pigeon found in west midlands..

Have absolutely no clue about pigeons so please forgive my ignorance.

A white pigeon with grey tail, tips of wings, speckled around head..

could be a dove possibly? no idea..

He turned up down the farm where I keep my horses about 5 days ago and doesn't seem to be going anywhere! think he may have injured himself though as doesnt seem to be a very strong flyer. He also seems quite thin?

Ring number is wtc then a horizontal 60 then 1696.
Have had a look on his wing as someone said sometimes there is a number? but there isnt.

We're feeding and watering him etc. and he is being kept in a large dog cage overnight.
Wouldnt mind keeping him, but he would only be out of the cage for a few hours a day as there are working dogs and all sorts around. I have no idea if this is suitable? for him to be caged nearly all the time?

I'm really at a loss of what to do with him?

Any info/advice would be much appreciated! thanks.


Will try and attach a photo from when we found him..

hi ya mate could you check the ring number again as ive not seen wtc before some of the other members of the site might have

I'm pretty sure its wtc but will have another look tomorrow.

think its a fancy bird with a union ring on it, its not a racing pigeon by the sounds of the ring and the look of the bird..........

W.T.C. is wolverhampton tumbler club ring Mr Reynolds 01902 734104, he may know who owns the bird!! good luck

thanks for the help..
have been in touch with owner.
