One foot in the grave, or a pigeon in the kitchen

[Guest Vic]

How's "Our pigeon in the Kitchen," getting on these days? Surely more posts than "One foot in the Grave"? Vic. (Mildewing slightly). LOL.

David has been busy with work and had computer problems for a while but hopefully will be online to update us all.

The birds are well though and still upto there usual antics!

Is it roast Turkey, Chicken or maybe something special in his kitchen at Xmas?

One would hope now etc, that it's not our wee pigeon in the oven/pot for xmas. David would be in real trouble "Big time', especially with me I can tell you  (I would be on a plane quick smart) & there would be nowhere he could hide on that little island of his. Just to put those here  (new members), that did not follow our wee pigeon on his epic trail to father hood etc, I tell you "it was magic" & one of the most enjoyable topics you could ever read, on any pigeon website. Much better by far, than any eye sign topic (wink wink) especially when you look at the hits etc, that our wee pigeon in the kitchen had.

PS, David, you have now been warned etc.

Enjoy.

As if you care, maybe your highly offensive remarks to him because he is not in Vic's league have put him off coming on.  :-/

After seeing the name of this thread i decided to read all the pigeon in the kitchen thread and what can i say EXCELLENT thread with some great advice given by 99% of members on here wont go in to other 1%.

But this thread was so captavating & brilliant.

Can i say after reading that thread it could be made in to a book with all the parts taken buy our heroes

with a bit of saddness/ happines/ joy & ecstacey and lots more feelings.

Also the good news we have another fancier/ hobbiest.

I cant wait to see if there is another chapter or more news has i feel most would like an update.

One thing i would like to say is that the pigeon in the kitchen thread shows how good this site is and how informative it is from help to a novice to people who win week in week out, so all mebmers who contributed to the thread deserve some praise for there great advice and those who went to the birds time of need deserve a pat on the back WELL DONE ALL KEEP IT UP..

Correct we can all learn no matter how good some people think they are

following is a copy of an e-mail from David a few days ago, i'm sure he won't mind me posting it as so many are asking whats happened!

Many thanks for the email. It's a bit spooky actually, as I got half  

way through a long PM to you, and my Internet connection dropped  

(Friday night). I was going to do another this week.

 

Things have been really hectic at work, I was without the internet for  

about a month, and have been ill which kept me away for too long. Hope  

you are doing well!!

 

The pigeons are doing very well and my lack of contact doesn't reflect  

my lack of enthusiasm for them. They seem to like their own space  

despite the cold weather.

 

Had a fright last weekend with Penny though!  I had the Friday off  

work to finish off flight work and clean out shed. You'll probably  

swear at me, but I've left off clipping wing as she seemed a bit  

miserable, and have been careful with door, etc. Besides, I didn't  

think she'd be able to fly much. Anyway, she got out of the shed and  

flew onto my neighbours conservatory. I tried to coax her down, but  

she eventually flew past me and onto a roof opposite. I was out there  

watching her fly back and forth for nearly 2 hours. Then she flew off  

out of sight. I thought that was it.

 

Next day (Sat), I couldn't see her anyway, but looked out of bedroom  

window at roofs through binoculars. I spotted her on a roof in  

distance. I walked down there and rattled food. She didn't want to  

know. Later on, Junior came home from exercise so I took him down and  

threw him in direction of roof. He flew up there. I hoped he'd lead  

her home. I walked back home and a few minutes later they both flew  

over the house. Junior came back in, but Penny stayed on roof opposite  

then flew off. Next day (last Sun), I went into garden and she was on  

our roof. I rattled food, and she was down like a shot. Very hungry. I  

spent the next hour coaxing her from shed roof in through Sputnik by  

calling and rattling food and putting drinker just inside. After a  

while, she hopped in, and has been on ever since.

 

Can't believe she didn't just take off. Would like to let her out  

again, but a bit scared

 

Apart from calling me stupid, what do you think?

 

By the way, Berwyn is now top bird in the shed!!!

Vic - if you'd care to mince on over to the 'Pigeon in my Kitchen' thread, you'll see the latest news.  I've been away for a while, but that doesn't mean I don't still spend every day looking after and caring for my pigeons.  I'll never be able to thank the the folks on PB for the help and advice they've given me.  I don't need to be judged - neither do my birds ;-)

 

 

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

did the hen every return

[Guest Vic]

   What Vic  is trying to explain is the following:- There are more false story tellers in tbis game than any other (including  fishing). lol. And good writers can prove it! as the "pigeon in the kitchen" has no doubtably has  done!

[Guest Vic]

What is your next species?

So are you still saying that David aka Invalidusername does not exist along with the pigeons and it is merely a fabrication. I remember one of your posts mentioned a Mr Lycett being involved.

Is it a case of, if you are not in Vic's league or wavelength you are waisting your time keeping pigeons and have little or no knowledgeable input on the site and have no right to comment on your topics :-/

[bewted]

What is your next species?

 

vic,,,,leave `pigeon in my kitchen` alone !

 

there are many of us who enjoyed the story of a lost pigeon and many who were willing to give help and advice,,,,,if you dont like the story for what ever reason,,,,dont pull it down by stupid remarks !!!! PLEASE !!!

David is very genuine as are the pigeons, I along with a couple of others on the forum have had the pleasure to meet David.

As we know the original pigeon is still there and doing well as well as junior. The hen that merlin gave David unfortunatly escaped but i've since given David a youngster and another hen to go with Bluey which are all now going out.

Vic, it is definatly a genuine story which we can all learn from!!
