Subject: [Ohio-birds] All of the recent banded pigeons


> Just a quick "heads up" to everyone, the reason why that there have been
> a lot of banded pigeons as of late is that there was a race that
> started  in either eastern Illinois or Somewhere in Indiana. (500 miles
> from Erie PA from what I can gather)  So some of the birds that are
> heading east are "running out of gas", and are resting before finishing
> their trip.  There have been three found in Ohio so far, our two and one
> up in Cedar Point...must have wanted a vacation. :-D
> The secretary of the racing chapters that I have contacted so far  have
> suggested that if you find one, offer it food and water it if you can.
> Eventually in a couple of days, it will get enough strength to finish
> the flight.
>
> Paul Walsh from the International Federation (IF) also sent me an email.
> He suggested that you read the article found in this link on care and
> feeding a lost pigeon:  http://www.ifpigeon.com/IF/if_care_pigeon.html
>
> There are people listed there to contact if you are able to get a band
> number and can give you further instructions if you can capture it to
> make arrangements to return it to it's owner.
>
> I will post the email from Paul, and the links that I have gathered on
> the OOS forum site as soon as I can.
>
> Have a great day!
