Update: We’ve been home for nearly 48 hours and haven’t seen our pigeon yet but we’re not concerned. As we were driving home, we got a call from a friend who shed some light on the situation.

Apparently, our neighbor found an injured pigeon while working in Corpus Christi. He took it in and cared for it, bringing it home to Johnson City on weekends. As it healed, he began to give it a little freedom and it visited neighboring houses.

We can’t wait to talk to our neighbor and get more news.
