I also have a homing pigeon story. About 4 summers ago, a banded homing pigeon showed up here. He seemed to be very friendly and I started feeding him (perhaps I should not have??)..we seemed to develop a special bond...I started calling him Homie...he eventually let me pick him up and I got the info off the band on his leg. There was a number to call in California...so I called the number and gave them other id info from his band and they gave me a phone number for a guy in Wetumpka, AL...I called that guy and told him that one of his birds was homesteading here and if he wanted him, I would help. He said that he did not care to have the bird back so Homie just became my pet bird...when I went out on the pontoon boat, Homie would fly above and circle my boat on my return home. I really enjoyed the bird being around. He would always roost on my deck rail at night...until a raccoon (I assume) got to him one night and killed him. I only saw a few feathers on the ground...I suppose it could have been a cat but was not one of mine since they do not have outside priviledges. Oh well, that's my story....didn't mean to drag it out so much....
