Looking at the condition of this bird's tail feathers.....I don't think he's been hanging with the ferals that long.....otherwise they'd be all dirty and messed up.
Ya Bob, If those banded pigeons are worth thousands of dollars you better get a yourself and dart barrel for that new FX impact and start shooting those birds with tranquilizer darts. . Might be big rewards??? You also better figure a way to cushion their fall from the top of those silo's.
Boy if I thought I shot some one's 4 thousand dollar racing pigeon I think I definitely would find a deep place to hid ( I mean) bury it.
Hey when you play that game and release the bird you have to figure ALL the possibilities. Part of it.
