If you start to feed some feral pigeons in your garden (and you keep your pigeon on his own in the run and coop) he will see the other pigeons and start to hang around with them.
As they are flock birds he will start to fly off with them and learn where to find more food and water.
When he is at an age he wants to get a mate he will probably then pair up with a wild bird and go live the wild life.. nesting with the other feral pigeons.
That's what happened to my 2 rescued squabs.
The gradually spent more and more time away from home with their new pigeon friends. Eventually coming back only ever few days... then not at all.
