Hi! crzytrkr here they look like some nice pigeons! i think all birds should have bands, having said that if you are not gonna race or breed for profit yes! but if you just wanna have fun with a few birds and you have seen these birds with out bands and had a chance to hold and feel the birds...
well if it where me i would set them loose hungry, but when feeding always shake a can of seed or gravel this tells them feeding time and when you want them to come back too the coop shake the heck outa that can! It works!.....
My heart goes out to you I live in South Jersey we had a lot of rain this year so far and trying to keep the loft dry is very important I lost a very healthy bird one day and dead the next. I keep a small flock so if I lose one or two birds it's a great deal, I couldent amagine your lose! What I...
I used a small dog caged for ten days for two squabs I tried too let them out on the seventh day but they got picked on so i put them back. Now ive let them loose and although they might get a peck here or there by the cock birds but they are learning there place in the pecking order its been...
Great!!! Good for you! Now finding it's owner any luck? With that? Thanks to the net or you could once you fill the bird is healthy enough you could take it for a ride away from your home and release it, and it will do what they do and fly home!
Good luck!!

It seems from what you read of the band her original place of origin is Great Britain and the 18 could be the year the bird hatched and the fact the bird is begging for food to me means she was hand feed I would keep the bird warm feed and water with Apple cider vinegar well help with...
I think the hen will do the job as far as brooding goes, I would make water and food, grit available to her. the hen might have a problem when they hatched as far as the feeding goes once they get to fledgling you can moved them too the bottom of the coop where the other birds would help with...
I was wondering if you watch t.v. in said room at night ? I would try making the room black if not the room then the cage. Your Dove might see light and shadows from the t.v. if you make it black I think this might help. GL!!!

I'm sure if you search the net. Yull find if there was a race recently, and the band's might give you more info. On the net. Whom might be looking for said bird. As for it not looking too good I would get a type of heat to like a heating pad or lamp good luck!!

I lost my signal sorry it might be awkward at first, but I'm sure the Dove will be fine. But I'm sure you know your bigger problem is what vermin took the leg! And how did it get too the Dove? If it's stump starts to bleed again place the place or site in corn starch or flour it will stop the...
I have a juicer to put garlic in the water twice a week and if it rains a couple of days in the week I use the vinegar it seems to work and coffee gets the wheels going for me!! Ha! Ha!!!
