What is this, is it a pigeon or something?
It's going to get killed by my dog if its not too careful, it keeps landing about a foot in front of the dogs nose and there's been some very close shaves. It has a green ring on one of its legs, does anyone know why?
If its a racing pigeon does anyone know how I can trace its owner, its been trespassing in the Wolfs garden about a week now and it has to go or it'll only end in tears and a lot of flying feathers.

Looks like a scruffy white pigeon suffering from malnutrition and a bad back...

Being a keen bird watcher I can assure you it's a DOVE :yes: :yes:
:rip:
Hmm, well the inevitable happened this morning. I got back from a short bike ride today to be summonsed to the back garden to assist Mrs Wolf in removing said Dove/Pigeon from the mouth of my devil dog.
The aforementioned devil dog was just sat there pleased as punch refusing to release its trophy which it had been gripping for a good 20 minutes despite the best efforts of my other half, Mrs Wolf who I hasten to add was disgusted at the dogs behaviour.

Poor little thing, at least it was probably a quick kill. We are now going to get the devil dog a bell so he can be the laughing stock of all the neighbourhood cats.

? Huh??
Doggie did what doggies do - and what Wolfie predicted!
Nature....PMSL....!!
Winston, yeah I hear you loud and clear but the poor little thing is dead. My wife's still not talking to the dog and she keeps referring to it as a murderer!
Maybe the dove had just had enough of this crazy world, after all, it can't ride bikes can it?
Perhaps it was a suicide by dog type of thing?!?
The dog has done what its instinct told it to do...that's life...and death
I'm with winston PMSL
Here ya go Steve

I have to say - this post is quiet funny!
obviously the bird didn't like the number 13 either - although lucky for the dog...
:-)
I guess you could say its an Ex-dove!

//Lovely plumage !!!!

Joking apart it was still a lovely bird and one of God's creatures and it's a terrible shame that it met it's demise in my garden while it was minding it's own business eating some mealworms. I need to try and trace it's owner from the ring on it's leg and deliver the sad news. :cry:
And risk a civil action for "Dangerous Dog" offences ? ..... " I put it to you officer that ......" :mfr_lol: Good Luck Steve !
It was on private property.......no offences. :whistling:
Is there anywhere private these days ???? :whistling: :whistling:
the mealworms were also God's creatures,, karma !!!!

I trust it was duly barbecued? :whistling:

Sadist!
I can just imagine the scene ....... cute white bird sat there , frozen to the spot in fear while big freighening dog comes bounding up teeth snaring , then just before the dirty deed happens, in background on radio you here Orvil " I wish i could fly , right up to the sky .... but i cant " :mfr_lol:
a few years ago one of my cats was trying to get through the cat flap with a big pigeon.
fortunately it was sideways in his mouth so wouldnt fit!
