I met a pigeon hater face to faceI was talking to a guy yesterday while in the Waffle House from Topsail Island NC yesterday. When he found out that I had pigeons, he said, I kill as many as I can. Even had companies pay me to go kill them around their place. I told him about how you PT members and I feel about pigrons he got quite. Finally he ask to come see my birds ([robably to shut me up
 ). When he got here I showed him all of my birds. Even flew a few rollers for him. About 20 minutes ago he called me. He is starting to have a change of heart. He said he visited this site. Didn't log in just did a lot of reading. He said I know now why you and PT members are so good to your birds (Jokingly). He said from what I can see there there is a lot of love for the pigeons and seems like (Terry) TWhatley keeps you people in line. I said she is a birds lover and she works VERY hard for our beloved birds. Now he is thinking about joining our hobby. I have to admit that his change of heart has made me feel real good, even though i hate what he has done in the past. Jim

Jim, that's great. Sounds like you did a real piece of pigeon advocacy there!
I know one guy who is absolutely fanatical about saving pigeons, and battling with 'authority', and that guy used to take pot shots at pigeons just for target shooting. John

Good presentation...You showed him that these are not just birds with feathers...For some who don't realize how are the pigeons react and how they perform not just on the race or to show but there's a lot of other things that they can do that we human never learn or know about...

I was afraid to read this when I saw it last night, I wasn't in the mood for more horror stories about pigeons. . .but I wish I had as it turned out so well. It's amazing how just a few facts and stories can change people's opinions completely, or at least start to. I wear my "I love pigeons" shirt a lot and get a lot of comments that start out negatively and end up with them surprised to hear good things about pigeons.

Update on the Pigeon haterI got a call early this morning (4 AM) from the former pigeon hater. He said he is now trying to atone for his past behavier. He said that yesterday he put up a post 16 feet in the air. with a feeding platform on top. Has to use a ladder to add feed. He is doing this to help out the wild ferals now. Hopes it will make up for his past. He said that only 6 or 7 came there to eat yesterday, but should be a lot more as they find it. So glad I took the time to help change this guys mind about pigeons.
