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

Oh, lets all hope Gazzie has found a hot male pidge and they're all loved up in a barn roof somewhere and he's feeding her worms.

Maybe she has decided against a captive way of life and has shacked up under a railway bridge in a pigeon commune somewhere.

We are going to have to start a missing pigeon poster campaign country wide if she is not home soon.

Oh gosh I hadn't been on all day and thought I'd find Gazzie safely back home :(. Fly little pidge, fly!

Read the whole thread last night and have checked a few times today for news.

Come on Gazzie get yourself home, holiday is over now!

You did a lovely thing OP Flowers

I know Mog Sad x 100.... But hoping she turns up now she's had some freedom and has decided she's hungry. Friend in RL said she took off like a bullet in the right direction, so at least we know she was fit, healthy and ready to fly!

Come on Gazzie - I'm far too invested in this pigeon even told my DH about it last night Smile

BigDamnHero · 11/06/2017 16:09

Oh no! I read this thread through thinking there'd be good news by the time I got to the end but no sight of her yet? Shock

I'll look out for Gaz as New Malden is about 2 miles from me as the pigeon flies!
