I'm attaching a couple of photos of a grizzle girl pigeon who got lost on a Cheshire to Lancashire
training flight yesterday. I collected her this morning. The nice guy who
found her on his windowsill had kept her in a cat carrier with a little dish of
water and a dish of bird food. He was renovating and living in a lovely old
mansion, Bradlegh Hall (below). Richard III allegedly slept here.....which makes a change from "Oliver Cromwell slept here"...
My dad thinks the wing isn't broken but
she has a big 3-inch gash under the left wing - possibly caused by a hawk attack. I
will get some antibiotic powder from my brother. She is resting in a
separate compartment of the loft with two other young pigeons, as one of
the older male pigeons could attack/savage her. Fingers crossed! Maybe I should call myself the "Grizzle Lady"!
