Pigeons stolen

[mousiemoua]

Someone stole the majority of my birds. I'm a little pissed off! Police said they'll look around and keep an eye around my neighborhood. nothing is going to happen and i'm stuck with less than 3 birds!! Young babies and whatnot.

Where are you? Have you posted on the usual pet bulletin boards? Hope the bad guys are found soon and your birds are returned healthy and sound.

I’m sorry to hear about your loss. Were are you located? If you’re in southern California, My work sells pigeons, I could post some of the ones for sale and if you wanted any of them I would buy them for you and find away for them to get to you.

I know it won’t help you get over your grievances, frustrations, or anger. But it would be something to help you get back to where you were.

I know that some things in our lives discourage us from doing something we love. Like not raising pigeons as a teenager as your peers think of you as weird or dumb; or having all your sharpies stolen and not wanting to replace them as it will just happen again. Don’t give up on pigeons, (not that you would) just yet. Not all people are considerate, and I hope the numbers that are out number the ones that aren’t. But there are plenty of people willing to help you out.

Good luck. And if you’re in California, there are a lot of nice people here who are extremely kind and helpful, such as Terry and George, Numerous others too.

And there are probably numerous others, just as great, near you if you aren’t in Cali.

Not to say that any one is better. You guys are all great here .

I can't believe someone stole your pigeons!!

Ok, I can "believe" it, but wow. I would be so upset and distraught with worry if my pigeons were ever stolen. There is no replacing them in my heart/life, so I can only imagine what you are going through.

I'd post flyers ALL over town, let people know that a person or people, stole your pigeons. First off you might want to make sure that legally you can keep pigeons in your area...

God, only knows what those poor birds are going through. Someone could be using them cruelly for their personal pleasure..or they could be cold or hungry...ok not very helpful at the moment.

Best of luck finding your birds, and with the young ones you have left.

Do you have any idea on who would take them?? A neighbor complaining about them?? Anyone paying any certain attention to them lately???

Such a horrible thing to have happen...

Its a common thing to have your pigeons stolen, was it in the night or day time. I hope your birds were banded. What breeds were they - were the valuable in $$$$

[warriec]

It will be very difficult to find them back. Because its so common in Sri Lanka that I now know how they operate. say if 10 birds are robbed, each of them are in seperate lofts now eg friends loft because they know if they were all kept together that they could be caught. I have people coming over to my place asking to keep there pigeons for a week which i turn down.

hi very sorry to here your birds where stolen, i know how you feel m8 because over the years i have had many birds stolen from my pens. In england the birds are sold on to others or even sent to other countries, its very dis heartening when this happens and all you can do is hope your birds are returned or found. In my cause all the birds that where stolen from me was never returned or found.

[Trees Gray]

I'm SO sorry to hear your birds have been stollen, I'm sure you are heartbroken as I would be.

Please make sure to let everyone know, post a bulletin in your area, advertise the facts as much as possible, maybe someone has some information.

I will also say a prayer for your birds, as God definitely knows where they are.

no one around my area raises pigeons. I live in a small town (Marshall, MN USA) of 12,000 people. I live right by the middle school too. They checked the survalence camera from the school and couldnt find anything. Maybe kids playing pranks oe whatnot. So i dont know who could have done it. I didnt have people that complain. I've asked policemen before if it was okay to raise pigeons in town and they had no problem with them if my neighbors didnt complain. My neighbors adore my birds and said theyll also keep and eye out for them.

The birds are banded, but i doubt the person that has them will sell them off or let them out.

The birds are priceless moneywise, but i miss having them around.

Now i'm handfeeding 12 squabs and i dont know if i could do it.

And for new birds, i would but i have no money for shipping. but would love them.

Thats awful, they even stole parents from there babies? Terrible

[Margarret]

I am so sorry to hear about the theft of your pigeons. That is beyond terrible not to mention that they took the parents from the squeakers. I hope that somehow your birds will be found and returned to you.

God this is horrible. Why would someone do this? Were your birds very valuable racers, or show birds, and someone knows their value? Or is it just someone who thinks they might be of value.

In any case I am so sorry for your loss, I would be devastated by something like this.

[Victor]

This is so very terrible.

I am so sorry someone took your birds.

I keep my coop and flight pen LOCKED at all times as a deterrent to keep curious area kids out and who knows who else.

[Pigeon lower]

I agree with victor altho mine arnt locked i am gonna when they are moved my dad says noone will take em but who knows lots of idiots everywere

[richardtheman]

I am sorry to hear that you lost your birds. I hope these evil doers get a taste of Karma! The good thing is, if they ever let them loose, there is a good chance they might return. Just keep an eye out for the birds. They often do return.
