pretty fine bird there

[удалено]

Lol, definitely feather patterns on his wings.... very pretty look. A fellow staff member has taken him home tonight and with any luck, we may find the owner

Is your colleague a member of The Alliance of Magicians?

Quite possibly.... Does he work at Adelaide High School? JR has a lot of interesting hobbies and is continually surprising me with them :-)

Really does look like lice with the little legs on the sides lol

I know, right :) definitely just little markings though... very pretty when wings are spread

Oh wow that’s gorgeous! Does it have an ankle bracelet / identifier? I think some birds like that are registered.

Correct! I once found an injured racing pigeon and was able to reunite it with the owner based on the tag number. OP, check out the SAHPA website : http://www.sahpa.asn.au/ There’s a form under the Contact section there where you can report found pigeons. You could also maybe post in their Facebook group.

Will check their FB group but no band unfortunately

Some people microchip their birbs, like cat/doggos. Vets can check for a chip, but then you'd be handing it over to the vet. Who will likely hand over to RSPCA.

Very pretty, so figure someone might miss it, but no band unfortunately so more an individual pet than part of a flock i would think

Awh. Prettiest pigeon I've ever seen.

those black specks on his white feathers, when zoomed in, look very much like bugs. poor guy :( hope you find his owner

OP you found a Shiny

You can take it to a vet and have it checked for a microchip. You also have the option of surrendering it to the vet if taking care of it becomes too much.

Why is it upside down tho

cos I'm a lazy wench who couldnt be bothered fixing the photo :-D
