Well, Victor, you too have experienced the apparent gap in reality perception displayed by our (relatively) intelligent pigeon friends

But a SEAL???????????

John, yes, a SEAL...In my opinionI seriuosly do believe him to be very lonely and in dire need for female companionship, the poor thing .

That could be so, but Flakey has shunned all the real pigeon hens he has met whilst taking a shine to stuffed toys and, believe it or not, a white toilet roll!

Those pic's are great kippy ! Reminds me of my "Patrick's" response when its time for him to go back into his pen after dusk, when he would rather follow me into the house... He can clamp down pretty hard as well ...

Oh my...I have lost my pigeon

Nooooooo...not my Tooter ...my stuffed plushy rock pigeon I just bought a few weeks ago!

I brought him to the office last week to show off, and that is the last I remember of the little blue beauty. I have looked high and low, but I have not given up yet. I am so stressed!

Hmm...Cute little stuffed pigeon...Victor, is there a chance he's been bird-napped?!?

[Victor]

Well Terri, I really hate to be accusatory...but...I do believe he has been bird-napped!I do suspect it may have been an associate at work that never accepted my appreciation of pigeons...yeah "one of them!" He is no longer working here as he resigned just a few days, but I hope I'm wrong and it will turn up.

[TerriB]

See, I was thinking more along the lines of someone who thought it was really cute and just borrowed it for a while. Knowing how pigeons are, I'm hoping it will show up soon!

[Pete Jasinski]

Sorry to hear your Pidgie toy's been "liberated" from you, I really hope it shows up again. I can see why it's missing as they are cute, I got one for Dudley and Glinda. Glinda is scared of hers while Dudley is enamored by his. He coos and dances around it, looks like the burger and Nemo might get put on the back burner.
I really hope your lil blue beauty shows up again,

My Lolita (whom I recently lost to hawks) loved her little white
Ty dove. I put it into the nest when she was sitting on eggs.
I miss her so much. I did a small watercolor of her on a 2.5 x3.5 card, if anyone wants to see her:

I wish I could find another pigeon. I found her outside theTheatre during a snow storm last November. I miss her so much - sometimes it is unbearable.
I can't stop thinking about her. I especially miss her in the shower. She would splash water all over. But she only took a shower once a week. She had a schedule!

Hi Lolita's mom - so good to hear from you. You are a terrific artist. I enjoyed the painting of Lolita. There are so few pigeon paintings around.

I hope you can get another pij. They certainly can make an impression on us, can't they?

Best, maggie

Lolita's Mom,

I did not know that you lost your wonderful Lolita, somehow I missed the posting. I have been wondering though why I have not seen recent postings from you.

I can understand that you do not wish to keep a pigeon always secured, but maybe you can consider a "special needs" pigeon that does not have a permanent home but needs someone like you to provide a home and love, and can return the love back.

I am sad for the loss of Lolita and I am sad you had to go thru that tragedy.

[TAWhatley]

Good to have you back, Lolita's Mom. That is a beautiful piece of artwork and wonderful tribute to Lolita.

Hello Lolita's Mom,
I'm heartbroken to hear of your loves loss, my eyes are welling up as I type I've been avoiding the board because I just can't stand to read of all the loss that has been going on lately, now reading of Lolita's loss has put me back in that frame of mind again. Please accept my deepest sympathy, you and Lolita will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Pete, I can relate to your comments. What I have found helpful is to look at the list of threads and only select ones that fit where I am at the time. For me, this forum offers so much valuable information. I never know when a chance tidbit will be helpful in taking care of my birds.
