Just thought I'd pop in and share that I'm incubating 2 pigeon eggs. It sure seems that you did an awesome job raising them @LauraMunro !

This defiantly has helped me prepare for them! Thanks!

@backyard pigeons Thats awesome!! how are the eggs doing?
My pigeo has gone missing he has been gone for 2 weeks now and we are absolutely devasted! Just isnt the same without him! We are keeping positive though and hoping he will return to us

So sorry for your loss! Fingers crossed he maybe found a mate?

Well darn! I'm so sorry Laura.

Ugh. Maybe you can nurse it back to health and have a new buddy.

I did the same when I had a duck fly away (he returned an hour or so later). People probably think you've lost a dog. Don't worry about them anyway.

Im sorry. This is such a worry fot you now. I have a couple of birds missing and I still hold hope they will return. I know some people on here have had birds return from vast distances after quite some time. How did he get lost? Had he been flying with the others?

Thank you @WVduckchick ! I will defo need to check out your pigeons i know i shouldnt bother hah my pigeo comes first!

Thank you @CCUK , yeah maybe one day he'll surprise us! Yes he fit right into the flock that lives around me, you wouldnt know he was tame from how he flew about and interacted with them. He would go in and out the window as he pleased but would always be back for it getting dark. The day he went missing he flew on to my head and i was about to shut the window as it was just getting dark but all the feral ones outside got a fright and flew off and he flew off too! Usually he would come straight back or at least the next day
