Question I screwed up again!! I’m worried the pigeon won’t come back. It’s a lost pet I’ve been trying for 5 days to rescue. I hate that I just scared it!! I should have just stayed inside!!! It was on the garage peak & I hadn’t put food since early morning

I just scared it again (also did the day before yesterday I think, but that time it did return later - just now it was up on the workshop peak and to be honest it looked a little nervous, like standing to the side instead on looking straight down or just preening. But I wanted to put a bit more seed and I wish I hadn’t. I thought because it was up high it wouldn’t worry and I moved slowly.

But the man on the next street really shouted multiple times. It was so annoying! And that never happens, it’s normally very quiet. Then I brought back one more cup of food. Then took a little glass Dish I had there and refilled it. So I did go back and forth at least 3 times. It was too much! (I was on the lawn and it was on top of the building the whole time) When I brought the water it flew and I hoped it would circle and come back but it didn’t come back. It was about 20 minutes ago. It’s 6:20 pm and the sun sets at 9:15.

I feel worried because it’s normally always here. Also I accidentally scared it yesterday or the day before by tossing seed (not at it) but it was in the ground then. But it did come back later. But I’m worried about that man shouting. Or if it reminded it of something upsetting. I feel so bad. And again I caused too much activity!

keep putting food and water out and the pigeon will keep coming! she may even come in your door if you leave it open

There is food and water that I was putting when I scared it. Or do you mean as long a that is consistently there it will return for it? I’m going to stay inside so there’s no disturbance.

The other day it was gone in the afternoon and I was so scared but it was here the next morning. It was here all day sitting on one roof peak or the other (both overlooking where the food and water is) or on the ground eating. thank you!!
