Farewell Old Friend

went into the loft earlier and found an old friend had died, he was an 05 bird GB05 J 49234, he was the last of the original lefebre dhaenens i bought when i restarted in jan 2008, so he has been with me all this time....... he was nigel cowood / jimmy richards lines and had raced in the nationals, up until today he had never had a days illness since i got him, i have one daughter from him and one grandson off him, i`ll be burying him in the garden shortly .........

good age and a good life no doubt rip old fella,heartbreaking when these things happen

sorry to hear that David 2 of my old birds that died are in the garden one the red ch cock could not put him in the bin

good age in a good home for certain. Ive said before, not many pigeons get to die of old age,

Agree with barnie, had a long and no doubt happy life, better than 99% of pigeons.

Wish a couple of my old favourites would turn up for just a look in.

Life as we know it is full of ups and downs and we have to bear both.

Regards.

We humans are strange creatures.

Never gave a thought to killing rabbits caught with ferret and nets, the more the merrier, when I had show rabbits was very upset to lose one, gave those no good for showing to the pet shop.

The same applies to many other animals.

Nothing as strange and complicated as humans.
