OMG..........you brought a tear to my eye!! Roscoe will be just fine. Just shipping a bird, pet or not is a hard thing to do, for me anyway and obviously you too. It's a constant worry until they arrive at their destination but so far EVERY single time I was worrying for nothing. Believe me, this is harder for you than it is for Roscoe. He will be just fine and within 30 minutes after Victor takes him out of the box, he'll forget all about what just happened. I can't wait to see pics and hear how he does with Victor. Just hang in there and don't forget that you did what was best for Roscoe,.

Hi Treesa, Victor...

That was a very moving last farewell you shared about your dear Roscoe. It brought some tears to my eyes as well. This pigeon sounded like such a character right from the beginning when you told us about him. He'll be very much loved at Victor's house so there are no worries there

I tend to think Renee is right and the whole procedure of shipping a bird is much harder on the person than the pigeon. Sure sounded like you made his shipping box as comfortable as possible, you're a very caring and compassionate lady Treesa

Well, here we go again...watching and waiting for word of the safe arrival of another shipped pigeon at his new home

Keep us posted Victor!

Hi Treesa,

Reading your post reminded me of my 'ordeal' with Beaksley, knowing that I loved him, even though never intending for him to show up or to care as much as I did. What an empty feeling after he was gone. He handled the transition well as I'm sure that Roscoe will, in no small part because of Victor and his family. I think Roscoe will be charmed by the 'pigeon whisperers' as well .
I know how you feel, but soon, you'll be getting lots of updates, and although you may always feel a bit of a twinge, you'll know that he's being well cared for.

Dear Treesa - I know just how you feel. I get that way every single time we have a release. Just breaks my heart. But, like you said, Rosco is going to a fine family where he will be well cared for. There is always a void in our hearts when one leaves us no matter the method. I can't think of a single person I'd rather receive a pigeon from than you.

Now, on to tracking!
