This post is moving so fast my reply was already outdated by the time I got it typed, lol! When I worked in a vet's office and we received "wildlife," we always had the person dropping the animal off sign a release, or told them we could not treat the animal. This is because we had ducks, geese, etc. there a lot, and there was always a question whether they were "domesticated" or not. Sounds like the same deal with your pij.
I do think you need to pay the bill; if they accept your payment, then they also have to return your property (Myrtle). I am glad the rehabber is taking care of her, and it sounds like she is not going to do anything rash. So you have some time. Explore your legal options (sounds like a mighty gray area as far as pigeon law goes in VA). But you may also have to start negotiating with the rehabber now, as the vet has handed it off. But try paying the bill first. Last edited by ZeldaCA; 15th January 2008 at 10:09 AM. Reason: rapid new developments on thread

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!!!!!!!! WE ARE GETTING MYRTLE BACK!!!!!! I called the vets office and told them maybe it was a misunderstanding between them and my parents and that I wantted to pay the bill and I had a copy of the laws in front of me and it wasn't a law that we couldn't have her.
A really nice lady called me back and told me that there was a misunderstanding and they took her by accident and that we can pick her up tomorrow after noon and there wasn't a bill because they made a mistake. Im so so so happy!!!!!! Can't wait to see my Myrtle!!!!  Thank you each and everyone for all your help!!!!!

Oh wow! that is such good news! Congratulations.
When you get Myrtle back home, we expect to hear all about her and her exceptionally wonderful life (and even the scary parts like the trip to the vet  ).

I follow each and every thread here on PT, but never have time to post (Pigeon rescue center Lapalomatriste with 700 pigeons under my care...)
But now I really want to take the time to say how happy I am you get your sweet pigeon back. I could not sleep last night, thinking about Myrtle and how desperate I would feel if someone took away my TOTO, my 16 years old pet pigeon! I am so glad with this happy ending. Congratulations to everyone who helped in this matter. This forum is wonderful. Myriam

Oh man, I am so happy about this. I can't wait until Jennifer reads you are getting Myrtle back. She worked so hard. And, how about that.....no bill to pay !
You know, when you get her back, I would think seriously about not letting her fly free any more. Hawks can so easily hurt or kill pigeons and Myrtle should be just fine not flying free any more. Ours are.

Maggie is right. Please don't let her out to fly free anymore. We had a member post last summer and told us about her pet pigeon grabbed right off her shoulder by a hawk. The bird even had a leash on.That story didn't have a happy ending. Really, you can't be too careful. Enjoy her return. I wish we could all be there for the celebration. Wouldn't that be a great party.

Open Mouth, Insert FootFirst, I would like to apologize to Swetcountrygirl for making a statement in the other thread about payment of the vet bill. I should have read all the threads associated with the issue before making a statement as I did. I was so angry with the idea of some vet taking a pet bird without any thought of how it would effect the owner or the bird that I didn,t (should have) read the rest of the issue. I assure you when I crawl out from under the table, it won't happen again. Again, Please accept my apology and I hope all goes well when she returns.
 George

Hallelujah, Praise the Lord!!
 I'm so very excited and happy you're getting Myrtle back! And I must chime in with Maggie and Charis to say please don't let her free-fly anymore. She will adjust to living indoors. After her ordeal you might find she doesn't even want to go out. That happened with one of my pigeons after he got chased by a hawk, ingested toxins and nearly died. He's quite happy staying in the loft. Please do post some homecoming pictures when you can.
