racing pigeon prob

[hilly 6]

My old chap has got a ringed pigeon just go into his garage and its very weak and cant fly. He has given me the ring number off its leg, any ideas what I can do? He said its very tame and very hungry.

Can you keep it safe - my mam knows a bloke with racing pigeons & he gave me number for place to ring. You give them ring number & they can trace owner.

The one we found in garden had hit power lines & was well off course. The bloke was chuffed to bits to get him back.

Some one on here may keep them as well & get back to you quicker than me.

It could be a young bird as its wrong weather for them to get confused & lost.

The bird is safe and had water and food.

If you put the ring number up it'll be easy enough to track down the club secretary of the guy who owns it.

Also put down some water and bread for it if you can as it will be needing a drink as well as something too eat.

I was going to put the number up but I thought that was the only way to id the bird and anyone can lay a claim to it if you get my meaning.

I keep racers mate catch it and see if has got a stamp on its wing you do this by opening its wing out the stamp should be on the primary flites the stamp should have owners name and phone number, if there is no stamp you can phone up the rpra and find out who it belongs to by giving them the ring number. Just make sure it has a drink and some corn or see to eat mate in the mean time

First thing was look at the wing a cant find anything going to look on sites now to find a way to report it.

Thanks for the help people, help when helps needed just what a good forum should be like.

number rung and reported on web site but closed weekends so should hear from them Mon - Tues.

Thank you all.

The only reason i said put up it's ring number was because i knew the rpra would be closed and thought that once we had the ring number someone would be able to phone and find who it belonged to and hopefully get it collected quicker.

[hilly 6]

Ok I wasnt to sure what to do and just thought that was the only way of me telling who the bird would belong to.( if I got hold of the owner he could tell me the number).

I keep and race pigeons too` It is the start of the youngster training, So sound like he not ready yet and still need more training. On the ring it will tell you the age of the bird!!!!

 

Good luck anyway.

Looking at the ring GB 07 so guess that would be the age??
