This type of ring is typical of those used on racing pigeons rather than on wild birds.

This is a captive (or ex-captive) individual - individuals of the feral Hong Kong population are not ringed.

Your bird is a Taiwan Racing Pigeon. See this photo of typical rings



TFPF is one of the bigger racing pigeon associations in Taiwan. The year number on your bird is probably 2008 and the bird number is 36??11.

Taiwan is mad on pigeon racing, the betting exceeds US$1 million per race. Many birds are lost, some arrive in Hong Kong (eg Po Toi) and often become lunch for the Peregrines.

Thanks for reply!
I think it would become another big lunch of a predator... It was so lazy to move, even when a truck comes by.
