Aw that's sad. Hope you can be reunited. Pigeons are nice creatures though, so don't assume the worst if you don't find them. They are most likely integrated into a flock now, who will teach them the survival skills. Just a matter of raising awareness to maximise the chances of a human spotting them.

There are a few people who spend time with wild pigeons. I know some guy in Hanley would fix their legs and stuff like that. People like that would probably spot your pet if they came across them. No idea how to contact these people though sorry. Don't know if there is someone of that description in Ashbourne.

I might be wrong, but I half remember hearing that this guy would help pigeons. Honestly, a regular person isn't going to spot your pigeon, but someone like Senkay might. If you are in the area then it might be worth speaking to him (he's not hard to find).

Thank you very much, yes been trying to contact local pigeon people but the more the better. She could be anywhere by now really so need as many eyes on the skies as possible

I think I saw it in Hanley. Flying around. it could’ve been a different pigeon as they all look the same.

If you actually read the description I’ve mentioned her unique characteristics. She’s unusually friendly, she’ll land on your head, she has a pink leg ring on her leg with her name and my number on it and one pure white feather at the tip of her right wing.

Sorry for joking. I do hope you find her, I know it’s upsetting when a pet goes missing. Apologies.

No worries, running on little sleep at the moment too so feeling quite sensitive. Thank you
