Pigeon Bulletin Board?

Me too! Everytime we're out and about if I see any I always look to see what there is. I was on the beach in the summer and a stray landed near me, it had bands on both legs. It flew off though so I'm hoping it got to where it was going. And there is alot of really nice colours out there.

It seems like feral flocks have a large percentage of racing homer in the genes as this breed goes astray and is more equipped to survive as a feral than the fancier varieties.

I don’t think I ever paid much attention to feral pigeons before I got into them. I was at Rural King last week, leaving and drove past a small flock in the parking lot. I was shocked to see an almost all white one! I wanted to try to catch it.

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF MY RUNAWAYS. only 581 miles. Able to make that in 10 hours.

I’ll look for it next time I go, and tell it to go home!

I saw on monday a pure white feral, a solid brown that has lived there (under a bridge) for 3 months now, its a cock bird because i see it dancing/circling on the power lines. I cant convince a driver to go catch them with me!

Oh and under another bridge there are two with white flights!

This is just wild! Today i saw a piole of white feathers in our woods and i wondered if it was a pigeon but i hadnt lost a pure white in a long time. But then i got to thinking, there are no pure white wild birds around here except for the RARE albino whatever. So i went back out and found the feathers and was looking for a band and sure enough, a plastic red peice that had been chewed on by i dont know what. It was a pigeon! so that means unless it was lost, a feral, on a toss, or during a race(whick is unlikely due to the non seamless band) there is another pigeon keeper around here. (Most likely right in our area)!

There has to be millions of feral here. I see them everywhere everyday.
The ones that live at my beach seem to be the easiest to catch. They walk right up to you.

A non- seamless band? Your logic is persuasive. Good luck with your search for the loft!

That’s cool!

It was one of those snap on ones that are plastic. Sadly it was just red so i dought that i will be able to find the loft.
