Oh that's some old year's color. They're out of fashion now.

Now all I see is red or white - though I did see a blue...

I hope your birds are not... shall we say (delicately)... old?

Nope they are juveniles. My bands are metal not paper or acrylic I don't know if that matters.

YIKES, GARYE! Mr. Squeaks just threw a fit! HE wears green bands (I found him as a squeaker in 2003). One band was numbered and the one on the other leg was thicker but also green...and plain. He MIGHT have been on a training flight when that car ran into him!

He says that almost FOUR YEARS is NOT old, he'll have you know.

He and I definitely think outside the box when the word "old" comes up. We have NO idea what that word MEANS!

Shi &
Squeaks (however, because of Garye, he is willing to forgive and forget your remark...)

Oh dear me! I had no idea that Mr. Squeaks wore green! Please do accept my apologies. I'm sure Mr. Squeaks still looks as youthful as he did about 4 years ago when that tragedy hit him.

By-the-way, where's the cape? Has he hung it up for good now?

No, I just changed for a short time due to a comment in another thread about racing homers.

I also hope to get a pic of him in his SPP cape by Boni...in due time!!

OK, you are forgiven...and YES, he DOES look the same!

Love and Hugs

I like Mr. Squeaks new pic, Shi....must say I was a bit surprised
not to see him in his official capacity as caped crusader, but even
heros need to get time off for exceptional behavior

Actually, Kristen, that was his original Flight Suit. I had to get one about FIVE sizes bigger than recommended for pigeons! Squeaks, being a racing homer IS a big guy and has a broad chest and hunky body! The suits were always too small. The one in the Avatar fit but also had a nice big "poop" pocket. It worked great too. I used that picture because members would often ask about "diapers" for pigeons and I figured a picture would help.

Boni's suit is much more streamlined. The bar across his chest has a big "S" on it and his cape velcros to the suit on his back. Really cute! Will have to consult my picture gurus for some pics to post.

The current Avatar picture shows him from his right side. That wing was partiallly amputated (no flight feathers) and his shoulder is slightly further back than his "good" side. Dr. Burke did a great job!

Shi
& Squeaks (I have a GREAT profile from either side, thank you very much!)

O.K., I am trying to figure you out. I am a pretty sarchastic guy and if you are just being jokingly sachastic then I appologize.

What seems to be your problem? Every post you have made in any forum I can find has been negative and full of ridicule to everybody and anybody else. If you are one of these guys that can't make himself feel good without making someone else feel bad...do us all a favor and go get some good therapy. Just stay away from the rest of us.

Now, having said that...if you are just kidding around and the others are aware of it and I am just missing the boat...then I'm sorry.

Dan
