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

I am in tears anyway, my old 22 yr old cat passed this morning* and now no news on DGazzie.
Fly High Pidge Fly High

  • in the car on the way to the vet for same reason. Cat always loved a good car ride and he went peacefully on the way.

He always rode up front with me, his little paws on the Dash and an expression of 'Where we going Mum ' Happy happy cat to drive around

Hi Madd (& anyone else who's still hoping), heard back from her owner just now and he confirmed she never returned. I think the best we can hope for is that she's joined a pigeon commune under a bridge somewhere and is enjoying her freedom!

I guess we'll never know...but for bringing a random group of people together who invested in her story and were rooting for her, and for making me and my DD smile, I'll always be grateful that she ended up on my doorstep!

Fly high DGazzie, wherever you are 💙 x

Did you manage to get hold of the Owner again ?

((((((((((Hugs))))))))))

NachoAddict · 20/06/2017 00:27

Was so hoping she had made it home safe!

EvilDoctorBallerinaDuck · 20/06/2017 00:03

Fingers crossed.

No news, sorry Madd. I think maybe all we can say is that she's chosen to fly the nest/coop....

TheMaddHugger · 14/06/2017 01:59

No news I gather. Sad

Given her bad sense of direction I have an irresistible urge to go call Gazzie at my wild pigeons here in Oz. Tho they are Topknot wild Doves Not Pigeons

DGazzieeeeeeee where for out thou

Thanks Spookle. She was def well rested, fed & watered so would hopefully be fine for a few days. Weather lovely. Don't blame her for wanting a mini-pidge-break Wink & not go straight back to work!

Spookle · 13/06/2017 11:35

Aww, maybe Gazzie has decided that now she has had a taste of being a pampered hand fed pigeon there is no way she is going back to work?

Hope you get news soon Sassy.

MoonfaceAndSilky · 13/06/2017 10:06

Come on Gazzie, where are you?
Could she have been too tired/hungry and come down in another garden? She's probably now on someone else's doorstep, avoiding the cat and putting on her cutest face to try and get fed Smile

rightwhine · 13/06/2017 09:20

Oops Grin

Mad didn't write anything awful.

Hi, Gazza's owner
Can you please update us, even if it is to say there is no news about her. You could text sassy or it's easy to register on here and post directly.
Thanks
From Gazza's supporters
