Today I came into my room at home and saw... white pigeon on my table (attached photoes can be found below). It didn't want to fly away and wasn't really frightened by me or other people. It pecks a bit when you take it in your hands but nothing more.

It looks very young, but I think it should be able to fly already. I didn't see any signs of fracture or any other damage. Also it looks like some special species to me. It doesn't look like other pigeons in our town for sure. I didn't see if it's ringed, so I'll check tomorrow once more. I wonder if he/she is just too young or stressed or maybe ill (I hope not)? I've never had any birds before so my description can be not accurate enough.

It's becoming cold outside (around +5°C). Evening was close when I discovered the bird, so I put it in the box with some water and corns/bread for this night. I'll check his flying possibilities inside flat tomorrow :D

I already called one person and he will look if he can take it after Monday. I'll search tomorrow for other variants like local dovecots or something else. Do you have any other suggestions? Any ideas of what is a breed? Thank you in advance! Here's random GA [ENDED].

UPDATE: I found a new home for our little friend :) The person has worked with pigeons during many years already. He has his own big three-storey dovecote. I hope my dove/pigeon will be ok there :)

well, it's in Numerical analysis, and they have a formula sheet that we made for them.
so that won't help...

you know, the only thing worse than watching over an exam is taking one yourself. i'm BORED !!!
