Really? I'm wondering how on earth you managed that. It should have a little tag on it's leg with all the details on.
at their address.
The ring on the pigeon's leg has a unique number. Contact the RSCPA who will put you in touch with a local racing pigeon club. The pigeon fanciers will take the pigeon from you and will ensure that it is returned to it's owner by tracing the number. They have a network and do this sort of thing all the time.
When I found one,I was told that the owner wouln't WANT it back!! Makes sense,if it couldn't/wouldn't find it's way "home",it wasn't any good!!
DONT GIVE IT BACK
if a racing pigeon takes to long to return or gets lost, the owner will break its neck!!
harsh but true!
surly if you let it go it will find it's own way home?
Tired pigeons need water,very important.Feed with small seed. Then ring the Royal Racing Pigeon Association with the number that is on the birds leg. 01452 713529. They will contact the owner,who is obliged by law to collect the pigeon.If you have a look on the feathers on its wing,there may be an indelible name and address there.Responsible owners are very grateful to get their birds back as they are well loved. You are very kind to take the time and trouble to help this little bird.
Type in Pigeon Fanciers and search. I found a racing pigeon and got onto the Federation and they came back with the name and telephone number of the owner. If you can approach the bird try to get its registration details. I was told that quite often a bird gets off course and lands and stays for up to two weeks in its adoptive home then takes off to return to its owner.
Anything to help a bird.

Click the link on top that goes to "resources". Click on "lost and found" on the left. There will be information on how to read the band in this site.
You may also want to ask specifically if the owner will accept the bird. Many times if a racer gets lost, the owner doesn't want it back and would sooner kill it than take it in.
They make outstanding pets if you're interested and the above Web site has plenty of information on how to properly care for one.
report it
Check the phone book for a number for a Homing Pigeon Union, give them a call and they'll do all the work for you! It's very rewarding knowing you've helped a pigeon fancier get back a bird they thought was lost.
