Phil love that website notmilk. I am a believer of not eating or drinking other animals flesh or milk. It's hard sometimes trying to find food, but I seem to manage. It's just a little more expensive. thanks for the link.....Andi

Anyone Here Think That Maybe The Member, Dovena, Is Possibly Mr. Enright. Just Reading From Other Post "25 Pigeons In Manhattan" And The Issue That Mr. Enright Had. Not Once Did "dovena" Ever Reply Or Post, Even With The Same Issues. Seems A Little Odd, Again Maybe It's Just Me.

Hi Grimlock,

Red & Dovena are two different people, some of our members know them individually.

Welcome to the forum by the way though!

Sounds like a book to me. Sorry Red is Red & Dovena whoever she is needs some help before her pigeons are put down also.

I just got through reading the thread for the first time. Was crying over what happened to the birds 4 years ago. Then I come to post #25 and I click Dailybreeze and it shows the article of Red dying Oct 19,2009. I thought I was still reading 2005 so imagine my shock. So sorry about Red and the pigeons. I hope it can be stopped before they kill these other birds that he has collected since 2005. Also, if I can help in anyway, please let me know. mindy

I found out this afternoon that it was our member, Bruce, who went and got the pigeons. Thank you, Bruce! The birds are safe with Bruce, but we will need to be finding a home for them very quickly as Bruce is already overloaded with rescued pigeons. I should have realized that it was Bruce when I first found out a landscaper had taken them in.

My friend, Jane, is already working on arranging for a place for these birds. Hopefully they will be going to the sanctuary in Malibu, but additional enclosures have to be built and great care has to be taken that we don't introduce illness into the Malibu pigeons again .. they have already been through enough.

If it turns out that additional homes have to be found for these birds, I will definitely post that here.

Hi MINDY,On my computer I see no post #25 infact your post comes up here on my computer as post#18.Ever since they put in this system I am having problems with some of the longer threads. Has anyone else had problems? ....GEORGE

[Mindy]

George I was referring to number post #25 Terry has a link on there for the Dailybreeze.com/news article and I clicked on that thinking I was going to see the article written back in 2005 and just by coincidence I think, it was the daily breeze article for Oct 19 and it just happened to be on where Red died. So the link must change daily. But when I had been reading about 2005 for several post, I was just caught off guard and then I thought Red had died in 2005, then I realized it was 2009. But I haven't had any problems with long threads, but I will check some out and see if I do. mindy

This is really sad. He obviously loved pigeons. I mean no disrespect, but I'd like to think Maggie has a buddy now.

You just might be right, and I hope the two of them are trying to help us now in placing and caring for all these pigeons!

All these stories are so sad, I can't stop crying, but is a God there, and I'm sure every person that did something to these birds will pay for it, I'm really sorry for what happen to this man, is the first time that I read this thread, unfortunately I can't take any pigeon, but I can offer transportation in North California, I think many of our members didn't read about this, I'll start sending emails to every one, I hope everybody can start helping here.

"I can't stop crying, but is a God there."

IMO I think so, and now the man can have as many pigeons as he wants, without disease and filth....poor fella,he just could not say no or stop himself, but perhaps they are all together in a better place.

[TAWhatley]

Guys/Gals .. we've got a member here (Bruce) who is now OVERLOADED with birds. We're working on a place for them here in So Cal BUT if anyone would just love to adopt some of these birds .. please don't be shy!

This also is a good reminder why people HAVE to set limits, BEFORE the situation gets desperate.
