it's difficult holding the bird in one hand and taking a photo with the other not sure if you can see her vent she is clean just this large swelling

I certainly see the problem etc George, unfortunately I'm thou, from my perspective down here it's not with the poor pigeon type of thing.

it was a nice pigeon mark, i remember when george bought it years ago ....it was a good well bred bird .

while she is able to eat and drink and vent stays clean i don't think i can dispose of her had her over 11 years

have lots of children from her

no reason to dispose of her george, if shes healthy and not in any distress ....

my oldest pigeon is an 05 bird, he will be 18 come the new year, and hes in good health and handles like a 3 year old.

hes the policemen of the loft who protects the babies if they fall out onto the floor , the other pigeons seem to have respect for him .

this is her just now

better photo

Does not look unhappy George, first photo a bit misleading.

Oldest pigeon I had was18 years old.

If she is eating and has firm droppings acts normal, then she deserves respect and a decent retirement.

If on the other hand she is suffering, would be selfish to let her.

Regards.
