[Hillybean]

pming you... Just to get little more info on them. -hilly

[teebo]

here is the info,the male feral is blind,when i rescued him a cat had him,his wing was broke and eye was missing,i started him on terramycin ointment for his eye for about 2 weeks,he is in much better health now,though the hole where his eye is ,is still open,wing hangs alittle lower then the other ,he is much fatter now,then when i rescued him.the female is a silver racer that i got to keep the male company...she is beautiful,,i clipped her wings about 3 weeks ago ,shes not nasty,just dosent like being held.the other is another very young feral,from another cat attack,but he is fine. he does wing slap and bite,but its funny, because, it does not hurt ,i laugh when he does it,him i let out to fly but, he sticks around the cage and likes being with the female,so thats why i think hes a male,the older male chases him around in the cage.please if anyone is interested please contact me....IF YOU WANT THEM...thanks to all concerned.

Hi Teebo,

I'm still working on it. How old would you say the young one is? Does the young one have any unfixable injuries from the cat attack? Also, the blind one still has one eye, correct?

[teebo]

the young one lost all his down feathers approx. 2-3 weeks ago ,last week he stopped squeaking,like a baby. he has no injuries at all .the older feral has lost one eye,i thought the hole would heal over but it is still open. his other eye is fine,kind of gross huh.thanks for keeping in touch.i can get pics tomorrow and send them to someone to post,i dont know how to do it.thanks again.

Hi Teebo,

Not everyone is able to take in more pigeons. Some of us, myself included, are over loaded with pigeons but somehow manage to find room for more when there is no alternative. Hopefully homes will be found in your area, but if not, then I'm sure we can work things out so the pigeons do have a home.

Hi Teebo,
I have been mostly away from the computer since Thursday and am just checking in now. My offer is still open, I was just waiting to see if anyone closer could take them. Is Hilly going to be able to take them? If not, I will need to know what to do about shipping, as I've never shipped before and want to make sure that it's okay to do for such a long distance. How much time do you have left? You mentioned someone in NY, were they not able to help? I know Rocky is unable to at the moment though she would like to, and maybe she is the one you mentioned from NY. So let me know and I'll be here. My birds are outside, but very spoiled and sheltered (you can click on my link below to see the "BIRDS" section, and where they live). I have several "invalid" pigeons who do not get picked on by anyone, so that should be no problem.

Maryjane,
I'm new to the whole shipping thing and I'm still looking into it. I talked to a young lady this weekend, but she wasn't for sure on a lot of things. I'm going to talk to another lady Monday. So far from what I've been told, I'll need a more ''exact'' location to get the price of shpping.

How do you go about getting a pigeon shipping box?

Just being curious, is LittleGreys (I think that's right) getting the female pigeon?

Maryjane, pming ya. -hilly

I pray someone shall take in these poor pigeons there life is in a new owners hands but we need those hands to come out and get them!

I would take them but im too far like I would keep them at my house till I found each one a loving home.

Come on someone save them!

Hilly pm'd me and she is going to try to find out more about shipping. If we could figure it out in the next week and plan for shipping next weekend sometime, that would be best for me. Will that work for you Teebo? And any money you can kick in towards shipping would be appreciated as well, even just a few dollars would help. I just paid a bunch of medical bills for my car accident (several thousand dollars) and am waiting for my settlement check to pay myself back, so that should be here any day (you know how insurance companies are) and then it won't be a problem but until then I am a little high and dry at this very moment. So that's where I am. But they are definitely welcome to live with me. Does anyone else know about shipping costs, and what day is best to do it, and how? Thanks.

The first thing that needs to be done is to call the Post Office. Tell them what zip code the birds are going to and make sure that they can be shipped. It's not as simple as it used to be in some places. The airlines will not take the birds if they have to switch planes. It has to be a direct flight from Point A to Point B. Next you must get a special box designed to ship live birds in. That will have to be ordered from one of the pigeon supply houses, Foy's, seigels, Jedds, Global. I didn't go back and read this whole thread so don't know how many birds we're talking about. You can buy a 2 bird box, a 4 bird box and an 8 bird box. Approx cost for 2 birds is about $27. For 4 birds it's about $37 and for 8 birds it's close to $50. I personally will only ship birds on Mon, or Tues. JUST IN CASE there's a problem. Never had one yet, but know people who have and have heard stories. Better safe than sorry. Once you find out that your PO will allow you to ship the birds, call them a day or so ahead of time, let them know what day you want to ship the birds out and make arrangements with them so they know you are coming. Find out what time truck leaves the PO. Don't put the birds in a box and take them at 9:00 in the AM when the truck won't pick them up till 5:00 in the evening. Show up at the PO about 1 hour before the truck is schduled to leave. Obviously, much better on the birds. Hope this answered some of your questions.

OK. Just read through the post real quick. You will need a 4 bird box, I see there's 3 birds to be shipped. The box has a divider in it so that the birds are separated. That way there is no fighting in the box. Good luck.

here is the kind of box you need.......http://www.eggbid.com/listings/detai...num=1158044941
