My Wood Pigeon

His name is Monster and he is only young, thought i lost him yesterday when i let him out for the first time with my dads homing pigeons. But he has just returned and has gone into his pigeon loft :D I'll get pics soon, just thought i would share him with you as he is a little different to have as a pet.

Cool, a homing wood pigeon

Yeahh. there were two but the other one died. Next step is to breed him to my fantail :lol!:

Cool, but need the pictures :D

Yeahh i will soon. Its getting dark plus he is a little stressed out from his night out lol. Pictures tomorrow i promise :D

A pigeon out on the tiles all night, naughty thing :D

I noo, but it was his first time. sometimes are house roof is covered in pigeons as strays just appear from no wear.

Only you could have a homing Wood Pidgeon Nath :lol!:

Lol apparently its quite an achievment. because they dont have the homing insticnt that normal pigeons and doves have. So im kinda proud of myself :: :lol!:

Does he have a Sat Nav then :lol!:

Must have, hes one of the new upgraded models of a wood pigeon with all the extras :D

What like wings?

No no I know.....red bull LOL

Awww bless him......he's techno pidg lol

Hurry and get some pics up

Yepp they are one extra of many

This isnt him but he looks very simular just though i would show you jus to keep the peace (Netty)

Awwww cute.....does yours have the fluffy bits too???

Yeahh at the moment, he will lose them when he gets older though.

Pics please!!

I :Love: pigeons my mate used to have racing ones (think they are the same as homing) and they were gorgeous! Never heard of a wood pigeon is he quite tame??? We have a lost homing pigeon at the farm at the moment have been feeding him horse food! not rang the number on his tag because some people destroy them if they dont return as they are no good for racing!!

WE WANT PICS!!!

The ting he has on isnt a phone number anyway its a registration number for that specific bird. homing and racing pigeons are the same thing just basicaly means they can fly back to the pigeon loft from distances. Monster isnt tame as i didnt want him flying to anyone when he was let out. Ill have pics in the morning :D

Ha ha so I would just get dial tone anyway!! I thought they were like dog tags!! I just like looking at them never got involved in the ins and outs of it!!!

Lol i could go on for ages about all the races my pigeons have flown in and what races we won out of so many birds but i dont wanna bore you lol

My son found a racing pigeon in our back garden. It was tired out and at risk from cats. So we popped it in a box with some water and cereal/seeds. Contacted the Pigeon place (cant remember where it was) who told us who it belonged to. We called them amd they denied it was theirs:( So called the pigeon place again and they said that as far as they are concerned, it is registered to them and that they should arrange pick-up. They also said that some keepers dont want to have them back as its probably not a good racer and dont want to pay the courier. So we called the owner again and told them what we had been told. They eventually got the courier to pick it up a week later.
We got quite attached to it really:) It was certainly a lot happier when it left us:)

Yeahh people are like that, but i always think once a pigeon reahces the age of 3 in its racing career then it shouldnt get lost unless form a race oversees. i always give young birds a chance and pck them up if they get lost lol

This one we found was from Wales, so as the "pigeon" flies got a great distance really. Just a load of Bristol channel in between:)
