I will say this...I was as exhausted as the rest of you. I had a hard time waking up this morning and still feel kind of foggy. Yesterday was very emotional.

It appears as though the Angels were sent to help. Our very own Arizona Angels.

Charis don't hide your wings we all know that you were the pillar here on this site.

Mary, You are quite a lady. We need more people like you in this world.

I do hope the members are remembering that little REPUTATION scales of justice in the upper right hand corner when thanking the Arizona Angels .......everybody likes a pat on the back for a job well done. Let's see some double green spots on these gals posts.

Fallen Feathers -met Jody


Bless her heart, I didn't realized she has done this for 10 years, rescue,rehab and education. I mention as soon as i take care of my situation, I will volunteer my time to help her.
I mention to her i do graphic , web pages and animation.
i will think of an animation for fallen feathers.
I brought over 5 more babies and pass with flying colors -no cankers.
1 baby just hatch and the other 2 babies about 2 - 3 days old, the other 2 were older.

thank you all.

You are a terrific pigeon catcher, Pigeon2luv! All of us are so appreciative of your devotion to helping these birds. You and the other Arizona Angels are to be commended!

Yeah!!!


Mary,
Don't forget the injured ones. I'm pretty sure there is another one on the side of your house who can't fly. I wasn't able to get to him with all the stuff and he was pretty sly.

The bottom one is the smartest one!
I have decided she is not white, or red. She is a peach-pied, maybe an orange pied. And mine is a red-pied with grey tail feathers.

You guys are amazing...I wish i could help too!

Forgive my ignorance,

But why do the adult pigeons have to go to people's homes to live?

Obviously the area they're living in is dangerous..so they need to be removed. But i wonder what would happen if they were kept for a short time to prevent them from returning "home", and then released to a feral flock?

Even better, if they were kept for a short time together, in a safer location, and then released as the flock that they once were?

It probably isn't possible, as i don't know as much as you guys...
But I'm just curious

From my experience working with feral pigeons, they do return to their home area.

Great work on catching three more, Mary
I will be in touch with you to make arrangements on picking them up.

As Kim mentioned, Don't forget the injured ones.

Your questions are quite valid.
The main problem we're having is this flock is massive.

Right now we're trying to collect the ones that have a good chance of being adopted & the injured ones.

The non flying ones absolutely NEED to get out of there. This is the next priority. They can't get food where they are if they can't fly, and could be starving already. Also the continued presence of injured birds keeps the flock coming back, where they can be poisoned by that meanie. So it went: orphans, fancies, and now unreleasables. More are getting picked up this weekend. We just didn't have enough carriers or car room to do fancies and injuries at the same time.
