Oops...did not mean to start anything. NOTHING against Max - just against the signature picture. AND, there was nothing wrong with his picture. Just to let all know that I have nothing against guns per se. I like them personally and was on the rifle team in college. Unfortunately, to see someone pointing a gun on this site, for whatever benign reason, just bothers me, because of the connotaton...hope I have cleared up my former posting.

Now that that's clear, hopefully, back to your pigeon, Max....WISHING ALL THE BEST FOR YOUR PIGEON!

Hi Max,



Well, you could probably help me with some projects I have been wanting to do..!


Those are definitely good skills and know-hows to have.


At first, I thought it was an image of someone Shooting Pigeons with some 'NATO' rifle or other.


If it were a Thread about Guns ( fine with me, ) then, we could share pictures of ourselves holding or firing or pointing our favorite Firearms.



If the Thread is about Pigeons, then, it seems out of place, and, to some extent, confusing.


Anything more than one's little, upper-left 'Avitar' really, does not work well in this format, since it confuses what the Post is about visually, and one has to then re-group to deal with it.

Does this have anything to do with my pets dying?? ......Max

Exactly...your Posts graphically, seem to be about how you have a gun...and, as an afterhought or incidental, there is something added, which is about Pigeons.


That's what it "looks" like, hence, my asking...


We all have things we are proud of...and, posting images of them as a signature identity or whatever, would not be smooth or complimentary to the Topics.

When an image apears in a Post, it has always been because it relates to what the Post is about, or is showing what the Post is about.



Not trying to hassle you, just wanting to understand, and, wanting you to understand.


With respect, totally, even if I am a little casual or blunt...


The image just does not 'work' in this context...even if it is a totally cool image with real meaning and substance.

Sure it's okay. That's one that you use basically every six months:

Max, I'm really sorry your thread has gone sideways. I believe you wouldn't hurt a fly. Please, let's go back to helping your birds.

Hello Max Back to your problem.... just because you don't see mice doesn't mean they aren't there. I try to feed in the morning and pull ALL feed at early evening.
If your grit gets wet throw it out! Don't reuse it, its not worth the chance of dead pigeons or vet bills.
Do you keep your feed in sealed containers? No moisture, bugs or mice getting to it? I keep all the feed here in large metal garbage cans, the lids fit very tight.
Is your loft dry and out of any strong breezes or winds?
Can wild birds contaminate food or water dishes?

Just some thoughts, hope it helps.

Hi Max, first & foremost, I am so sorry to hear about your birds.
I hope you are able to get a handle on what's going on very soon.

* With regard to your picture, I, personally saw nothing wrong with it.
I'm truly sorry the importance of your thread was distracted by negative questions & comments that should have been dealt with via a pm, email or perhaps not been brought up in the first place.

Your birds are or at least should be top priority here.

Best wishes to you & your sweet pijjies.

Cindy

Things are looking good so far... I had my mom say some prayers for my birds last night and I think it worked. Thank you for asking Max

Is that your son? What a little cutie.
