Evening all
Rick spent lots of the afternoon trying to match stain for the coop - he's struggling with getting the right colour to match the other part of the coop - but it's keeping him buys! LOL Obviously with the COVID restrictions, we're having a hard time buying stain, but low and below we will get 'er done!
I'm working on the section lists tonight as well as updating the entries that have been delivered this week.
It's supposed to be nice again tomorrow, so I'll do a Facebook Live and show you what Rick has done, and of course, the birds will make an appearance.
Still have time to enter if you are thinking of it...Monday, May 24th is our last day for entries. Please contact Rick or myself if you are delivering birds or meeting him at the CU office in Tillsonburg on the 19th.
Plan for vaccinations to be done tomorrow or Monday for the new birds, and for Sections #1 & #2 in the West Wing.
Have a great night everyone,
Jeane (aka "The 1st Pigeon Lady")
Evening everyone
Rick didn't get a chance to have the birds out today (time issues...) so he's hoping tomorrow is a go.
He'll make the call tomorrow about putting the them out and I'll keep you posted.
More birds have arrived over the last couple of days - so they'll be many more updates on Wincompanion over the next few days. Still have until Monday, May 24th to enter birds so contact us if you're planning on registering. Rick will be at the CU office on the 19th as well!
I'll be doing a Facebook Live tomorrow so watch for that too!
Have a great night!
Rick will be at the Heartland Town Centre mall in Mississaura tomorrow (Thursday) 5920 Mavis Rd from 11-11:30
Please let Rick know if you're meeting him tomorrow - if you haven't already done so.
For sections 3 & 4 in the West Wing! Rick is hoping to let them have a little bit of air flying time tomorrow.
Just a quick update tonight - Rick had the birds outside in their aviaries for much of the day today when the sun was shining - he put them back in around 3pm as the weather shifted once again - and we actually saw a bit of hail around 4:30-5pm tonight!
Reminder of the Mississauga pick up this week on Thursday - please connect with us ahead of time to let Rick know you'll be there. (Rick's cell is 905-329-5139)
Completed some more online bird registrations tonight - the number is growing nicely...yet still not quite 100% entered. Made some section markers today that will hang in the loft sections so that you can see on Facebook Live which section I'm in and for easy quick reference when we're in the loft - nothing fancy but the clear number and wing name.
Have a great night everyone and I'll likely do a Facebook Live tomorrow evening!
We've finished the 2nd set of vaccines for West Wing Sections 3 & 4 today. We also have vaccinated the newer arrivals this week, with their 1st dose of the PMV vaccine. We will do the 2nd dose for these ones in 2 weeks. The newer birds are in the Central Wing Sections 5 & 6.
West Wing Sections 1 & 2 had their 1st dse last week on May 2nd and will have their 2nd dose in another week.
It was a cooler day here today, limited sunshine off and on, most overcast with some good gusts of wind here and there.
Rick's hoping to get Sections 3 & 4 out for some air time at the end of this week...weather dependent of course.
A reminder of the pick ups scheduled:
Thursday May 13th in the Krispy Kreme parking lot from 11:00-11:30am
Heartland Town Centre 5920 Mavis Road in Mississauga
Wednesday May 19th from noon until 2pm at the CU parking lot in Tillsonburg
261 Tillson Avenue, Tillsonburg, ON
If possible, please connect with us prior to the date if you're planning on meeting Rick.
We're still accepting birds until the 24th of May - so you've got lots of time!
Have a great night everyone - and feel free to tune into Facebook Live for our updates there too!
Good afternoon everyone,
We wanted to wish all the mothers out there a Happy Mother's Day - and hope you all are safe and healthy!
Rick was in Bloomington, with many stops along the way up and back to Niagara to pick up birds today. Thank you for all who have connected with us to let us know when you're delivering your birds or meeting up with us for pick ups.
Rick will be vaccinating either this evening or tomorrow in the day all of the birds that were vaccinated after our first weekend of drop offs.
It's cooler and rainy here today, hoping for more sunshine tomorrow - and will do a Facebook Live update tomorrow as well.
Have a great rest of your weekend!
Afternoon pigeon fanciers!
Just a quick update to remind you to check out the pick up dates and locations from the May 4th update note.
As for the birds that are here - they're looking great! Enjoyed some sun (finally) late this morning and now into the late afternoon outside in their settling aviaries. Rick hopes to be letting them have some loft flying time perhaps next week, obviously weather dependent.
He is busy working on the "older" section of the coop - as more and more birds continue to arrive. I bought wipe boards for each section of the coop today to make sure we're tracking important dates and info for each section - like vaccination dates for example.
We continue to accept birds until Monday, May 24th - so connect with us as able to arrange drop off or pick up with Rick.
Have a great night everyone - and check out our Facebook live posts for more viewings of the birds!
Thanks

Good afternoon flyers,
Just wanted to provide a quick update to you as to where things sit with getting the bird registration up to date.
I am still working on the online wincompanion postings, so those are behind. Rest assured, my trust binder and my section listings of the birds in the coop will assist me in the next couple of days to complete the wincompanion bird list!
Stay tuned for that to be completed. Feel free to continue watching us on Facebook for our Live postings, as I will give update as to when I've completed these wincompanion updates and give you all the up to date information on how the birds are doing.
Thanks for the support and see you soon on Facebook - or watch the events at a time that is convenient to you!
Stay safe and healthy,
Good morning everyone
Yesterday we completed the vaccination of the birds who've arrived already. We'll repeat this in 2 weeks for these birds.
Remember to connect with us if you're sending birds so we can confirm pick up locations and times as well as receive the correct information for your registration.
We are open for receiving birds until Mon. May 24th - still plenty of time to enter!
Thanks to everyone for your support and we look forward to a great race season this year.
