Lost Pigeon?

External Since: Jun 30, 2003 Posts: 1

There has been a pigeon hanging around one of my bird feeders for about
3 weeks and today he/she let me get close enough to notice that he/she
has these 'bands' around each leg. These 'bands' fit close to the feet,
and they are white with black numbers. ( I live in Virginia)

What are these bands and what do they mean? Is this someone pet? The
pigeon seems friendly enough, so I assume it's use to humans.

Thanks to all who reply!

HI

I would suggest you look in your local white or yellow pages and get
the details of a local pigeon club. Give them a call and give them as
many details about the bird as possible.

If you can see the numbers on the bands thats helpful. You never know
there may be someone local that can come and help you out.

Good luck
