    pigeon found in west midlands..

    Post by cvd1381 on Sun Jun 06, 2010 9:42 pm

    Have absolutely no clue about pigeons so please forgive my ignorance.

    A white pigeon with grey tail, tips of wings, speckled around head..

    could be a dove possibly? no idea..

    He turned up down the farm where I keep my horses about 5 days ago and doesn't seem to be going anywhere! think he may have injured himself though as doesnt seem to be a very strong flyer. He also seems quite thin?

    Ring number is wtc then a horizontal 60 then 1696.
    Have had a look on his wing as someone said sometimes there is a number? but there isnt.

    We're feeding and watering him etc. and he is being kept in a large dog cage overnight.
    Wouldnt mind keeping him, but he would only be out of the cage for a few hours a day as there are working dogs and all sorts around. I have no idea if this is suitable? for him to be caged nearly all the time?

    I'm really at a loss of what to do with him?

    Any info/advice would be much appreciated! thanks.


    Will try and attach a photo from when we found him..

    think its a fancy bird with a union ring on it, its not a racing pigeon by the sounds of the ring and the look of the bird..........
