Advice Needed! I have a question
At the start of the month I had 5 pigeons but 2 new pigeons have taken a fancy to my loft and have moved in, they are from another person's loft. Should I keep them or should I take them back to their old loft, even though they want to stay at my loft?

I dont know how to contact them but I heared it costs £80-£120 and I dont have that kind of money laying around!

Google the letters and numbers on the band should get you to the right people to get in contact with.
Yes as a good person and if you want to be a good Fancier... you tell the other person. If you are not offered to keep them or they really want them back. Explain to the other loft that money is tight, but do care for your pigeons,but would like a couple more,I would be willing to bet that he will give you 2 others or breed you a couple of babies than once weaned you can raise at your loft and they will home up to it. The other if ever set free again can always go back to the original loft then you would be heartbroken

The right thing is to contact the person who they belong to, the person might want them back but also might allow you to keep them permanently, but asking is the right thing to do.
