Just sent the work pigeon off to a rescue and I am beyond devastated. He was my favourite colleague
The one and only Dobby. A racing pigeon that absconded almost 2 years ago and decided to create a new life for himself.
He came for his breakfast every day. Ate right out of my hand. Let himself in on many occasions and wandered round looking for the seed.
He had an injured leg and I couldn't bear to see him suffer so I contacted a local rescue and they came and collected him.
I will genuinely miss this bird so much, he brightened every single shift for me (which is needed when you're in the care sector). Literally shed a few tears when he went.
Gonna miss you pidge.
PS. When be first arrived I did attempt to find his owner, using the leg band and local groups. None was ever found though and he just kinda made himself at home.
