injured during their egg-laying period. If female pigeons 

 are chased in a pigeon house and roughly grabbed with 

 the hands or caught in a dip net, they are very likely to

 birds are able to roost high overhead, no attempt should 

 be made to catch them except at night, and then a box 

 or a step ladder should always be used to stand on.
