A homing pigeon came to visit us last summer. It stayed on the roof and also tired to sleep in our chicken coop. Last year we went to an extreme heat wave of 120°. I took pity on the bird and try to accommodate it, I also called the owners from the band I found on its Legs. They didn’t really seem to care that the pigeon was missing or had been hanging around our property for months. I caught the bird and probably spooked it so it disappeared for a while. However it’s now back. I have read about homing pigeons and that sometimes they are just very hungry and thirsty and need a safe place to stop. The owners do not care about the pigeon. They only live like 5 miles from us so I can bring them the pigeon or they can get it. It’s now today and it’s raining so I’ve decided to let it sleep in the coop. I’ll wake up really early and let it out so it doesn’t kill itself on all the bird netting meant to protect my chickens. But like what I do with this pigeon. Is seriously breaking my heart that it just keeps showing up. And has spent months befriending my chicken. It has become so brazen that it goes into the roost at night. I just want to Protect it but at the same time I know it can’t fly around in my coop while I’m at work.
