Angry

nasty parents wont let me have pigeons!


lately my friend arron has got pigeons so we looked for advice and found this forum and its been helpful so ive been posting for arron if thiers a problem with his birds although,
i asked my mum if i could get some pigeons but she thinks they are not pets thier stray birds and she thinks people who have pigeons are gypsys "not been offencive to any 1" and i completely disagree i think pigeons arnt the most best pet you can get but they are verry soft and calm pets unlike dogs and cats. so does any 1 have any way of how i can convince my mum to let me get fantail pigeons because i like pigeons and think thier fun to play with and teach tricks , so i hope no 1 has been affended by this post oh yea my dad said the only place pigeons belong is in a pie! that really made me upset and non of them will listen , i dont want to go round arrons every day to just look at his pigeons ,just abit mpore info as well i have had hamsters before and i never looked after them like cleaned them or fed them my parents had to do that so i think thats why my mums saying no

This may not be what you want to hear but here goes...

Spend as much time as you can, learning about Pigeons. Spend time with your friends Pigeons when you can. When you get your oun place, that would be the time to get your own Pigeons and by that time you will know so much more about them.

WOW...You are a wise person to accept that you need to learn and have your own place prior to getting Pigeons. To have such an open mind, I'd say your Mum has done a good job with you ...even though she doesn't understand Pigeons.
You may be ready for Pigeons sooner than later!
Keep coming back here and learning from us.

Funny story James! My parents took ALOT of convincing, I started out looking after my grandads pigeons, I did this for about a year before I got my own pigeons. I did pester my parents for them in the beginning but after a firm 'no' I gave up and accepted I was just going to have to share my grandads. I learnt a load of stuff about pigeons form this website and after she saw how committed I was my mam actually asked me if I'd like some pigeons of my own.

No Gypsys


Hi FANTAIL 2009, When I read your first post I felt that you might be living in the UK if your are, later this year there are some large pigeons shows in the UK. You might try going to one with your parents it just might help them understand a little more about pigeons, and I would point out that the Queen of ENGLAND has a royal racing pigeon loft that has been in the Royal family for about 100 years and the queen is NO GYPSYS. ....GEORGE
