Oh yes. I’ve searched all over. I’ve found a few copies, but none of them meet the reasonable price requirement. I’m a full-time student, and I just can’t afford the prices I’ve found (~$100).

I'm trying to find a reasonably priced copy of The Pigeon by Wendell Levi, published in 1968 or later. If anybody happens to have a copy they no longer need, please PM me!

About ten years ago I met up with yardbird tx from this forum to take a look at his Texan Pioneer pigeons and loft. My job soon called me away to Chicago, where it is--suprise!--illegal to keep pigeons. I am in Oklahoma now and I am looking to get into pigeons with the goal of providing a source...

An update on my eggs: of the shipped eggs that arrived in good condition, and which went directly into the incubator without settling, about half hatched. The other eggs, that were abused in transit, and which DID settle before going into the incubator, NONE hatched. Today was day 21 for them...

Yeah, I didn't explain very well about the humidity. It reached 90% with the plug, and after I pulled it, it went down to about 78%. I still have some condensation in between the layers of the display--it was beads of water, like fog, and then when I bumped it, they all joined together into one...

I'm not sure why the tips on receiving packages form the post office are here. My post office would definitely not hold a package on arrival. It's much too big a place to pay attention and look for one person's package. Perhaps things are different in small towns. My carriers routinely leave...

I bought one of the newer Genesis 1588 incubators, the ones with a digital thermostat that also displays the temperature and humidity. I went into lockdown on Sunday, and I quickly got up to 90% humidity (I had been dry incubating, so I was running at about 28-30% for the first 18 days, and the...

The eggs I received *might* have been OK if the seller had only added some more cushion to the top of the box. If you leave two inches of empty space at the top, you're just asking for trouble. You need to cushion each egg individually, and then also FILL the box with material so the eggs don't...

Okay, I found the pics of some of my shipped eggs. I am not going to say who they were from, but they were a private sale (not an auction) that I arranged through this site. The eggs WERE packed loosely in bubble wrap, but it consisted of one single layer of thin (tiny bubbles) wrap taped around...

I agree that the packing job in that photo is not good, NYRIR, despite the fact that you said the seller did a good job in your first post about these broken eggs. In my limited experience, shipping in an egg carton is just not OK. My eggs in bubble wrap, double boxed, all arrived in perfect...

To be clear, when pushing, you don't just push. Since it has been turned basically inside-out, you need to locate the very center, or the passageway that is still open to the interior of her body, and push in such a way that it turns itself right-side-in, so to speak. Think of it like turning a...
