago. And the way the blue colour looks on the pigeon it sure looks like it belongs to the person you said

Hi Cromubo, The bird you have pictured here is a white grizzle (color) the light blue color that you see is a color dye that some people use to id birds in their flying kits, the bird is a high flyer of some type. The web site that was posted if its your area may well be where this bird came from GEORGE

Thanks for all the replys everyone! I sent a PM to Kaftardoost re: Mr. Shokohis. If its his bird then I can get it back to him easily! I also posted a message on the National Pigeon Registry so if it isn't claimed I will be finding it a new home. I'll let you all know. Thanks!
