Happy Ending!


Thank you again, everyone!

We have a happy ending/homecoming on the horizon for this little one.

This little girl will be going home on Friday. Her owner just called me to make arrangements to pick her up then. The owner seems to be a very nice man who cares about his birds. He knew right off that this bird was a little blue bar hen. He also told me she is of the Devriendt strain/family of racing pigeons which he is introducing to his loft.

I'll miss this tough little lady, but I'm happy she has a good home to return to.

Terry

YEA! That's what I'm talking about. Good deal. It's SO much better for these guys/gals when they can go back home and be able to continue to fly like God wants them to. The birds that I've given members here.....don't get me wrong......I'm VERY grateful that they took them, but it is hard to take a bird that has flown here for a year or two or more in some cases, and send it somewhere that I know it will never be able to fly again. I suspect it bothers me more than it does them though.

Thank you, everyone! I just had a crazy moment and decided to write the story of this bird from the point of view of the bird .. I'm glad you all enjoyed it. Don't think I will be writing any books anytime soon .. I'm challenged to just get some captions on photos!

Wow, Terry! I was picturing the poor little bird flying for her life, then ending up in the pool. Thank God she made it. Thank you for rescuing & caring for her.
Is she back with her owner now? It seems I am the only one who wishes the pigeon stayed with you. I can't help but think that if she stayed with you, this horrific experience couldn't possibly happen again. She could enjoy a safe & peaceful life ~ without being chased in the sky.

Yes, this young pigeon is back home now with her loftmates. Her owner is a very nice fellow and was very happy to have his bird back. She is quite a spunky little pijjie and made numerous escape attempts while here with me even though she really couldn't fly due to all the missing feathers. The owner told me that she had claimed a nest box of her own just as if she were a cock bird instead of the little hen that she is!

Bet she's pleased to get back to her nest box. You expect the males to be territorial about their nest box, but some females are just as intense!
