For lack of any other place to seek information, I'm posting here. I don't normally read this news group, so please reply to me by email... This morning I found what I believe to be a homing pigeon in my back yard. I walked around after him for a few moments and it soon became evident that he was indeed unable to fly. I believe him to be a homing pigeon because of a green tag on one leg and a white tag on the other. I seem to remember reading something somewhere that homing pigeons are banded in this way. That is the total extent of my knowledge on the subject. It doesn't appear that the bird is injured in any way. His wing feathers and tail feathers seem to be ok. What sort of things should I look for to try to get this bird "off his feet" again, and what can I tell from the bands on his legs. Is there any way of using the info on them to get in touch with the owner? Any help would be appreciated. Mark Longo ihnp4!druco!mrl (303) 538-4900
