Guest chrisss Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 i must admit thats true if you get him a hen [from anywhere] pair him up you might be able to hold him, bearing in mind that he cannot have always been down if he was going to try to "run for home" he would have tried before [i assume]

Guest casbri Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 DO YOU WANT SOME MORE BIRDS TO GO WITH IT
invalidusername Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 any sign of a loft going up yet then ? DO YOU WANT SOME MORE BIRDS TO GO WITH IT Hey, thanks for the offer. Not much prospect of me being able to get a loft yet, so I'll pass on the birds. I'd like to rectify this at some point, but not really a runner at the moment :-/
invalidusername Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 You saw pics of the pigeon a week ago (and he looked a lot worse than this in other pics I've got). He hardly had a neck before: Here are the latest ones, taken this evening: For me, this is a brilliant transformation. He's eating and drinking really well, moving fast - and flew into his house today ;D He continues to make vast improvements by the day. Thanks again to all those who have offered support and advice so far
Peckedhen Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Whoohoo he's looking good. Well done David and Stu. :)
invalidusername Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 Whoohoo he's looking good. Well done David and Stu. :) ..and a big thank you to Susan (REDCHEQHEN) whose behind the scenes help, advice and medication has been totally invaluable. Loads of others who have PMd me also get my gratitude
Guest scoobybob Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 He is looking much better and is even reading the evening post....must be looking for a mate...
ally mac Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 Nice to see him improving. Nice wee story for the kids (most of it anyway) He's going to be one tame bird!!!!
invalidusername Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 one in the eye for the sceptics! Well done Indeed I guess he did look pretty bad at the beginning: But, it's great what a bit of care and attention (and great advice from many people here) can do:
swilcox Posted April 1, 2008 Report Posted April 1, 2008 David Get him used to eating twice a day only now and dont put to much in front of him at any one time that way he wont hit it all over the floor, he does look much better!!!! Well done i think you have gone along way to saving "Basics Boy". Stuart

Well done i think you have gone along way to saving "Basics Boy". Stuart Cheers Stuart. He's on two a day, but I promise I'm reducing the portions The pro-bio yoghurt helped to reduce the mess, and he likes the taste of strawberry (joke!!). Many thanks

invalidusername Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks for all your comments. He's been sleeping most of the day previously, but he's still awake, and looking around! Blanket over his house, and one for me, I think. Cheers for now
