Finding the owner of a lost bird?

I found a dove outside of my workplace. S/he was huddled up against the windows and apparently had been for hours. S/he didn't fly away. I think s/he might be injured, or have clipped wings. It looks like s/he is missing some of the long, stiff feathers on the wings.

S/he seemed very healthy and looked clean. It also was pretty calm around people, but was not a fan of being herded into a box. Anyway,, I didn't want to leave it to freeze or get eaten, so I brought it home. It is now in my bathtub with the box (I put in some TP in case it wanted to build a nest), waterr, and birdseed recommended on a caring for doves page.

How can I track down the owner?

    Petfinder is a good place to put an ad for a lost bird you may have to word it just right for them .

    Be careful of people that claim it is their bird. Ask for an identifying marking or band number if it has one. There are some really bad people out there that take animals to Lab's to be tested on.

    Emphatically NO ,a chicken which could no longer locate that is way house is of little need to a Homing Pigeon Fancier.except that's of high-quality breeding inventory. Then they could choose it returned , in spite of if it may by no skill race returned.

    Print signs and ask if people have lost their birds.
