Hey All, Victoria Campbell of stranded Common Loon infamy/famy has a beautiful, obviously not wild Rock Pigeon that has been brought to her in her capacity as Wildlife Rehabber. Does anyone have any thoughts about this, especially as to whether or not she should just free this bird. I am pasting her email below. See what you think and let me know and I will pass it along. (I have a picture of him/her that I can send to anyone who requests it.)
Thanks very much. Linda Hi! This rather grand fellow was brought to me the other day. Obviously not a wild Rock Dove! I've been trying to call around pigeon related places and no one seems interested in helping me as he does not have a band. With all your birdy connections I thought that you might have some ideas or perhaps be able to post something on the bird list?? He wants to be near people all the time and is friendly, and unfortunately I can't really keep him with the wild things! I feel badly for him and think that he was lost in this past weekend's story weather. Perhaps I should just release him and he will find his way home??? I have no idea! OK, now stay tuned for next email... :) Victoria -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
