invalidusername Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Posted July 15, 2008 Then a week later,he will be like a Sputnik flying out,well done David This has reached a whole new chapter for a wonderful publicity story! I wish all strays fell into such careing hands. Phil Cheers chaps :-) The babe has now found out how to fly onto the top of his nest box, but just jumps off it - already taking a keen interest in the peanuts I give to his mum and dad as a treat. He's getting some lovely markings :-)
invalidusername Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 Well, the baby went into the Sputnik of his (her?) own accord yesterday. Really pleased with this, as he can now see out and get a good view of his surroundings. Might need to get a bigger Sput though, as they're looking a bit crowded when they're all sunning themselves in there :-) The baby was 29 days, so is this about average for a yb to be able to fly? I guess so, but I was amazed at how strong and long his wings are :-)

ALL THE BEST, YOURS IN SPORT GERRY O'MARA Gerry, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you registering and posting here. I've been blown away by all of the help, advice and kindness I've been shown by the folk here, and you posting here has put the icing on the cake. Thank you!! I had a great chat with your dad on the phone a few months ago. He's a real gentleman, and I enjoyed talking with him. Please would you pass on my best wishes? Merlin (Dominic) sent me a lovely hen for 'Blue Boy', and as you've probably seen here, they have a lovely little one who's now 4 weeks old, and is flying around the shed like a pro. He's got a small patch of white on his head and is very strong. My first ever hatching, so you can imagine how that feels. I feel so privileged that the pigeon found his way to me, and all the things that have happened. I reported the bird as soon as I could get a look at his ring number, but I know it was never passed on to your dad. I feel very lucky that I'm able to keep him with your blessing. Sorry to have rambled on, but I'm really grateful that you've managed to get on here, and helped to close another chapter for me. Best wishes. David
invalidusername Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Posted July 19, 2008 Sorry, but had to put a pic of the young one in the Sputnik today. Am going to try to adapt pjc's fly out to fit properly to give more space, but want to let them all have proper flying experience if I can work out how to do it. A lovely afternoon here in the south-west. Hope conditions were favourable for everyone.
carlsberg Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 that is one nice looking y/b hope you breed plenty more like it
invalidusername Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Posted July 19, 2008 that is one nice looking y/b hope you breed plenty more like it Many thanks for that. Can't believe he/she is 4 weeks - how they grow! I plan to have more :-)
Guest Vic Posted July 19, 2008 Report Posted July 19, 2008 I for one! Just don't believe it. Who actually is behind it all? Whichever way you see it!

Whichever way you see it! all of the site is behind it [apart from one]to take a bird in that state bring it around and breed from it [with a lot of hard work from david and some help from the site] is a good news story in a sport/pastime which has a bad image to most nowdays,
