Lost unwanted racing pigeon

[Bibim]

Hi, I found a homing/racing pigeon a little over week ago. I brought it home, cleaned it up, gave it much wanted food and water. I was able to track down the owner, who did not seem very interested in the bird. I did a little research, and found out that most owners don't want the lost birds back. I now need to find this guy (guessing) a new home. I live in eastern Nassau County on Long Island but would gladly drive a couple hours for a good home for this guy. He was born this year and has gotten pretty used to being handled. I've been calling him Walter, but I've been wrong at this guessing game before. Anyway he/she would make a lovely pet/companion. He is a grey bird, your every day run of the mill grey pigeon. If interested, please give contact me at 631-327-4381 picture forthcoming.

I really know nothing about birds or pigeons but 30 min ago there was a flock of birds I could see them through my window. I stand to look at them and I first though they were ducks. They were big and I never realized pigeons can get that big. I had to Google them and the first page with image similar to them is this one. Now I am fascinated. I live on Roosevelt Island where there is only a one single lonely duck pet or 11000 + Islanders, habitants
I realized I seesaw this flock before and even took pictures during last fall. It looks like they live here. If saw they may be cared for by the island sanctuary. Next person to find unwanted lost grant pigeon could may call Roosevelt Island
Calling the Roosevelt island Operating Corporation (RIOC) should provide the info and contact for the lady who care for the sanctuary. Other than that There is public safety Dpt that double as information desk. Very kind people.

I am definitely not sure whether the sanctuary on Roosevelt cares for the pigeons I saw or any or pigeon. But the flock more likely lives here. And a lost one could nicely fit in. Hopefully there could be matching.

First,,,
Now just for your information.
The flock of pigeons is likely from area/park, in Ney York City. Pigeons hang around areas that they can find food. That may be a park, where peeps feed the pigeons their lunch scraps. Behind, stores, and restaurants where food is tossed out. Rail yards where grain in train cars sometimes falls out from openings/cracks in rail cars.
Pigeons are not a protected bird. I doubt very much the RIOC sanctuary tends to the pigeons.
Here in Chicago, pigeons are considered a pest bird. Efforts to eradicate them are ongoing.
This is a true fact.
Feeding pigeons in Chicago city limits is punishable by a HEFTY FINE.
Of course you can feed your flock of pigeons if you have one. I'm not sure if it is allowed to keep racing pigeons in Chicago currently.
I live in a suburb outside of Chicago. Nobody bothered me at my home.

Wishing you best,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and
