Domestic pigeons and doves are easy targets for all kinds of predators and most who are allowed to free fly are eventually killed or lost as a result. Pet pigeons should not be out flying around loose. It’s just something racers tell people so the “problem” is handled. Some racers will call back and tell you to give the pigeon food and water for a couple of days and then let it go as “it will continue the trip home” but the odds of the lost, weakened pigeon actually making it home alone are poor. Also, most of the time, the banded birds aren’t claimed (because they aren’t wanted). If a lost, starving and/or injured racing pigeon or “dove release” homer or roller is lucky enough to get rescued alive (most that get lost or hurt die alone, unhelped), they should be lucky enough to get a good, non-exploitive home. They just kill the birds, something pigeon sport and business people are comfortable with. that kill these birds don’t notify anybody. If you feel like you have to contact the person who raced or rented out the bird you’ve rescued, please keep in mind that the hawks, cats, raccoons, dogs, cars, starvation, etc. I’m too busy cleaning, feeding, treating, and trying to save their lives. Anyone who thinks they deserve to go back to where they came from is welcome to look up all the bands I’ve saved and tell the owners how their birds suffered and died – and see if they want to pay their vet bills. I’ve been criticized for not taking the time to track people down and ask if they want their bird. This is the sort of thing (along with injury and starvation) that I see commonly happen to these birds. Look closely at this band – it reads “No Mercy.” This was Anna, a lost racer who arrived in respiratory distress, was treated and given O2, and unfortunately could not beat her infection. Racers will likely be culled for being “losers” who didn’t make it home quickly. Pigeon racing casualty’s band says, No mercy

(Learn about how to find your lost pigeon here.) People who use their pigeons for sport and business never contact us looking for lost birds. and whenever we are contacted for help with a lost pigeon, we do our best to help them get home.
Usually, when a pet pigeon is lost, their person looks for them, posting on craigslist, Nextdoor, social media, lost and found sites, contacting local rescues, etc. We can help you to care for the bird you’ve rescued and/or to find help. If you find a banded pigeon, please join our Palomacy Help Group and post a photo for quick help. White Homers, bred, used and lost for the “dove release” business sometimes have phone number bands and returning them is no favor to the bird.
If you find a pigeon whose band says “pet” or “rescue” or has a name or phone number, the odds are more likely that the bird could be returned safely but not always. Pigeon rescuers have learned the hard way that it is better to provide a safe, non-exploitive home for rescued sport/business pigeons than to return them to their exploiters. Palomacy PIGEONRESCUE.ORG bands are inexpensive, easy to use, come in dove, pigeon & giant pigeon size & can help your lost bird get expert help ASAP.
Many kill the pigeons themselves and/or sell “surplus” pigeons to be used for “dog training, falconry, target practice, meat, whatever”, as they say in their online ads. They expect to lose many young birds in their training flights and many more in the competitions (“let the basket cull for you”). They will kill a weak or runty baby pigeon in the nest. Pigeon breeders pride themselves on their tough culling (killing, selling, rejecting) of “inferior” birds. As soon as one gets lost, hurt, blown off course, hawk-struck, etc., they are worthless and unwanted. Pigeons used for sports and business are treated as disposable. If returned to those who endanger them, they are more often than not culled for being both a failure and a threat to the other pigeons’ health and bloodlines. The information on most banded pigeons is coded and only intended to record “winners,” not to recover “losers” which are what the lost, starving, injured leg-band-wearing pigeons are considered to be. The vast majority of pigeons with leg bands are domestic birds, unable to survive on their own, that are bred, sold, exploited and endangered for “sports” such as racing and roller flying and businesses such as “ dove release.” If a banded pigeon is hanging around or catchable, they need to be rescued. Starving, lost pigeon racing survivor, now named Woot, found help & love.
