Little visitor

Do you remember soft postal pigeons in my Etsy shop.

  

 While my soft pigeons fly away from me, this young real  pigeon unexpectedly came to me.

This morning on a walk with the dogs, I found a nice young pigeon, it could not fly, it probably damaged the wing. He did not fear me, and was not scared, but he looked lost. He have  a ring with a number on his leg and I'm searching in iternet and trying to find out  who is his owner. 

For now pigeon  lives on my balcony and I hope he will get better soon and can fly again.
