I’d like to introduce you to a special little fella who I’ve named Mr Tippler.
He’s a Highflyer Tippler breed and he was found in a garden, lost and ill, and was then brought to the wildlife rescue centre (where I work) for care. He’s been with us for over a month now and is still ill, however, he’s receiving his medication and is being support fed, and he’s gradually putting on weight.
At first Mr Tippler absolutely hated the sight of me and would attack me viciously. Even though he was so thin and weak he still had the energy to tell me off! But after Mr Tippler realised that I am the bearer of food and good will, he started to warm to me, and now he greets me enthusiastically when he sees me! Love it! 
Mr Tippler was found about 70 miles away from his home. I found the number of his owner stamped on his primary flight feathers and called the number to let the owner know we had his pigeon but that the pigeon is ill and not ready to be returned yet. The owner thanked me for letting him know but said we were too far away to arrange collection and that I could keep the pigeon. Fair enough, I guess.
So we’re caring for our special little guy and willing him to get better. He’ll be at my work for a long while I think before he’s ready for his new home. I must say the highlight of my job now is to be greeted and have my fingers nibbled by friendly Mr Tippler!
I am going on my hiloiday on 29 th Aug and on my return I am going to build a small loft for tipplers.
I will gladley give Mr Tippler a home once the loft is ready.
I live in Norfolk so hope this is not a problem.
Kind regards
Anthony
Hi Anthony, thank you for the offer. That’s very kind of you. Mr. Tippler has been with us for 8 months now and still isn’t showing any signs of recovering from PMV nervous symptoms (e.g. twisted neck), although he’s no longer ill. He may be permanently disabled now and isn’t able to fly at the moment because of lack of coordination, so he’ll remain in the aviary at my work. But thank you once again for your offer.

Hi, as I had already mentioned in the comments section, this pigeon is still disabled and has a home already at my work. But thanks for offering.
