Paul, I can't begin to tell you how sorry I am. Spirit Wings said it so well - "what a gift"..........to have had this little one for 18 years and it is a testament to your good care that it lived so long. I know it hurts.

You may want to consider putting his story in our "Hall of Love" forum. It is a wonderful place where we give honor to our departed pets.

That is sad, but you also feel happy, I will be happy to have my Jorgito all those years, you are so lucky, and think about all the good moments that you both had together, that is what it counts when we leave this world.

I too am so sorry to hear this news Paul. We never travel alone though - he'll be right over your shoulder forever, checking in on you. Fly high and strong Jorgito.

I'm absolutely certain that he felt you did a fantastic job of taking care of him, Paul, because you must have for him to have made it to be that old.

Hi Paul,
So sorry to read about your lovely pigeon passing. Even though you are surrounded by all your many new birds the loss of this special one must be very hard.

I'm sure he will be sitting on your shoulder and keeping an eye on you all.

Take care,

Janet
