We had a racing pigeon drop by our place a few years ago… we called the owner and apparently it’s the law(?) that they come and pick it up. The guy we called was based up in Scotland and didn’t want to drive all the way down so asked if we wanted to keep the bird and we agreed so it stuck around as a sort of pet for a few months and was pretty friendly. Sadly it never got habituated to it’s new house and preferred to hang out on our roof before eventually getting hammered by a sparrow hawk.

This site says to put some food out for a couple of days to allow the bird to feed but then take it away again to encourage it to carry on its journey.
