One of my other pigeon forums posted a link to a story that sounded familiar.... LOL!!!

I'm AM assuming that his story is on the web with permission.....???

It is SUCH a wonderful story....If you've not seen it before...do so now!!!!

Such a great story. Thank you for sharing it.
I am new to the bird world. I have always been intrigued by them, just never really studied them. My first experience was wonderful, my husband & I rescued a 'baby' Pigeon (about a week or so old) We were literally flying on a wing and a prayer with this sweetheart, as we had no idea what we were supposed to do. Five months later things literally went to he-- in a handbasket. On a positive note, I found this site.
After reading your story, I wonder if I might have made a mistake in that I allowed Whitefeather to join his friends when he was able. Perhaps if I had tried to domesticate him (see Suspect Pigeon poisoning) he would be with us today.
I miss him terribly. He actually looked a lot like Bernie. At least I did get some pictures before his demise.
Thanks again. Whitefeather's pal, Cindy

Hi!

You are most kind. That is the story in its earliest rendition, and yes, it was "loaned" to that site, by my permission, and at their request. I'm glad you liked it!

Again, thanks!
