He has been here for 9 days. He does fly. Sometimes he leaves for an hour or so, but then comes back. Mostly he stays in the carport on the garbage can or my truck bumper. He is drinking and eating well. I cannot read the numbers on the band. The bird that you are helping is likely a victim of the pigeon racing sport. He may rest up and regain enough weight and strength to try and return to the home that he was taken from to race. He might even make it. That home may be a good one or it may be a terrible one.
Or that home may not exist anymore. Racing pigeons will sometimes stop somewhere for a rest during training or a race and that somewhere could be your home. So what should you do if a racing pigeon pays you a visit? Racing pigeons will have a ring on their leg.
If your visitor does not have a ring then it is probably a wild bird. It is perfectly OK to provide food for the racing pigeon but it must be appropriate food. Do not offer bread to racing pigeons!
The best options are bird seed, uncooked rice or lentils. If you do feed the pigeon then make sure that you also give it some water. Simply fill a deep dish with tap water and place it adjacent to the food. This will be a perfectly adequate pigeon drinker.
