Curiosity seekers. :D

Well, a little birdy told me......:D

WHAT?? What am I missing? Do I have to go back through this whole thread to remember all the details? I hate being lost. :rolleyes:

Shew!!! Glad I finally figured out it was an old post. I was a little concerned about V when she mentioned her husband being there and making fun of her. :D

:eek::eek:

LOL

Come to Philly. There are hundreds of "pet birds." :D

OH DEB....bring your face right real close to your monitor ....comon - a little closer.....

don't be scared - right up there in front of the screen......

THERE you go......good girl.....ok - hold very still now - :)
SMACK !

ok- I feel better - how bout you ???:D:D:D

LOL - you are SO busted bring up my RARE BIRD Thread....I even laughed reading it - what WAS I Thinkin ? Can anyone tell I'm so NOT living in the city anymore ?

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - Deb-ee ....Deb-eeeeeeeeeeeeeee....after I posted above -- I went and read the whole thread and was laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes

Thanks Bchgirl - I take back the smack :D - this was a funny thread and brought back such good memories ...

OMG I LOVE this thread! I've never read it before. This is so funny-V, you have such a kind heart, and you were only trying to help this "Rare Pigeon" :) (I wouldn't have known what kind of bird it was either-he's so pretty up close!)

I think one of my favorite parts is when you ask if Homing Pigeons have little mapquests...well, the very technologically advanced ones have tiny GPS's strapped to their other leg, and will tell them directions on their way. Oh, and there's a small button under their right wing they can push if they get lost-kind of like OnStar ;)

I re-read it yesterday and thought....oh my...look at all these names you don't see here any more.

Btw, I was serious when I told you...when I see a pigeon. I think of you. LOL

LOLOLOL !!!!!!!!!! OMG Suzy - I'm laughing so hard I'm getting a headache - GOOD ONE ! See the changes in just 2 years ? we all know MAPQUEST is kinda screwed up but 'On Star' wasn't that well known back then or I BET he wouldn't have been on my fence !

and ya Deb - I noticed lots of names I miss too

I really enjoyed that thread. Honestly, if I saw that bird up close, I would have thought it was similar to a pigeon but too fancy to ever be one!

Thank you !!! I had horrors of being made fun of by none other than the REAL Dr. Doolittle :D

then again - I have bchgirl for that LOL

what a great old thread, I don't know how Imissed this one. Thanks for the smiles

AHAHHAHAHA, I am sorry but one look at that bird I was like that is a pigeon.... I thought it was gonna be some outta this world bird... we have 34573907530472 of those here in NYC LMAO

That's a lot of pigeon poop!

Awww that was too cute!! Im a city girl living the "country life" in Georgia im so amazed when I see all the birds, snakes :eek:, lizards, cows and everything else around here lol. Ive been here 3 years now and I still break my neck to see the horses and cows when driving :D And I havnt seen a pigeon in a long time

I'm glad you posted this link! Thanks! I used to raise ringneck doves and a friend called saying he'd found a hurt (what he thought was) cockatoo. So I ran over to get it and see what was wrong with it and it was a white pigeon:rolleyes:...talk about not knowing your avian species, LOL.
It was cold and rainy and he was injured, so I took him home to nurse him if I could and contact his owners if I could find them.
I had a pharmacist friend who raised racing pigeons and called him to help me find the owner by the band number and sure enough, I found the owners in another town....I think they had let the pigeons off in Reno or something like that...not sure where they were supposed to be racing to, unless it was home which for them, was Petaluma.

I kept him in a cage in my bedroom, kept him warm, dressed his wounds and he got well after a couple of weeks. I put him in my dove cage outside, but he was much larger than my doves and he pecked at them, so I had to separate them and get his owners to come get him and take him home, LOL. Hopefully, he lived a long and healthy life after that. I think they might live forever; I've got a dove that's at least 12 yrs old, is semi-psychotic and I swear, he's gonna outlive me!

Still lovin' it, reading it all for a second time today!!!

omg, this thread has me cracking up! I hope she can catch the bird! Then she needs to take a picture of herself with it!

this was too funny! we need more threads like this!

:D:D:D I snuck on and read it a 2nd time too - hard to believe it's 2 years old ....the girls sure miss their yard...and nope - never did see HOMER again lol

This thread is too cute!

My friend did have two pigeons as pets when i was in middle school :)

haha, oops. I wasn't done reading and didn't realize it was an old thread, lol. Either way.. this is a great thread!

I did not read past this post....I'm sure he is a "homing pigeon". The guy I used to buy my dog food from had them....I'm surprised people still use them (though it isn't a bad thing; more of a sport).

OH CRAP:D! I just HAPPENED to notice this post too:lol tears
