Jellams !!!!!!! You can actually   keep it in a dog kennel etc, if it is of reasonable size & 1 or 2 pigeons would be quite happy there. What I would do just for the short term is lift it of the ground & bolt it to the side fence etc about 3/4 ft of the ground with a small entrance to go in & out which then could be shut at night & small enough so that a cat could not get in etc. A long way from what most of us have     here, but some times ???????    small is good. Till one finds out where eventually one is going type of thing.
PS, One day    I may tell you about the barbecue pair, they are written into history here.

If you want him to stay, you can keep him in a rabbit hutch until you get your loft and find him a mate.
You can clip he's primary flights so that he cant fly out of your garden you need to make a ladder with a plank of wood so that he can get up and down from the hutch.
Don't let him out when your not there as predators will get him.
By the time he's moulted those flights and grown them back, you'll have a mate for him, he will 90% stay with you.
I've had many a stock bird given to me to try out over the years and this is the method I use, this way the fancier that's given you the bird will not get annoyed when it keeps flying back.
good luck

How long will it take to grow them back?

Depends !!!!!    on many things Jellams, at this stage which you may not understand etc. Light/darkness system, how many/which flights, feed, time of year etc & I could add more to the list. Simple terms thou, average flight takes about 4 weeks to grow & a complete moult takes 4/6 months to be completed when they get into the moult cycle. Never starve them thou when they do start etc as you will never achieve anything that way.
