Solo arrived last week from Michigan. She, I think she's a she, was living under the over hang on a guys house since May. She wasn't part of a flock but when the wild birds would collect at this mans feeder she would join them, but she would always fly back to sit under the eve of the house.
The fellow had been trying to find someone since May to take her but with winter coming time was running out and thats when we were asked to give her a home. Not only was the man worried about her freezing to death but the area had resident hawks & owls.
Solo has a colored band, so she most likely was a homer who got lost. She's not afraid of us as long as we don't reach for her.
Hope you like meeting her.

Hello Solo.... you are so lucky to be there with Robin.... she will take good care of you Solo, and I am sure you will be very Happy.... Very nice Robin...and one lucky pigeon....

Solo is a beauty Robin! Thanks for introducing her to us. I'm so happy that she now has a safe place with you to be pampered and well cared for. It was very good of the person who was feeding her to look out for her and be concerned with her welfare over the colder months. Do keep us updated with Solo's progress.

Solo is a nice looking pigeon. Did you try to identify the owner by the band number? It was probably a young bird lost in an early training flight. I don't imagine that the owner would want the bird back at this stage, unless he/she was looking to develope a particularly good looking flying team.

Thanks everyone for welcoming Solo & the kind words.

George thank you so much for telling me her correct color, I had no idea , we keep information folders on each pigeon and knowing her color will be very helpful to us.

Hugh the band she wears is only a colored plastic one, no numbers or name. I know that the man who rescued her was hoping for some contact info on it so she could go back to her owners.

Shi at this time we don't have any extra males so Solo will have to be happy with female companions... at least for awhile.

Welcome to Solo! What a very pretty bird!

Thanks for being so kind to her.

Hi Robin,

Anymore news and updates on Solo?

She's so cute!! I love her colouring and the white around her eyes. Lovely bird, so glad you took her in.

Very nice looking bird, glad you gave her a home.

I stopped in to cruise the recent posts and saw this one...
Solo is doing great, adjusting to the flock in that loft, she's still a bit on the fringe not having found a mate yet, but not getting pick on either.
I'm hoping that a couple of handicapped males will need a home this summer and maybe then she will pick a mate.
Thanks for asking Brad.

We all appreciated your update, Robin!! MANY THANKS!!

Mmmm, no eggs yet? Maybe Solo may be a MALE???

Guess we will just have to wait and see...

Love, Hugs and Scritches to ALL

Hi Robin

Thanks for the great update! I'm glad Solo has settled in well to the loft.

Hoping she meets a very special pigeon soon to fall in love with.

Robin, good to hear from you.

Thanks for the update on Solo.
