Thanks Neil, I have ordered a few copies to be left lying around in strategic places.

I owe Pigeon Recovery a lot as they were my only source of information when I found my first PMV pigeon. The information that they provided was concise and straightforward.

I'd say just go for it, Victor. If you're not supposed to, it's not like they can take away your birthday or ????......

Here you go:

Thanks Cynthia, your order came through fine.

Victor - yes, I'll send them anywhere!! Can only really stretch to free postage in the UK though; £1 extra will cover postage to Europe and £2 ($4) to anywhere else in the world.

Cheers,

Niel

Just had a thought; if anyone wants a copy (or copies!) but they're not registered with and don't want to join eBay, just send an email via the Contact Us page at www.savethepigeons.org, telling us what you want and paying via the Paypal link if that's easier. We're flexible and just want to get the magazine's information out wherever we can

It doesn't let me buy it. I need to enter the shipping cost.
How much would that be?

Hi Reti,


At about 3/4rs of the way to the bottom of the page, it says -


"Will dispatch to Worldwide. Contact the seller for additional postage costs and services."


...with the words 'Contact the seller' being highlighted in 'blue'...being a clickable link.


So, just write them via that link and they can let you know what to do or how to do it.


Best wishes!

Phil

Yes, Ryan, pigeons sometimes require medical intervention for various reasons.

Yes, indeed, there are pigeon rescue groups and individual pigeon rescue people. Here at Pigeon-Talk, there are many thousands of posts about pigeons that have been rescued and what was needed to assist them.

There are a couple of Yahoogroups lists dedicated to pigeon rescue.

There is the Urban Wildlife Society which is largely dedicated to pigeons .. give it a read .. http://www.urbanwildlifesociety.org

There is the 911 Pigeon Alert list which has been hugely successful in getting banded pigeons returned to their owners thanks to the people who rescued the pigeons.

This particular thread was started to raise funds to help save the Trafalgar Square pigeons in London.

So, yes, pigeon rescue is for real.

Terry

Can this be purchased from anywhere other than e-bay. I have a major problem with e-bay, and I won't ever purchase anything from that site again.

I am really interested in getting my grubbing little hands on a copy plus helping out STTSP.

Hi Reti,

Shipping to the USA is £2 ($4).

Michelle - yes, just email us via the website (www.savethepigeons.org) telling us you want a copy and then pay via the "donate" link on the Home Page or, as you're in Britain, just drop us a line and enclose a cheque or postal order.

Our address is:

STTSP
BM Pigeon
London
WC1N 3XX

All the best!!

Hi Niel,

Are Maggie and Lyn the ladies in Sutton? That is where I think Pigeon Recovery is? Can you advise?

Thanks
