This thing was wearing a band on each leg and would not leave me alone.....
It would fly up and then come back...

I cold not see the dark green band markings
The light green one said...
DC
AU 2008 407
:shrug: Then it took a crap on the truck while I was talking to it and flew away :shrug: It flew back and fourth to the truck three or four times like this :laf: It was strange.
I did a search on the numbers and I think it is a racing pigeon.......But I cant find the right band # to see where it is from.
Grab a hold of him and read em Al :biggrin:
I was trying to but he would stay just far enough away, I coulnt and the camera made him walk farther away.
I bet he tastes just like chicken :iroll:
Steve
lol.. I can see Al putting pigeon bling on his lanyard :yoyo:
Did that pigeon initiate a new vehicle Al?? :confused:
Jim
No jim I am still working on that one :wink:
That's pretty cool Al. I had one sitting on my doorstep when I got home a bunch of years back. He kinda adopted me for the night and spent most of it sitting on a shotgun barrel on my kitchen sink.
I talked to a guy at a pigeon club today that said the bird is probably from DC and it is a race bird and to just wait and see if he goes on his way.
...and if ya wait too long...he'll taste like chicken :laf:
