why doesn't someone contact a pigeon fanciers club? we had a similar incident recently and it turned out to be a young racing pigeon on it's way home from it's first race. It had been attacked by a cat and later died. But, it had a ring on and the pigeon fanciers club have a website where you can report found birds. Can you see if it has a ring on it's leg? I've just looked up this site: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100510012026AAHrugW

It probably is a lost/tired racing pidgeon if its on its own.
Generally if it looks like its in good condition its likely to be one and will probably go when its got its strength back.
I used to feed mine dry corn/seeds but never bread.

From many past callouts locally these are usually birds that have taken shelter because they have been attacked by a bird of prey or a cat.
Of the 70+ Pigeons that where Culled last week no Racers where taken, I can spot racers as they are very differnt from Feral pigeons.
If you are still hving problems with this Bird place some bread outside the roller door to attact other birds, this will have chill the bird out and intice it out.
Failing that we can Humainly disbatch the Bird.
Regards,

Regards, It looks like a wood pigeon rather than a normal small grey one. Bread has been put out, water but it won't come down from the racking. It's very high and very noisy in the day time, I think it's really sad now because it's been there now for four days almost. I think we really need to do something soon.

what happened in the end with the pigeon, was it ok?  Our garage is like a warehouse with massive cieling about 50 feet high, when the pigeon crew come in we use water. Soak them using a spray bottle and the little crettins soon scarper. Before Any of the "save the pigeon brigade" kick off, our pigeons are well fed and looked after by the lads down the yard, they help us by eating our scraps so the bins don't stink the garages out, at the same time they are being fed. Nice pigeon, coo coo
