We actually postponed shipping as he needs to go north. Louie is just fine and hanging out with the rest of the flock for the week. There will be updates and pictures when he makes his big trip.

Hi All

Just a bit of a update on Louie.

Louie was shipped from Pacafic Grove, CA this AM, and the Post office there has told us BOTH he will be here in Orange County NYS no later then 3pm est tomorrow.

Tori called this afternoon with the tracking number and said he was doing very well when she got him ready to ship.

9:58 pm est--- he had already left the processing center in SAN JOSE, CA.

His new starter home is all set.... I will set up his water in the AM so Ed <my husband> is all set when he arrives. I have to work till 8pm so Unless he is here before 9am I will gone. The boys will be happy to see him though I have already told them the he will need rest from his long trip and will be in our master bedroom for the day.

Wed. I will be home all day!!!

Good thoughts for Louie as he makes this long trip East.

Brightest Blessings!
Sandra

Ohhh! Please do let us know when Louie arrives! I and many others have been concerned about Louie, the shipping, and such!

Louie spent lots of quality time with my family before he headed out. I gave him a warm bath and held him for a couple of hours while he groomed my fingers and munched on some pigeon mix in a little dish. He is definately a "people pigeon" he prefers hanging out with the family more than being with the ohter birds. He was happy to sit with me for 2 or 3 hours unrestrained and I'm sure he will love his new family

Anyhow, I was stunned how easy it was to ship when the post office employees are polite and professional and understand thier jobs. I mentioned the trouble I had at my local post office and the guy's eyes got wide and he said you're kidding right?
They renewed my faith in the postal service

LOUIE IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

We picked him up at the Middletown NY Post Office @ 8:00am this morning!

I STILL have a bone to pick with USPS since they can't seem to do ANYTHING right. Louie was to be an OVERNIGHT delivery by 3pm and he was a second day for some reason.

He is so happy to be out of the box!!!!!!

He is eating and drinking well!!!

We start working on the Splay leg today to see if we can work it back into proper position!

Blessed Be,
Sandra & Ed

Hi All.

It has been a crazy day.

We got Louie here.... My youngest had a dental appt. Then we had to get my computer over to my dads.

Louie is enjoying the quiet though he has been here enjoying my lap this evening. His leg is splayed and I am not sure if it will be able to be moved back without more then I can Do. We will be getting Louie set up for a vet consult within the next week. He is Beautiful!!!

Even the ' keets are welcomed him.

As for my cats... Gwynne and Mozart LOVE him and are like " OK mom brought another bird home" Orion is still young so he is being introduced slowly.

Shawn, my eldest went with me to get him at the post office and was THRILLED... LOL not to mention all the people at the Post Office.

Will keep you all posted.

Tori...... Giving you a call soon.

Blessed Be,
Sandra & Louie
