Rosco looks just like my little Acid-pie so cute!
See I was right it was too a moderator! Tressa are you a cigar smoker (like Victor intimated)? Little Rosco will be going to a great home.

Oh Treesa!
I just knew it was you from the beginning and you already know I voted that way from day one. I swear I am psychic. Always have been. I got it from my Mom. I could'nt believe what I read when I got on the computer tonight and saw your story of Roscoe but then I was not surprised too much either. I went and read through all your post with a lot of enthusiasm. Your story of him shows so much love and respect for that bird and so much faith in Victor and his family. It was heartwarming to read about how he came to you and started to fit into your life and how he came to be the bird who would take "Tooters" place. God Bless Treesa, you are one special lady. And Roscoe could not have found a better home where he will be loved and cherished with Victor and his family. What a great ending to the long and (exhausting) saga of Roscoe the pigeon! Cameron

I think your'e right about that one Pidgey. This is going to be a tough act to follow but I'm sure Victor is up to the task and he has a house full of people to egg him on, all with access to Pigeons.com. Who knows, they may even start their own pigeon mystery to get Victor's goat! Go for it you guys, it's time we all got Victor guessing for a change. Cameron

Treesa,
That was such a heartwarming story, I don't think that my heartstrings have pulled so hard since I read Pidgey's story about Unie. I know you will miss him, but, with the Slape Family you have never really lost him. You did good! Bless Your Heart Feather

Treesa,
Thank you for sharing the wonderful story of Rosco. He is a handsome fella. What a great addition to Victor's home he will be. Also sorry to hear about your illness. I hope you and your dad feel better soon.

Treesa,
Viruses are often just plain untreatable by either medicines or natural remedies. However, there is one natural remedy for flu bugs that seems to work pretty well in most cases--the Hot Toddy! Don't think for a minute that I'm kidding! Pidgey the... <hiccup!> Well-Medicated

Thank you all for your thoughts and comments.
My son has had a very hard time with Roscoe not being here this morning and yesterday morning. (It is good that they went back to school this week) He said "I realize now, how much more I cared about him, lil Rosco, Bosco...". I told him, yes, but genuine caring for him...means doing what is best for him. ...and that is giving him a happy home with little children, where his needs are important, which weren't met by his original owner, who just took him and gave him away after two & 1/2 years,... tore him away from three children he had grown to love. Roscoe is now found his perfect family.

However, I doubt that Pidgey would be suspected *sigh* I will sure miss the laughter, reading his INDIGNANT protests...I know, Pidgey, that you are innocent, THIS time, but I still think you're guilty...of something AND, Pigeonmamma may not want to rock the boat (she's so nice), but I'm standing up in the canoe...

NEW BEGINNINGS... Tracking # EQ 390245625 USIt is with utmost pleasure and sadness that I hereby relinquish all rights of my darling little misfit, Roscoe to my fellow pigeon fancier & rehabber, Victor.
Roscoe was taken to our main post office yesterday to fly the friendly skies to Omaha from Orlando. This is the hardest but the best thing I have ever done for this little guy.  Yesterday morning, I got the word that a flight would be going out at 11:30 P.M. Eastern standard time from Orlando, with other birds. The post office has no prior knowledge of an approved shipping for birds until the day of flight, and this was a good one!! All the other flights, I had inquired about each Monday before were too long, 2 days, 7 hour lay-overs, and I wouldn't go for that! Finally I got to talk to Sue who does all shipping of birds from Orlando, she assured me Roscoe would be fine and even offered to give me some of her customers names I could call. She sent truck, with an air-conditioned cab to our main branch in Palm Bay to pick him up yesterday and take him to Orlando for the flight. They are on a night flight because it is much cooler. This was the only flight approved for shipping, as the U.S. post office only has one airline here that will still ship in the U.S. Also, the airlines AND the pilot have to approve that birds will go on their plane. It will become increasingly hard to ship birds with the coming of the avian flu, so please be aware of this. So he left Orlando at 11:30 P.M. will have two stop-overs, and arrive in Omaha Airport at 12:00 P.M. today, and will arrive at the Omaha post office at 2:20. I pray that there are no delays. As soon as I got word yesterday morning, I gave Roscoe supplements, garlic later probiotics, spent time with him, and gave him lots of time in the aviary and porch, as he would be confined for a time being. I packed him up with seeds and watered him before we left. We packaged him up at the post office, in the shipping box, with a bit of seed and plush paper towel flooring, which he is used to having his cubby lined in. He was quiet and I'm sure scared, and I talked to him, as we stood in line waiting to get to a postal clerk. I didn't hear a peep out of him or felt any movement. No sooner did we get up to the front and did all the paperwork that the truck driver came in and took him away. I told the guy "Take good care of him"...as he rushed away. So, I sit here in tears...at my computer, me heart is broken... I didn't get my familiar morning greeting as I came into my computer room in the dark. But all is right, and all is well for Roscoe, as he now is on his journey to his new beginnings! Victor, Roscoe is your baby now, I know he is going where he belongs, around little ones and a care giver who will be as attentive to his needs as I have tried to be. Hug him for me. He can torture the hand unrelentless, but pull the heart strings just the same, with his small, but remarkable presence. "Parting is such sweet sorrow... Good Bye and good day my sweet little one"...

Many thanks for the update on Roscoe, although bittersweet for you.
Thanks, as well, for posting his tracking number. I know Skye & the others will do their best to help you cope with the emptiness you are feeling. It's always tough when we have to say 'Good Bye'. Sending a special hug from the Southwest to the Southeast. Cindy
