Golden pigeon

I encountered this golden young pigeon today
In that case I am afraid s/he might have been sick or very tired. S/he was reacting to me slowly and would close the eyes a lot as if falling asleep intermittently. Gave me the impression of youth because the reactions felt like those of a baby bird.
As I approached to take the pictures it walked away first and then flew to a nearby spot. I didn't want to bother it anymore so I did not follow.
I didn't fully understand why it had a ring on its foot, as keeping track of all pigeons in the city seems ambitious. Does this mean that the bird likely comes from a breeder? You mentioned a 'dovecote' and I figured this meant its wild resting spot, but is this also the term for the place that breeders keep them in?
Interesting. I have some idea about how pigeons originally came to live in cities, but I don't know much about the state of dove breeding today.
I do see a lot of interesting doves near where I live, so I will pay more attention from now on to whether they have rings. Maybe I live close to a pigeon breeder. I have not seen the one in the picture again, so I hope it found its way back home.
perversions like ground roller pigeons
Oh..... wow. I looked them up and I am both amazed and saddened.
He’s square.
