Pigeon looking for a nice loft near NW IowaHi-
I rescued a lost pigeon a number of months back. Wasn't looking to get into pigeons, but my wife and I thought we'd give it a try. Now we realize it is too much commitment for us - we're not home for days at a time, don't have a good loft for it, etc. We would like to find someone with other pigeons who would be willing to take in this very calm bird. I think it would be nice for him to be with other birds and since he was free-flying when rescued it would be nice for him to be in an outdoor loft that he could come and go from at least occasionally. He is banded and once raced, but his original owner does not want him back. He is 5-6 yrs old if I remember right. We live in Pocahontas, IA, near Ft. Dodge. We will drive several hours if needed to deliver. You can PM me or reply in this thread. BTW, why does he "grunt" repeatedly late at night? Is this normal behavior? Is that how they communicate in the dark? Thanks, Clay

Hi Clay,
You should also try our pigeon club resource: http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showthread.php?t=12825 Maybe you can find some other kind person who is willing to offer this bird a continued quality life! Thank you for your care for this bird.

Paris is a beautiful and distinguished looking pigeon. Unfortunately I do not have the picture anymore, as I was hoping to post it for Clay.
Clay: Can you post a picture of Paris for members to see ?

Onelast chance!Ohhh, come on folks, surely a member in the midwest, prefereably Iowa or Nebraska can adopt this beautiful former racer?
This is your last chance, or I may just go ahead with adopting Paris.

Well of course Tania! She somewhat suspected that this would transpire. We have been married going near 30 years now. We make it a point to discuss things that affect us. SHE encouraged me to get another pigeon or two after I lost my beloved Tooter...but I don't know what happend here. It reminds me of the famous saying,"BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR"!

Umm - so I think you have 3 pigeons at the moment? Well you need another to balance the equation - I am sure Bev knows this....
 I wish my other half, Colin, was as passionate about wildlife as I am - he isn't I am afraid - he would never be cruel to anything but he doesn't quite share my views. "Over the top" he says I am - I don't think so.  Well good luck with Paris - not that you were going to adopt him but you might!  Tania x

You know I was wondering if it might be 4 - well 5 is a good number too. A flock almost. I remember Barbie - she was the one that you saw down an alley and thought it might be not a pigeon but you went back to check and it was
