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

[SassynSane]

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 ) 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?

Aw! Hope he's ok.

It must be about weetabix time - any update OP?

I want a Kez!

Hope Gaz is ok this morning.

I LOVE this. I once had a chicken hen that my husband named Gary (after "Gaaaaary" from Only Fools and Horses).

Loving the Kez story and that people care enough to look after any type of stray critter. You restore my faith in human nature.

Is Gary hanging around for his weetabix this morning?

Morning! Right...just going out to check...keep all wings fingers crossed! 👌

Crossing those fingers! Hope he's ok

I was in the same boat and the owner said he'd pick it up 'because he was obliged to' and made it clear that as the bird was injured, he would be euthanising it (not necessarily via a vet).

The local wildlife centre kindly took it from me instead, yours must be injured if it's not flying off I would have thought. Hope he's just tired.

He's definitely a Gary...

Placemarking for a Gaz update...

Come on Gaz! Hope you are ok buddy.

Kez is having a duvet day today. It's a bjt wet and windy for him today.

We caught one by putting bird feet into our cat carrier, attaching a string to the door and feeding the string out through the back of the carrier so we could shut the door without approaching.

He turned out to be a champion racing pigeon. We had to keep him for a couple of days over the weekend. dd who was little drew a picture of him. On the Monday FedEx picked him up. I had to put him in the cardboard box they bought. The courier was going nowhere near it. dd put the picture in.

A few days later we had a lovely thank you card and a photo of where he lived :)

Oh come on OP

Yay! Gaz is alive n flapping still! Happy dance!!!

I cannot believe I have just made him Weetabix n milk for brekkie though....oh and huge dilemma...did I use Whole or Semi-skimmed milk??? Decided Whole in the end....Gaz prob needs the extra calories! At least it was organic phew

Sorry for reply delay...had to have our Weetabix too...school run in a bit!

Now moved Gaz onto a bench so he has a room with a view!

Hang on will post pics...

Gaz says good morning 😊

Breakfast chez Sassy....oooh...does this qualify me as an air b'n'b host? Sorry....couldn't resist....

You'll give him a complex with that cat bowl

Glad he enjoyed his weetabix!

Morning Gaz! Bit windy for flying!

We all know that its really Tweetabix....

Aww morning Gaz. Glad you are ok buddy.

Hmmm...maybe I should have gone for the semi-skimmed after all! Doesn't look like he was particularly impressed by my breakfast efforts Not sure my, ahem, fledgling air b'n'b efforts will be getting many stars at this rate!

Have cleaned it up...and will go and buy some birdseed in a bit...

water is really important. I was told not to worry too much about food, but to make sure they have water.

He's got a bowl of water too (which was also poo'd in this morning ) and will keep it topped up. Was half thinking I might be able to let him go this morn but way too windy out there so hoping I get a response from the racing pigeon people. Won't be letting him go anywhere if I think he might have his neck wrung though #giveGazachance!!! He's a sweetie

Awww. I luffs Gaz. I want one

Maybe we could organise a kind of Gaz timeshare Royal??? He's very cute....
