Please fly home Pigeon! I tried to get close enough to read the band, but he was skittish. I hope that is a good sign that he is not too exhausted. After a bit of research I foudn that some owners don't want lost pigeons back; and if they do come to collect them they will put the bird down. I hope this is the minority of pigeon racers.

All he needed was a drink of water, some cracked corn and a rest! Go Pigeon Go! Whew!
