Can you help get this homing pigeon home for Christmas?



Everyone passed around our alligator pictures for years, do you think this homeless homing pigeon will get press? He or maybe she showed up here about 2 months ago. We've not been able to catch him to read the bands on his legs until yesterday. He was startled and ran into the plate glass window. We got the numbers off the bands, then let him go. We made some phone calls and the band numbers mean he's a racing pigeon and is apparently taking an extended rest stop in Ravenel. He seems very unhappy when it rains and spends quite a lot of time sitting on the roof watching the comings and goings here. Anyone have any ideas on how we can find his home before he becomes a partridge in a pear tree for one of our circling hawks?



AHPI 6908 BR8 was on the red tag. He had a blank red and brown one.

Someone called and said it's a girl and it's a "blue check hen". Still researching its home...

We got a note that AHPI stands for American Homing Pigeon Institute.
