Great to hear about Dinskter and Beeka, Rallow!
I think it would be nice if you kept us folks at PT informed of any other prescient Dinkster "opinions." Like if he starts hoarding food, or urging you to move to Patagonia (because New York's in danger), or whatever. Or if he chooses a particular section of the financial pages to make his "deposits" on. Ha. I missed the posts following LucyLiu's passing, even though I was subscribed to the thread so that I would receive an email referring to every new post made. Something to do with the server, probably. The feral female pigeon Splitbeak I helped, was able to eat, but with difficulty. Couldn't keep up with the others when food was not plentiful. I had to sneak a jar of seeds for her to feed from, daily, in 2005, from August until I last saw her on December 16th, 2005. Larry

YIKES, I, too, missed the new post about Beeka! BUT, better late than never!
Yes, indeed, I DO believe that Lucy Liu had a wing in "bringing" Beeka to you! She is an adorable Checker! PLEASE keep us updated if she and the Dinkster decide to get together! OH, the stories... Of course, we all know by now that the Dinkster is quite the character! Now, we also know that he is a VERY smart pij who believes is stashing for a rainy or even sunny, day!! WHAT A RIOT! PLEASE DO keep us updated...I know we will all be watching! Love, Hugs and Scritches Shi with Squeaks/Dom/Gimie/WoeBeGone

Rallow - Beeka is ADORABLE! I'm soooo happy for her (and for you, your wife, and the Dinkster) that she found her way into your home and hearts. What a lucky little lady.
The Dinkster is just TOO funny!! He must be saving the engagement ring  Please continue to keep us posted on Beeka's progress and the buding relationship

Oh, how cute is that? What a smart bird the Dinkster is. He too must be worried about the economy, and the price of pigeon feed going up. That is just tooooooooo funny! Your little girl is a pretty one too. And she is indeed lucky to have been found by you, which I think is no coincidence. I think the good Lord puts in the paths of those that He knows will care for them, His special little angels who need care. It was no coincidence that Beeka was on that bench at the moment, when you passed by. Bless you for being the kind of people you are.

Don't let him read PT either - I'm sure the Dinkster is smart enough to read

Though of course The Dinkster is not smart enough to read, (I least I don't think that he can.) He now understands about a half dozen words and phrases. Once, about a year ago I sat with my late friend Pidge, (Lucy Liu) and determined that she understood and in some way reacted to, 21 things that I would say to her. I do not think that I will ever again see a pigeon nearly as naturally intelligent nor as just plain wonderful as she was. I believe that only people who keep pigeons as true pets rather than in coops, ever get to see the high degree of intelligent that these birds possess. It could be I guess that when they relate to and learn from humans, rather than to other pigeons, they just appear to us to be smarter.

Beeka continues to amaze me at how well she is adapting to living with us. She seems to be watching both her human friends and The Dinkster for hints on how she should behave. She’s learned from The Dinkster to sleep on our shoes and will go and sit in one of my slippers just a few minutes after I let her out of her cage each evening. She will always reach out to my wife and myself when we are near her cage by cooing and nodding her head. She is very cute when she does this because she is so small and fragile that everything she does comes out soft, as if muted. Her scissor beak is a problem though. For now I must take her to Animal General, the free animal hospital on the west side of Manhattan every two weeks to have it trimmed. This is not that difficult as long as I go and leave at the right time, before NYC traffic gets too heavy.

You mean they actually have a free animal hospital in New York? That's nice. And the fact that they see pigeons is great. Good luck with that little one. Sounds adorable.

Hey Rallow,
Howdy! When I watch others speaking foreign languages, I may not know the words, but I can follow much of what they are talking about by their body language, emotions, tone of voice, and such. Usually don't need to know or am not interested in what they are actually saying, so don't really listen, and find it easy to concentrate on other things. My pigeons knew when my wife and I disagreed, were hungry, tired, sleepy, ready to go out. When my wife is at the sewing machine, I'm not really involved in what she's doing. Once in a while I check the state of my stomach as to whether I am hungry or not, and is she going to cook or not. Once read a a book review in Time magazine on a dog expert. He said the main thing that concerns a dog is what other dogs think of him (the point being: sorry, you dog owners. You are not the main thing in your dog's life!). If you (his step-dad?) were so important to The Dinkster, why would he be stealing your money? He was planning for a down payment on his own pad, to share with the right, ahem, mate. LOL. Larry

Jay3,
It’s actually The Wild Bird Fund, which operates within Animal General that provides free care for pigeons. Here is a link to their website. http://www.wildbirdfund.com
