King Caravan, Spring 2009!

[kippermom]

Maryjane, you are a hero in pigeondom!....and over the years have done way more than anyone could have asked or expected of you...Your willingness and effort to "stay the course" are inspiring to me, and hopefully to others as well...and while we wish and hope for more local openings for the Kings, we'll get homes for these birds....

I've alway liked pigeons and hoped someday to have a couple. Up until a month ago, when Flurry chose us for her new home, I never heard of a King pigeon . . . or even the word squab. Enter Flurry, then Snow, and Pigen Talk University. Then King-Care-A-Van . . and you want to try to help a little bit.
All these lost/found, and rescued pigeons are their own best advocates. So many people are finding PT because of them AND getting educated. Sooo very cool. I just wish it wasn't at the cost of soooo many of God's little creatures

I do believe the meek shall inherit the earth!

. . . and I shall inherit Tony and Doll

Thank you so much for your kind words!! They mean a lot to me. I feel frustrated not being able to help more. It's seems so STUPID to me that there are birds that I could help, but because some city official decided on a limit for my neighborhood, I can't do more. Of course I understand the need for laws etc., it doesn't mean I have to like them when they're applied to me hehe. Can't wait till I move to a country home, oh boy, there will be an aviary everywhere you look. You won't be able to hear yourself think, for all the cooing going on around. I have told so many people (and warmed so many hearts) about the King Care-a-van and what everyone is doing. People are always really amazed at what all of you are doing, in coming together to help. It truly is awe-inspiring.

Tony & Doll are doing fine. They are their usual glamorous selves- very much the Brangelina of my loft. Since Rocky (Tony's first wife and then later mistress) got herself a solid husband (Walter), Tony's been much better behaved and takes his turns on their fake eggs. Doll's happier too and no longer gives Rocky the evil eye!

Gatsby is doing well I hear, too, and seems to be getting ready to lay another pair of eggs for her Foster dad, Jaye.

I'll be delivering all three to Kari Jo either Sunday night or Monday morning (depending on what works best for her).

Hang in there, folks! I know it is tough but will be worth the wait!

I keep looking at the pictures of Tony and Doll(KariJo) and I can't get over how beautiful they are. Knowing what I know about Kings, they remind me of little chickens . . . walking around and pecking at the ground. They will be my new little "PICKENS"

I am moving their cage out of the computer room and back to the living room near the sliding doors so they will have more light and get used to us and the dogs. On warmer days I can easily move their cage outside to the deck for sun bathing , fresh air, and a bath (till their little pay house is finished).

I have a plane old grapevine wreath and I was wondering if it would be safe to hang in their cage to play on???

it's killing me!!!!! i have gatsby/daisy/ciel as my laptop wallpaper, so every time i turn it on, there's my girl....

i was telling trooper last night about her....and how he may be able to kinda bully little freya, but wait til the big girl gets here, and hands him his little blue rump!

he stopped wiggling around [ i was holding him] and stared at me. i know exactly what was going thru his mind--- 'for REAL? sweet!'

randy little man - he's definitely looking forward to having his very own 'brigitte nielsen' around the house. only hopefully she won't be a big drunk.....

So ok . . went to the feed store today and I found a couple of birdie toys AND . . a couple of peacock feathers! They are soooo cool! Actually they are for cats but I thought my PICKENS would like pecken at them. I also picked up some burlap bags to cover the corner of the cage to make them feel cozy. I hope Tony and Doll (KariJo) love their new tempory indoor home .

4!

While Tony minded the nest, Doll goofed off and had a little lunch...
