Chirping
A banded homing pigeon landed at our farm last week. He seemed exhausted. We gave him water and food and let him rest. We checked his bands but I haven't been able to find anything on the numbers/letters. We tried to release him the next day but he seemed to have trouble flying. He tried to go hide in our barn but we have a barn cat that would definitely kill it. So we've got him in a large dog cage in the house. He seems agitated occasionally and tries flying/climbing up the walls of the cage. Is this normal? I've never had a "house" bird so I'm not sure if we're doing something wrong with him. He's got bird seed, water, and a box/shelf to climb on and under. Any advice? Thank you!
