Fontana's Resting Place




I want to pick up Fontana from TAWhatley on Thursday the 12th.
Sorry I didn’t get to do this sooner, but had a new rescue that I think Fontana MAY have sent our (Terry and I) way.
I’ll show pictures of that one in the next thread (this one belongs to Fontana.)
As anguished as I am over the loss of Fontana and though this isn’t the form I wanted Fontana to be coming home in, I am still relieved to have Fontana home.
I wished I could have given Fontana a 21 gun salute but I didn’t think the local police would like it to much.
Hahahha

How wonderful for there to be a place, this forum, where our feelings and pain over the loss for a pigeon, is respected and honored.

That is a beautiful way to honor your bird (though I did like the idea of the 21-gun salute better. I can only imagine what people would be thinking - who's the soldier? Where is he? He must have been a great hero! Hee-hee. Sorry, I couldn't resist. ).

I personally try to find a quiet place in the woods where hardly anyone goes and bury the ferals that have passed away next to a tree. People probably think I'm nuts but I feel they've had it hard so much that I want to give them a nice peaceful resting place once they've gone. I like the idea of them "sleeping" in peace.

I would've done it for my "Garye" the pigeon if I had found her body but I don't know where she died or whatever became of her.

I am happy to know that Eartha was able to give my Julius pigeon a nice quiet place to rest. It gives me great comfort to know she did that.
