I've had to be out most of the day thus far but have just now talked to Orfan and he has been in touch with the lady who rescued the bird and will be picking it up in a bit. I'm sure Orfan will give us an update later today.
Many, many thanks for the help with this, Orfan! Terry Last edited by TAWhatley; 16th March 2007 at 05:48 PM.

Orfan, that's way nice of you to help out w/this rescue. Also, your bird--let's see, you're Orfan so bird is Miracle?..?...anyway, is a truly awesome looking bird, and I agree w/some of the observations I've read here. Sorry, just now catching these pictures inside the thread as the others at the link just didn't
'fly' for me so to speak.  Does seem to be a young bird w/the color of the eyes and cere/wattle and indeed is reminiscent of a white ring neck dove such as in George Simon's comments: http://www.pigeons.biz/forums/showpo...08&postcount=6 The other one that comes to mind because of the distinctive band around the neck would be the Band Tailed Pigeon which even though the name is reflective of a band around the tail which it indeed does have, there is also a distinctive band around the neck as well. Here's a link to pictures and information on the Band Tailed Pigeon that was previously provided by PdpBison, aka "PHIL"--the unofficial, yet PT official birdman of Nevada: http://www.birdphotography.com/species/btpi.html Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for helping out and complement you on Miracle. fp

Well, I just talked to Kam who originally rescued this bird. Dave/Orfan is over where the bird is and picking it up. Hopefully we will hear from him soon, but all is well
 Thank you Dave!I do have a nice, big, new cage for you, and we will figure out the logistics of that tomorrow. Terry Last edited by TAWhatley; 16th March 2007 at 09:38 PM.

just posted in the adoption forum...his name is "Picky" (don't ask how he earned the name, hehe).
Terry, I have a cage for Picky on loan from Josephine that is 25" High x 19" x 19" with a couple few perches and a ladder. Orfan never used his ladder that came with his cage...and Picky is presently swinging from it! I will get some photos of Picky and his cage by tomorrow. He is sure a lot different from orfan...whom I think is showing me a little nesting behavior the way that he/SHE is sitting right now. I will know when Orfan takes sticks from my houseplants and brings them into his cage that......she is a girl!

I still think Orfan is pure pigeon .. Orfan's human .. can you please count exactly how many tail feathers Orfan has as well as how many flight feathers (wing)? I'm just really curious ..
Terry PS: Pecky/Picky got all settled in for the night a couple of hours ago .. all is well .. PPS: Don't forget to get Josephine's cage back to her
