National Pigeon Association

I’ve found a pigeon……what should I do?

If you find a ‘lost’ pigeon please give it some food and water. Only contain it if it is injured or at risk from a predator.

If it will not fly away, you have the bird contained, and it has a closed ring with the prefix NPA on the ring, report it to Graham Giddings the NPA Secretary who will trace the owner. The full ring number which will be required should be similar to NPA 07 D 1352. After we have contacted the owner, they will contact you and arrange to have the pigeon collected. If the ring has the Prefix GB on it report it to the Royal Pigeon Racing Association as the NPA have no way of tracing the owner.

The NPA only have facilities for tracing the owners of fancy pigeons with the prefix NPA on the ring.

Please DO NOT report birds that are NOT contained.

     For pigeons rung with rings with NPA on

  Between 8.00am and 7.00pm only
