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

Had a Lovely dream after going back to bed. Milo was with My Mum, Who died September 1st last year. I often dream of Mum. Now I feel Milo is with her. She adored him

LOL! Am sure she'll travel well if used to going racing Smile Obviously must be to do with wind direction but part of me would like to think that as am also South West, we have a reputation (amongst pigeons at least) for being kind and caring in this part of the world Grin

@SassynSane Misty is apparently from Loughborough. We are in South West and DH has meeting Keele so hoping Misty doesn't get car sick!

If we could interpret the cooing in the pigeon roosts at the moment, I think it would be "y'know how people have that thing called Uber now? Well, us pigeons can use a similar thing, it's called called MN, to get a lift home"

TheMaddHugger · 21/06/2017 23:28

Awwwwwww bumblingmum Love that you have a pidge. and am taking 'Misty' home in style ((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))

Thanks sassynsane and EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck ((((((Hugs))))

Ps, I still check this thread before anything else. Like I said upthread, My childhood cat made it home 2 months later, I still have hope for DGazzie

Hi Bumbling, DGazzie didn't have a name. Is owner Olympic Park way? Otherwise think it is a long shot, however a lovely thing you have done and hope Misty is happy to be home on Friday 😊

So, we found a pigeon on our doorstep 2 days ago. My husband has tracked down the owner and it's called Misty. It's a long shot but I wonder if it's the same pigeon and gone off track again? We think a bird of prey has gone for it as it's lost its long feathers on one wing.
DH is going to drive it home en route to a meeting on Friday!

Oh Madd, I lost my original Sassycat a week before Christmas in 2015 & there isn't a day goes by that I don't think of her. Hugs lovely lady. Take heart in your lovely boy reaching a grand old age & sparing his mum from having to make a heart-wrenching decision on his behalf. He was obviously loved and will live on in your memories.

Be kind to yourself xxxxx

FlowersMadd. So sorry, sounds like a great cat who you will miss terribly- but sounds like he chose the perfect way to go, which will be some comfort.

TheMaddHugger · 21/06/2017 10:17

DGazzie ❤️ 💛 💚 💙 💜 always in our hearts and bloody sure you are living up the high and free ife
