I get them brought to me all the time. I have a contact in the pigeon world who can usually help me find the owner but of course it has to be caught first..or at least have the number. There is also an online registry but sometimes it's not current for young birds. Sadly some of the white ones are ones bought to release at weddings and they often perish afterwards. I do know a few who rent their birds out for that purpose and they do come home..but not everyone is ethical about that and some birds aren't properly trained before they are "released" Helene On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 5:32 PM, Heather Prime < birds_of_a_heather@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > ** > ** > ** > ------------------------------ > From: birds_of_a_heather@hotmail.com > To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca > Subject: homing pigeon > Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2012 13:14:19 -0300 > > > Hello, Last time I sent this I didn't realize I could not send > pictures..sorry! > I write a monthly column in our local paper called Passages.From time to > time I get some rare sightings.
