good work and hi

[Noisy_minor]

Gday fellow pigeon people, my names phil, and i live on the Goldcoast Qld Australia. I recently rescued a baby Noisy minor bird, (had him/her 1 week today and is doing great) and in my search for infomation i found this site by accident. i am really enjoying raising this little one, although not a pigeon its a feeling that im sure you can all relate to. since i was a child we have hand raised many birds from cockateils, budgies, crested pigeons, minor birds, lorikeets and magpies. i was reading through the posts here last night for hours. and it really touched me that there are other people, that will go out of there way, to help an innocent defensless creature in need.

i decided last night that if any one does find a pigeon or any bird for that matter, in queensland close to the goldcoast i would be more than happy to take the pigeon into care, or give advise if anyone required it. just email me on philstanton@live.com.au

i just like to say this forum is awsome, and i am really glad i found it. good work guys.

cheers
Phil.

Hi Phil,

Welcome to Pigeon Talk,

I'm glad you are enjoying the stories. I hope you will share some more stories with us.

Thank you for helping God's creatures, it is a very noble cause.

Hi Phil, it's a real pleasure to 'meet' you.

Hi Phil, welcome to the forum. Thank you so much for volunteering to be a contact if any pigeons need help in your area. We occasionally have people who find pigeons in Australia and need help. We also have a few members in different areas of Australia but your country is so large that it is difficult to make a referral - so, many thanks.

Note to Charis -

Don't know if these will help you but some of the info may still be good. Daniel (Scuiry) started a directory in 2002: http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showthread.php?t=5095 and Terry started another one in 2004: http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showthread.php?t=8491

It would be WONDERFUL if this info could be compiled and maintained.

its a pleasure to be a member here and to be of sevice if it is required. i think its amazing that people all around the world can unite togather to protect those that cannot protect them selves. i was reading about Lit in israel, and couldnt help but think that pij probly would have died with out the help of this forum. and jayne that saved all those babys in london, (i think) and how people all around the world are making donations to help raise these little guys its truly amazing. soon they will get one from Australia (donation that is). i am going to begin a course which will allow me to legally rehabilitate wildlife, and its partually because of this forum that i have gotton off my lazy a#se and go and get the infomation required.

cheers to you all
Phil
