Hope it wasn't too painful for the poor hen, but yes - very cool!

Don't feel bad! Even stories like this bring attention to the truly awesome birds that pigeons are. As you said, when the truth comes out people learn more about them. There have been some incredible but confirmed returns such as one from SA to somewhere in UK if I recall correctly. It took...

The owner of the missing racer has said Joe is not his bird. Joe is not a racing homer(probably a Turkish tumbler). Joe is a hen and was undoubtably bred in AU. So although I'd love to know a pigeon could make that trip, what we have is fake news.:oops:

Can someone call Johnny Depp and ask him to charter a plane to bring this bird back home!! Arguably as easy to trap this bird as kill it. :hitAre they sure this bird was never legally imported through quarantine? They certainly have a reason and a right to restrict entry of birds. Avian PMV...

You have plenty of room in that beautiful palace... :confused: And a big heart for chickens!:thumbsup

Best of luck! :thumbsup

Looks just like my pigeon hen who escaped from the hawk but left every one of her tail feathers behind! :eek:

Mmmmm ! That coffee looks yummy too.:lol:

Me too!:)

Thank you for what you do! And under such challenging circumstances.

Have you thought of using honey as a wound dressing. It is an antibacterial.

I may not have asked, but I search for your updates everyday!, :D

At least he still has a tail. To me, Treacle looked sooo pitiful!

:hugsI hope they work it out(with no fatalities)!:fl

IKR! Still, she must have accrued some terribly good karma to have landed as a princess in the palace. Is she the alpha hen? I should know but memory fails me ….:oops: I really do love that portrait!

That is pretty much my approach as well. Homing pigeons are considered to be aloof and non-cuddly. I find if I respect their personal space they will show me just how interactive they want to be, like your flock, mine are all different. . I do handle the babies although squabs and chicks are...

:eek: How is that possible?!
