Along these same lines, I will be starting to receive e-mails from 911 Pigeon Alert for unbanded bird or birds banded with private bands. I will do my best to post these birds on Pigeon-Talk in the hope that the finders can get the help they need here and/or find a home for the bird that they have rescued. I have no idea what the volume of these birds will be, but I suspect it will be fairly substantial.

Terry,

You are correct the birds were banded with the AGSG Bands was my understanding as well, the farmer that was breeding them was under the impression that Arlan Galbraith would be buying all the youngsters back at a price of $50 each but then as we all read in the article it didn't happen, I was advised that each investor (farmer) put in $100 Thousand to start up in this business venture and he owes out $23 million, his assets I was told are $100 Thousand and there is nothing ilegal about this situation in Canada is what I read. I just can't see someone not being responsible for this, like you Terry I am really concerned about the numbers we may be talking about, we have only heard about 1 of the Farmers, I understand that most investors were in the USA. Sorry I don't have more information, I am trying to learn what I can about this, one of the birds was picked up yesterday in Texas and the finder I think is going to keep that one but may be interested in getting another to keep it company.

Thanks so much Terry for stepping in to help you always go so far above and beyond and it is appreciated by all, To everyone Terry is going to need lots of help and support on this one and the unbanded or injured pigeons as the numbers are quite large, if anyone gets the chance you may want to offer some sort of assitance to her, I haven't started bumping the other birds as of yet but plan to do that tonight but we are talking 100 plus birds.
