If nothing else, it is a touching story about an elderly man and his beloved pet pigeon.

Thanks for the link to that most inspiring story, Daniel!
My Coco also came to me during a not-so-great period in my life.
He is also red/wht in color!
He also blessed me and continues to bless me each day!....Truly Heaven-Sent!
We'll continue to pray that your bird is soon captured safe and sound!

Yesterday I called to see about the bird and they said it hasn't been seen, that was in the morning.
My husband went by there late afternoon to see for himself, and the bird wasn't there and no one had seen it all day.

I called this morning and the receptionist had no idea of the bird being there, she hadn't seen it. I called both contacts Renee, and Jan, and left a message and neither have returned my call (and they are there).

I really can't believe they haven't called, I don't know what is up with them, I think the courtesy of a return call is in order, regardless, of whether the bird is gone now. They owe that at least for the birds sake.

I just got a call back message from Jan, she said the bird is STILL there but not coming down and siting up on the wondow sill. My husband went by again today, and said he didn't see it.

Are there any pigeons you can release near the building and see if the bird joins them as they circle?

Hi Grim,

Treesa is out of town for a couple of days, so I know she won't see this post. Arrangements have been made for the bird if it shows up and can be caught by the personnel at the rescue place.

If you would care to make a try, please feel free.

Any update on this bird?

[Trees Gray]

We went by to check on the bird after church today, just before dark. He is still there hanging out between two buildings, and staying close to the second floor and higher. He flew off the roof and onto a window sill and then off to another window sill. I got some seed out and tried to coax him down to no avail. Then two employees came out of the building just below where the bird was and were on a cigarette break and I talked to them for awhile to see if they could tell me where his favorite sleeping area is, which seemed to be different locations. I also convinced them the bird was not safe and needed to be caught for his own good. They said they have been trying but NO one is getting anywhere, as there is no consistency.

I am going to try to get back there when I have more time, probably with one of my birds and see if that will spark his interest and coax him down.

Oh darn!
I'll keep praying that somebody gets this little fella soon!
God Bless you for working so hard for him!

[Grim]

Maybe they can set up a feeding station for him. Something as simple as a bowl which is kept full of feed. After he visits it on a regular basis you can come up with a trap. A wire trap would work better than a laundry basket or box, seeing through it makes it much less intimidating.

Good luck

I think we are ALL on pins and needles for this bird, Christin!

Once caught, twice shy...or so it seems...

Maybe he IS enjoying his "freedom." I can just see him thinking, "WHY are all those funny looking beings running around staring at me?!" OR, "Catch me if you can!"

As you know, from California, it's next to impossible for me to coordinate this effort and I was away last week at a family funeral. I was also sick all last week struggling with a potentially serious medical problem. I trust that someone here can talk with the facility director in Melbourne and take it from here.

Treesa, I offered this bird to you if you can rescue it. I leave it up to you whether to extend this offer to anyone else here who can do the same. I'm really not in a position to make demands of any of you, so whatever solution you feel works best, please feel free to do it. I just would like to know the end-result/outcome, especially if it is favorable. In any case, you have my blessing to do whatever you wish to rescue this lost one and place it in a loving home - yours or whomever else you designate.

Many thanks,

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well, and my condolensces goes out to you during this difficult time.

I will offer this bird a home, that IS NOT a problem, if we can get him back on the ground long enough to catch. He seems much more scared away then he used to be. I will try a few more things and will keep you updated.

I have called and talked to anyone who cares to listen at the Fountains, I am trying to instill in them to make this a group effort/team work, since not anyone person wants to take charge and since different people are coming on duty as shifts change.

Daniel, I'm so sorry about the loss in your family and your health problems. I'll be keeping you in prayer.

Treesa, bless you for your efforts. Hopefully with a lot of people trying, someone will eventually catch this pigeon.
