INFORMATION FOR GREAT BRITAIN ONLY

Should a racing pigeon take refuge on your property, then the bird is probably just temporally disorientated and we would advise you to feed it with some dry uncooked rice, peanuts, bird seed or crumbled well done toast (a must have is a separate dish of water).   Normally during this period the bird will make a move to return to his home loft, however, should it not make an attempt to leave and you are concerned as to it's welfare and are able to catch it. Then write down the full leg ring number and contact one of the appended organisation below who will then advise on the best course of action.   Should the pigeon be injured, then contact your nearest RSPCA office or Animal Health Centre.


First letters of ring number indicate organisation:-
