No clue. We put him up on facebook. Quite handsome. Hopefully he's heading home. We live in the country and I don't ever recall seeing a pigeon in our neighborhood. I suppose the leg band could be some kind of nature study tracking flight patterns and such. He looked very well cared for so I'm guessing someone takes the hobby pretty seriously. He just doesn't look like he's been in the wild for any length of time. Might try calling the state to see if they know anything about him. I know they track the bears in neighborhood.

Looks like a sweat scraper for horses... or for getting the shedding hair off of them. I have a gazillion pigeons in my yard.... are they unusual where you live? I thought they lived everywhere.....
It is a "dog-be-good". We have one for our pug when she eats her own poop. She is beginning to find pleasure in it. Sick dog I tell ya….

Let me guess...... she's a licker too? :hororr:
Only strangers and guests. She gets really excited when they come over and goes to town before we can stop it. Then we just don't have the heart to tell them. Ignorance is bliss.

Anyway and FWIW, it's your standard Rock Pigeon if you happen to report it. :rugby:

We're absolutely plagued with them here. They're lovingly referred to as " winged rats " because of the diseases they allegedly carry.
I just found out there's a Homing Pigeon club in the local area. So he wasn't far from home. I think they have races to see who's birds get home first. Seems ironic that this one decided to take a break at a house full of retired Racing Greyhounds. Maybe he's looking forward to his senior years and he's checking the lay of the land.
That's a grooming tool called a shedding blade. It's got teeth like a saw (not terribly sharp) and it's used to pull dead hair off short haired dogs. The dogs like it cause they get attention and I guess it feels like a backscratcher.
It's a canine fact of life. Most poop eaters are very affectionate kissers but we don't talk about it in public. :redface:

I thought pigeons were grey? I've never seen a blue one
Metro-sexual Pigeons are grey. You can get one if you place a custom order. Please allow 6 weeks for delivery. :biggrin-new:
