It would appear the Shelby County Humane Society is back in the bird business, at least temporarily. A report of an injured homing pigeon was presented when the group met recently. After previous incidents involving combative chickens on the courtsquare, Humane Society members were called to pick up a downed pigeon bearing identification bands. Williard Kyser, a member of the local Pigeon Fanciers Club, traced the markings to Newark, Ill. He believes the pigeon was in a race and became lost. The bird was transported to a Troy veterinarian who has a bird clinic.
