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

Pigeon has gone. If back I'll check for rings later.

Nothing from DGazzie's owner...might have to hope she's taken early retirement in a London park somewhere...

Perhaps she has made it home but her owner is feeling so stunned by his new found MN fame that he's too scared to contact you in case he gets requests from a troop of MNers wanting DGazzie's claw print autograph.

SassynSane · 12/06/2017 18:09

Now that is an inspired idea! We could have MN day out at the coop!!! Grin

Could the Owner have neglected to reply to you ????

I can hope it's just bad manners on His part ?

Checking this pre first tea of the day....

EDBD 😍😂

Morning! Still no news...I have linked thread for owner and asked him to keep me posted and he assured me he would, so I sadly think it's a case that she's still a Pidge MIA Sad I promise to keep you all updated if I do hear anything...keep those fingers crossed!

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

Madd just back from school run. What on earth did you write?

And right you've just made me smile 😊....I'm def NOT supporting Gazza...he can sort himself out!!!! Gazzie however....😂

Oops Grin

Mad didn't write anything awful.

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

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.

SassynSane · 13/06/2017 11:47

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!

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

SassynSane · 14/06/2017 06:45

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