No Tail wasn't a domestic pigeon, he belonged to a feral flock of white pigeons (years ago they were domestic and their cote was destroyed when the owner died) and was away from the flock for a few weeks while his tail grew.  Yes, he did survive. I put a band on him and could see him when I fed the flock. But I agree that if he had been a domestic pigeon he would not have survived and releasing him could amount to an offence under the Abandonment of Animals Act 1960.

Have you considered contacting mike tyson for sponsorship? He loves these animals and I'm sure would like to help. :D

When you keep a pigeon in your loft for about a week they grow accustomed to that surrounding and think of it as it's new home. I'm sure that pigeon was lookin for it's way back to you.

you released a domestic pigeon. It probably wont survive in the wild.

I saw one with no tail this year but did not help it because it could still fly. I did watch and feed it though and the tail grew back in about 3 weeks.
