Found a Race Pigeon- afraid he will be killed

[BradleyGarden]

All of you are so wonderfully helpful. Gosh I feel like a scared new mother! Ha!. Anyway, no word overnight or this am so far from the owner. I got some pigeon/dove seed mix, and some gravel with oyster shell mix.. the best I can do. Anyway, I let my little friend out of the cage (I put him/her in their overnight) and there he/she sits - on the edge of the bathtub.
I also put in a round metal pan with water for a bath perhaps. I will let you know if/when the owner contacts me.

You are really going out of your way to make sure this bird survives. Thank you so much for all that you are doing. It takes a very special person to give this amount of care and concern, and you are certainly one one them.

Bless You!!!!!!!!!!!

[BradleyGarden]

I don't feel I am so special I was simply raised to always try my best to help any living creature that is in need :-)
What is truly a blessing is finding this forum and all of you to help me do that. You are all so very special to help me as you are doing.

Well BG - you ARE special - so start feeling it

Sounds like little beauty is getting royal treatment - and may be on his/her way to being a wonderfully spoiled piji.... LOL

I'm so very glad everything is going so well!!

P.S. Loved your album too!

Well, I think that this story will have a happy ending. A member of the forum wants to adopt my little friend. I haven't heard back with the details for our meeting (?!) so I am a bit nervous, but I am still assuming that she is interested and that she will be able to take him tomorrow. (Lord knows what I will do if this doesn't happen.) I am so thankful to all of you for your help during this, and I will report (HOPEFULLY) that tomorrow my little friend has a new Mom. BTW, I never heard from the owner of the pigeon - I take that to mean they didn't want the pigeon back. If for some reason, the adoption doesnt take place :-(, I will need to ask for help in finding a home. I truly cannot keep him.

I'd like to report that the pigeon now has a new home with kitcatsheart (forum member). She picked him up this evening and he is on his way back to his/her new home with her. She plans to have him checked out with the vet to be sure he is OK. So, this is a happy ending. Thanks to all of you for helping me through this offering your encouragement and advice. I truly appreciated it. You are a wonderful group. I was very lucky to find you.

Hey everyone sorry I haven't posted an update about petey yet Its last litter of squirrel season and its been a very very hard week. 95% of last litter dont make it and are usually horribly ill by time we get them So my week has been sad and trying on the soul. Petey how ever has been my little mood lifter my vet has checked him out and he is in very good shape. I'm working with him on socialization every day. Aside from playing with him I come to the cage every night before I go to bed to say good night and its like he knows im coming. He waits by the littler door in his temporary cage. he loves being pet but is iffy about being picked up. He does that little wig block thing but its less intense now. Everyone at my job absolutely loves his color. I'm so happy to have petey and I plan on posting pictures in a little while its my day off so I slept in today and haven't quite gotten out of bed yet lol. BUt I will def. Post Pictures sometime today

[spirit wings]

Can't wait to see the pics....I know all pigeons are beautiful...but i thought Petey was just a beautiful color, nice healthy looking too. everyone did such a good job of taking care he got a nice place, wonderful!

[Dezirrae]

Oh Cat - I am just thrilled So happy to hear that Petey got a clean bill of health from the vet and I'm glad he's providing you a bit of relief from the tough week you've been having. Sorry to hear about the squirrels - I know it must be difficult to handle. I'm sure Petey is going to continue to warm up and sounds like he's doing so fairly quickly already! I too can't wait to see the pictures Thanks again for giving Petey a loving home.

[BradleyGarden]

Cat - Thank you so much for the update on Petey!
I am very glad to hear that he is in good shape and that the two of you are getting along so well. I am so looking forward to pictures.
Even though I wasn't able to keep Petey myself, I grew very fond of him in the week he was with me. I have been thinking about him and missing him daily. Thank you for providing him a loving home.
