Update On Dovena Pigeons


I'm very happy to report that 26 of Dovena's apartment pigeons left NYC yesterday heading for Texas and California. We are hoping to get the remaining birds shipped to new homes after Thanksgiving and before the Christmas mailing crunch hits.

Well done, Terry


Well done! I'm sure you must've put in one heck of lot of hard work getting that kind of result!

Terry, I am absolutely thrilled to read this. You have truly worked magic. I know you are a super moderator but that needs to be changed to the SUPER MARVELOUS MODERATOR.

I know this helps make you feel better. It does me.

Thank goodness for that!!!!!!! Thank you, Terry.

Does Dovena have any breeding pairs left and, if so, does she understand/agree on the importance of replacing the eggs with plastic ones?

If not perhaps she would agree to giving them a 50% sprouting barley diet!

Oh! Excellent news!

I am very happy for Dovena, and for her Birds...

Good work..!

Who is footing the bills, if any, for the transport of these Birds?

Which is a busibody way of asking if passing-the-hat might be a nice gesture here?

Terry,

Are the remaining birds, that haven't left yet, parents and babies?

This is great news, thanks for sharing.

Terry, that really is just great news all the way around, for those who worked
OT-over time-that is to achieve the result, and also for Dovena and her pigeons. I'm sure she'll miss them but hopefully she will also feel a weight lifted as well.
