Report a Stray,
Lost, Injured or Found Racing Homing
Pigeon |
| |
|
This is a champion
racing pigeon. It should not be confused with the wild pigeons which
frequent city buildings. Occasionally during the racing season even champions get lost and
may require assistance. |
|
|
|
All racing pigeons
carry a hard plastic ring on their leg which identifies its owner. The
first few letters on the ring indicates the issuing organisation, the
next two numbers identify its year of birth, the remaining letter and numbers
identify its registered owner. |
|
|
|
A racing pigeon may carry two rings one
on each leg. One will either be a rubber
band ring or an ETS tag, chip ring.
These are only used
for racing purposes. |

PLEASE NOTE:-
DO NOT report pigeons that
are not in your possession. Owners cannot arrange to
collect pigeons that are roaming or flying around your
home or garden. You must catch the pigeon first. |
| |
|
When you have the pigeon in your
possession read and write down carefully all the letters
and numbers on the plastic coloured ring. For example it
should read something like this "SU 09 A 12345". |
| |
|
Before reporting the pigeon open the
pigeons wing and check to see if the owners name or
telephone number has been ink stamped on its flight
feathers. If it is, then telephone the owner direct. |
