Hi there, I have had quite a few people email, or ask about the BT pigeon. I was over to see it today where the bird is being rehabbed. Lately the bird has been well, eating and doing pigeon things. However, it has been preening out damaged feathers in its breast area around the area where it had lost feathers in the accident. We knew some of the feathers were sort of just hanging there, but as more came out, it created a larger bare patch, one clearly visible by looking at the front of the bird. While anxious to get the bird out into the wild again, it would not be wise to let it go with such a patch exposed, as you could imagine. The good news is that some fuzzy down feathers are starting to appear. I will continue to update, and let people know when it is released. Pete
