well you clearly have bacon... so step 1 is done...
Yep. I guess step two would be the cheese, then spark that grill and crack a beer.
Step #1, stop feeding it potatoes
Yes I've told my bil to stop that. Definitely not helping. Also told him to stop cutting his eggs up like a toddler.
Had a similar thing happen back when I lived in Midland. Kept hanging around our backyard (fence, roof, pool area) and would not leave. Afraid my daughters may have fed it. I got out my binoculars and was able to read a phone number on the leg band. Told the guy "I think I have your racing pigeon", his reply was "if it didn't come home I don't want it".
So I finally catch it with the pool net and put it in a cardboard box. The next morning I take it to work with me to downtown Midland where there are lots of pigeons and I was going to let it go. It's a 10 mile drive. The box was in the back of my pickup and when I got there the lid was off but he was still in the box, just waiting for me.
So I get him out and he flies off downtown.
That night I get home and guess who was waiting on my back fence!
I finally had to get mean and kept throwing a beach ball at him till he got the message and left and never came back. So good luck!

You couldn't find anything harder than a beach ball?
These guys have plenty of experience in that realm, but I don't know about their success rate:
Yes I tracked down the owner via the band and got the same response. Seems like a pretty ****ty sport if you ask me.

Be pretty funny if the person who made that call was a gw and showed up at his door a couple hours later with a ticket for knowingly releasing feral/invasive species.
That is what I would do. Call the game warden first and see what they say. Then call TPWD and see if they have any ideas.
10 posts and no pew pew suggestions. Wtf OB

He's protesting and not gonna leave until you stop eating eggs.

TIL that a racing pigeon is a thing
Same thing happened to my mom and step father. They were never able to get rid of it until a hawk came by and solved that problem for them.

Text the guy this pic
This is the post that bothered me the most -- the crack on the egg cut up. I do the same to get the max distribution of yolk, hot sauce and whatever else I have working with the eggs. I thought everyone cut up their fried eggs.Stan Crowch said:

From the lost battalion?
So there i was in the south China sea, just enjoying my day, when several pigeons with multiple bands and Chinese stamps all over them decided to make my good vessel home. Well that just isn't gonna work given the nature of the vessel. Being as trusting as they are, they let me get close enough to thwack em with a broomstick. One of ems head came clean off and popped straight up in the air. They had stamps all over the top and underside of their wings and several bands that I am not sure was the purpose of, but we didn't keep em around long enough to find out. They were probably just racing pigeons but who knows.

Am I looking at a bunker off to the right? You living in an apt overlooking a golf course complaining about pigeons?
