I am so sorry that it ended the way it did, Insomniac. You provided him with the best of both worlds, it is a shame that there are so many hazards attached to freedom.
He had a longer life that he was apparently alloted and a much better life, too. That second pictur is so joyful! Cynthia

Really lovely pictures and I'm so sorry Vega's life ended so tragically.
I agree with Cynthia. That last picture is very joyful. I'm glad that Luna has some company again.

I'm sorry you lost your beloved Vega. He did have a much better and longer life than he otherwise would have had you not rescued him. And he got to fly free each day, with his friend, which is what pigeons love to do most. Try not to feel guilty as this is a risk many of us take, if only to ensure that our birds are happy and doing what they love.

I know Vega thanks u greatly for giving him a second chance. You know , when their in their loft or next to us its our responsibility to protect them, but once they are outside its up to them and their instinct. Its not your fault at all , if u feel even at all guilty. Vega was very beautiful! i have never seen markings like that on any bird especially in that color with a crest. thank you for taking care of him and giving him a second chance

All I can say is that, I'm glad you gave Vega a chance at life. No matter how long or short it was, the bird had a chance at happiness. Vega is probably watching you from up there now. And no doubt, he will be watching over you like you did for him.
