"Pigeony" came to us just under a month ago....she was worn out from her travels....apparently, she had lost her way....good thing for her we found her before the dogs did....
Randi and I took to the Internet to see what we could learn about her origin and her owner...she had tags on her legs that told us she was registered with the American Racing Pigeon Union, and that her owner lives in New Castle, Delaware. He was VERY excited to hear we had her and shared with us that she had lost her way in a 300 mile race from Ohio! We learned all about how they train pigeons to find their homes and all about proper pigeon care as well....we'd have to have her healthy and well rested before we sent her home...it took her a few days to settle in, but after that she really came to life....we knew that meant her time with us was nearing it's end though.....well, today was the day.....the USPS is going to help her with the last leg of her flight....just to be sure she gets home this time.....
Thank you, Pigeony, for such a wonderful learning experience! You'll be missed!
Happy Trails,
Leah & Randi (Your extended family in Va)
