Oh dang, I hope it turns up one place or the other!

My pigeon actually showed up at home today. My wife sent me a text that when they got home from school they could see the pigeon walking around. It had been gone since saturday afternoon. They actually thought another one got out because they assumed the other was gone. After some coaxing with some food it jumped back in the loft. Everyone is home safe and sound. Won't be doing that again.

Yay! That is a good sign that your birds are liking their home and the care you are giving them, ... probably they especially like Elizabeth!
Most of us have had a bird go missing 2-3 days and return, but they were homeset to the loft, not new birds like yours. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Your pigeon returning is a GOOD THING,,,,,, I would not hesitate releasing that one. She learned where home is. Next time release her separately from mate. (keep mate in loft and see how soon she returns.

Well, no call or email back from. NPA.
I can’t find a basket to put him in so maybe tomorrow I will get a picture of him standing.

Those are the clearest illustration of the 'correct' way to hold a pigeon that I have seen! In the 2nd one with the pigeon's chest barely touching the owner seems to relax the birds. In the first pic, you can take your other hand and cup the chest whilst holding the beak between your fingers to pose the head and show off eyes and face.

Thanks!! When I first got mine I noticed the man held them differently, so I looked it up.

I’d say this is how many pigeon keepers become pigeon keepers.
Is it coo’ing or making any sounds?

Wow! I have an early night and missed all the excitement! Well done @h2oratt. You doing good with the pigeon! I'd agree that it is probably a roller pigeon. Very nice looking!

That's great news! I agree with cavemanrich I'd feel happy to release them again. I found that if I released one, it wouldn't hang around. Since I can release all mine they tend to stay and fly loops of the neighbourhood. Your making good progress! Have you done any more vids?

Have you got a pet carrier that you can put it in?
