![]() That home may be a good one or it may be a terrible one. He may rest up and regain enough weight and strength to try and return to the home that he was taken from to race. Here’s some information about what I call ‘kidnap racing’- Pigeon Racing: The Deadliest Marathons. They are domestic birds, not raised to survive in the wild and, without the food and water that you are providing, he’d probably be dead already. Many think it is a harmless hobby but lots of the birds used are injured, lost and/or die along the way. The bird that you are helping is likely a victim of the pigeon racing sport. I can’t continue to keep him around, I have two dogs and a cat. Any info you can give me as to what to do/who to call would be helpful. I cannot read the numbers on the band. I have not actually touched the bird, although he lets me get within a foot of him before he starts to move away… I don’t know if I should be feeding him or not. I have been feeding him with bird seed/grain I bought for Doves and Pigeons and giving him fresh water daily. Sometimes he leaves for an hour or so, but then comes back. Mostly he stays in the carport on the garbage can or my truck bumper. A pigeon with a band on his leg has made my carport his home. I have called our local animal shelter and was told he eventually will leave. I am hoping you can help me with what I should or should not do, who I can contact, etc. ![]()
