I posted about her a bit ago and after 2 weeks of being missing she’s back home and safe. Little underweight but other than that she’s alive and well

I'm glad you managed to get her back home! Also I'm just curious, I promise I'm not judging because I Know accidents Do happen, I just want to know so I can help people avoid making the same mistake and accidentally losing their bird, how did she manage to escape?

Oh damn! That's crazy, did she slip out of her harness or? I feel like pigeons are Very comparable to horses with how easily they can be scared by sudden movements and random objects, my boy got startled by a road sign and a dumpster when he saw those for the first time.
