Anyone lost this? On my backstep if it's yours!

So. Just come in through my back gate to find this on my doorstep....anyone missing a pigeon? Not your average bird, well looked after, has got ring etc but bloody thing won't let me get close enough to get details.

It's currently attacking my pots in hope of food. Am assuming due to high winds been blown off course and is knackered. I have chucked some food out on back step (randomly had some milled linseed in...once a Girl Guide, always a Girl Guide Grin) and shut in Sassycat (cos that wouldn't end well...I'd be hoovering up feathers for weeks!!!)...

So...anyone think they've lost something today? Or have suggestions of what I could do with it? Confused

OublietteBravo · 10/06/2017 20:22

Where are you Gazzie?

SoupDragon · 10/06/2017 20:08

How long at pigeon speed is it from New Malden to the OP's house...?

MimsyBorogroves · 10/06/2017 20:06

Just read the whole thread and I'm now HEAVILY invested.

This is nail biting! C'mon DGazzie!

Lovely thread. Thank you OP

Gizmo79 · 10/06/2017 20:01

Waiting with incredibly baited breath!

DoctorTwo · 10/06/2017 19:55

New Malden to Stratford is about an hour for a pigeon. Here's hoping she's on the way back to yours Sassy.

I would have thought she'd be home by now. Unless she's waiting for a South West train in to Waterloo from New Malden, in which case she's screwed Grin

Rooting for you dgazzie!

UrsulaPandress · 10/06/2017 19:08

She'll be back with you tomorrow

ErrolTheDragon · 10/06/2017 19:04

My observation of pigeons in my garden suggests she may have stopped off to stuff herself with food, have some water or a bath, or have sex.

Testarossa1 · 10/06/2017 19:03

Any news?

Bravas · 10/06/2017 19:03

So for those in the area, New Malden isn't all that far from the Olympic Park area right? So as she took to the skies just before 3pm she should be home by now? Hopefully just enjoying her freedom for a while....🙏

Yes, it's a beautiful evening in London. South London anyway.

OublietteBravo · 10/06/2017 18:48

It's nice and sunny over this end of the country. She's probably sunning herself somewhere.

UrsulaPandress · 10/06/2017 18:47

It's raining in the North. Is it dry in that London?
