What to do with a Lost Bird

We are often contacted by people who have a lost bird and they want to know what to do.  How should they take care of it and find the owner?

FIRST OF ALL, pigeons will not bite or hurt you in any way.  If you hold it, do not squeeze it or ruffle the feathers.  Be gentle but firm. 

SECONDLY, get the bird some food and water.  If you can catch it, place it in a small cage (about 2 feet square) or even a cardboard box with a screen top so light can get in.  An old bird cage or even a pet carrier will do the job.  If the bird is wild in your back yard, put the food and water where it can be found. 

Water should be in a bowl at least 1 or 2 inches deep because pigeons suck water and must be able to immerse their bill.  If the bird is really exhausted, you may have to show it where the water is initially.   If a bird looks really exhausted, Gatorade or other sports drink may be added to the water. A teaspoon or two per cup (250 ml) of water will help replenish electrolytes.

Any of the following grains will suffice as food: popcorn, wheat, rice, barley, bird seed, or other whole grain that you may have.  Do not cook these grains.  Bread is not a good choice because most pigeons will not recognize it as food. 

After it has gained its strength, let it loose and it may continue on its way.  Never attach a note to the leg because you may cause loss of circulation and injure the animal. 

Or you may have a wonderful new friend that lives in and returns to your backyard.

If the bird is injured or unbanded and you need assistance, contact your local Humane Society.  You might also look in our directory for white dove release businesses near where you live. 

BANDS AND FINDING THE OWNER
If the bird has a band, from the number, you may be able to locate the owner. Some bands are personalized with names and phone numbers directly on them.  Others will have a series of numbers that might look like this:   IPB-224-ABC-01.  Begin by contacting the organization that issued the band.   They should have a record of who owns the bird.  Good Luck, and thank you for taking the time to care.
