Well i don't know if i count as your age, being 17, but i just wanted to say:
DAMN I'M SO JEALOUS OF U ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always loved pigeons. When i was 14, i started thinking of having some as pets when i live on my own. Then i said why wait, convinced my parents, and started planning. That was about 2 months before my 'O' levels, so i had to wait. Summer comes and we start building their loft, -_- two summers later and we just finished.

If i'm lucky i'll finally be getting a pair next week. And its about time too.

...and some of u are in pigeon heaven and you're thirteen....*Jealousy*

Hi Adrian,

I might be a little too old to be posting in this thread, but I can't help but cringe at the statistics that you posted above. I hope you have taken a look @ the access problem to your pigeons that your dog has and taken some steps to correct the situation. Many folks here have other pets along with their pijies and make sure that the other pets don't have the opportunity to do harm that their natural instincts drive them towards.

Please, for the sake of your birds, take a long hard look at how your dog is able to be more successful in doing your birds in than you are at raising them and keeping them safe and healthy.

Wow Lisa, that must suck. I don't count age wise either, I'm 18 and starting college! Which sucks, let me tell you...
My dad didn't want me to get pigeons. Actually he didn't want me to have anything except laying chickens, horses, and cattle, but that idea got shot. I went out on my own and bought four pairs of Baldy Rollers and through them out in a large pen. When he noticed them, two weeks later, he turned them all lose. To his surprise, they didn't go very far. Sure some flew away, but some wouldn't leave the pen!
I was mad. I yelled at him, saying that I was no child (because I wasn't, I was 17) and he had no right to release birds that I bought, with my own money, and that he had nothing to with!! When, in fact he DID have a right to turn them loose, but he said what was the point, they weren't leaving, anyway. After that, everything's been just kosher with the birdies!

Hey, did anyone notice this thing was started over a year ago?

[Lisa C.]

Good point, i only just noticed the thread today

Every time i got out with my best friends we usually stop to feed the pigeons. So when i told my father he simply looked at me as if i were a crazed todler and sweetly told me, "we'll see about it" he prob thought i'd let the matter drop.

Luckily my father is one of those docile types, and i'm the perfect, obedient, helpful, never complaining child. Compared to the arrogant unsatisfied irritation i have as a brother, they tend to appreciate what i do.
so if i insist enough i usually get what i want.

btw, how big is your house if your father took that long to realize. 0_0

I live on a farm. I put them in an old chicken pen that's half hidden by a big willow, and it was when one took off that he noticed them. He generally didn't even come down there. Now he does because he went out a month later and ordered a bunch of chicks. So now we have chickens in that pen, and my pigeons are elsewhere.

[fantailgirl]

Oh yes, the *perfect one*. We have ALL used that excuse! Lucky for me, I'm the perfect one in my family too , but my dad isn't the docile type. So we battle over what happens next, and my defense against him is "I FEED YOUR COWS!!!" Which usually means I lose that chore for a week, then I come home after party and all I hear is cows bellowing because they hadn't been fed. So, yeah, if I fight for it, or just bring it home and pay for it, I win. He's alot better than he was. He said that me and my sister could only have four "worthless" animals each, well that idea was shot as well. We now have over a hundred rabbits, 20 pigeons, a dove, and (of course) the Four Peacocks. My mother had a huge say in this as well, seeing as how she breeds rabbits with me.

If you're wnder why the heck I have so many rabbits, I show them. Alot of people don't seem to understand that consept (sp?).

[Lisa C.]

wow, thats a lot of pets.

We live in a large central town, (that is if ne thing on an island with a pop of less than half a million can be called large), and though my family love pets we're limited to small numbers.
Over the years we've had:
2 dogs
1 cat
4 budgies
2 canaries
2 hamsters
1 cockatail
2 goldfish
and 1 rabbit.

It must be great living on a farm, but how do u cope with working and school?

[rosey_love]

Your 24 Elvis? lol I thought you were younger...

[fantailgirl]

We have the following:
5 cows
4 '05 steer calves
3 '04 steer calves
1 '05 heifer
1 '04 heifer
1 '03 bullock
~sum of 15 head of cattle

2 geldings
2 mares
1 '01 stallion
2 '05 fillies
~sum 0f 7 horses

over 100 rabbits(I'm not even going to count there...)
alot of chickens
alot of pheasants
four peacocks
twenty pigeons plus 2 eggs (yea!!!)

Four dogs
a cat
a snake
and a praying Mantis named Eddy
Most of them I wouldn't consider as pets. I mean, you can't make a pet out of steer and then be able to eat it, would you? And trust me, we eat alot of beef over here!
I live outside a small city (pop. 20,000) that no one has ever heard of. Kinda nice, yet not, because you know everyone.
I'm not sure how my nerves stand out to college, work, and friends. I guess it's the little things, like knowing that two pairs of my pigeons layed an egg a piece and are sitting on them! I can't wait until they hatch. But yeah, most of my day is spent taming the calves down. My show steers for next year are now following me everywhere and are reaching that "pet" limit. I'm going to cry when I send them through the auction ring *sniff*. Unless one runs me over, like the one last year did. I hold grudges on those beastes for a long time, I was not unhappy to see him go!
No, what stresses me out the most are gas prices! It took $25 to fill up my tank!! $25!!!!!! That's a frick'n world record for my Escort! It only used to take $17, now it's $25!!! That's $100/month just for gas!! I don't get paid enough for this! I still have to pay insurance, payments, cell phone bill, buy pigeon food, rabbit food, and pay for books and classes! Ahhhh, thank the heavons above that I got a hefty amount from my steers at fair this year! I have an extra $2500 spending power back-up in the bank thanks to them.

[Lisa C.]

Run over...ouch that must have hurt.
And i know what u mean about grudges. We took care of a dog for a friend of my mother. She used to sit by the window whining. I pittied her and went to stroke her. and she BIT ME. I did nothing but glare at her till she left.

Money wise i don't really have a problem yet. When i start driving i will!! i don't know how much gas is here but tax just went up to 18% so its unlikely to be cheap.

Hey, u said u pay 4 school books? Don't you get a student grant?

I get , i think it comes $58, a month just for going 2 school

though money doesn't really last around me between books, manga and art supplies.
