Tracey,
This could be a lost homing/racing pigeon. If the bird was registered with one
of the major pigeon organizations (such as the American Racing Pigeon Union,
see http://www.pigeon.org/lostbirdinfo.htm) at least one of the bands should
have a code number on it. Some racing pigeon owners also band their birds with
a band containing their name and phone number or address.
