Homeing Pidgeon Anonymous
Hey, /an/.
I've got a wierd story.
Inbetween our house and our neighbours, is a nice little sheltered roof. Pidgeons fucking LOVE roosting there. So, against my constant protesting that they are animals too, my dad shoots them to get them to leave. Sadly, they're too stupid to realize it, and just keep coming back to get shot.

So, recently i cracked a rib and fractured my shoulder, and am stuck in bed. I came down one morning to find a note on the table reading "Pet in cage downstairs. Yours now." He obviously meant my Degu cage, now uninhabited. I decided to take a look, thinking it was just a crude joke, but curious none-the-less.
I get into the basement, and what do i find, but a baby pidgeon with it's young feathers still in. so i ring up my dad and swear at him, wondering what kind of sick fuck he is doing that. He claims that it must've been that the mother pushed it out to learn how to fly, or it just fell out of it's nest. So now he says he wants me to teach it how to be a homeing pidgeon. I'm bed ridden I might as well do something.

And that is why I'm here. I need help /an/. serious help. I have no idea what to do. anyone have training or experience in this sort of thing?

Shit, OP. That's a good amount of pigeon care for now, but I'm not sure how you'd train it to be a homing pigeon.

homing pidgeons are bred much much much more than they are raised. But if you keep it a cage out side once with a roost for awhile then you should be able to remove the cage and let him fly around, he'll come home to roost, thats the basics of it. As for ever taking him across country and letting him go so that he can find his whay home for your amusement? I would not bet too much on that ever happening.
