It's little G4's last night behind bars


Tomorrow morning on 4th Of July we go out on the porch at 0630 and our door gets opened and he gets to fly out into the big world for the first time. He's the little fellow that was found floating down the Truckee River a while back durning the big runoff/flood up in Reno. Wish him best of luck - I'm staying around all day jst to make sure he's going to be OK. I'll post some release pictures after the event.

NAB :-)

No fireworks around these parts


Too hot and dry - nearest fireworks are Reno or Tahoe and that's at least 50 miles, and nobody around my area would be crazy enough to light anything outside - been here 8 years now and haven't heard som much as a firecrackers pop yet around here. Besides I suspect if I leave his cage door open he will be back for lunch by noon, then I have to start thinking about an outside coop of some kind because little G5 & G6 are right on his heels to be released.

0630 is about the time the local feral flock shows up

And I've noticed a couple of new guys in the flock that are about his size - so that's the plan I'm hoping he will join up with the crowd while their down getting their morning shot of bunny food, now the trick will be getting out there and getting his door opened B4 the local ferals all split - I swear they can hear me turn the doorknob and they start taking off.

Well I haven't raised 3 stupid birds that's for sure


Well we tried the release this morning, but when the door was opened we came out and looked around and immediatly tried to fly into the window to get back in the house with our 2 buds G5 & G6, no way were we going out and leave our nice warm cage and food. Not a stupid bird, he only tried the flying through the window once, then he went back in his cage and stood there looking at me like I'm not going out there? So it's time to think about a Plan B.



I thought well maybe if I turn them all loose they will take off, but no way they just stood there looking at me like we're not crazy we got a meal ticket here and then they went back in their cages and started eating.



NAB & his welfare state pigeons :-)
