Lost & Stray Pigeons
Racing pigeons may become disorientated and as a result become lost. Often still flying long after they should have reached their lofts and safety. A lost, or stray, pigeon will be weak, dehydrated, tired and in need of food and water.
Should you successfully capture such a forlorn pigeon, please place it in a box to keep predators at bay. Please provide water, in a small but deep container and some wild bird seed, corn, rice or dried peas.
To contact the owner of the pigeon, who will arrange and pay for all costs involved in getting the pigeon from you … firstly, carefully check the long flight feathers, as they may be stamped with the owners’ contact details. These details would allow you to make contact with the least effort. Secondly, check the leg ring for a number. For example, if we here at, The North of England Homing Union (NEHU) had issued the ring, the number would be of the form … NEHU2008X1234. There are many ring issuing bodies and some are listed below, please make contact with the appropriate body directly. We thank you for caring.
***Help collect strays from Non Fanciers around the UK***
The following website has been set up to help collect strays from Non Fanciers around the UK, the contacts are on there and they are looking for more help. It may be helpful if any members get pigeons reported with non fanciers after the last few weeks if the non fanciers want the pigeon away asap.
