Dear readers,

I want to thank you for all your support and interest in the years I’ve been posting stories, photos and videos of Georgie and Elmo pigeons. I really appreciate the comments, photos and stories you’ve shared with me.

It has been an experience living with such wonderful birds and I am delighted that I’ve been able to portray this to others and to also help a little in dispelling the myths about pigeons. I expect that my life with Georgie and Elmo will still be filled with wonder and suprises, however, I sadly haven’t got the time to write about them as in depth as I would like anymore.

I shall continue to post photos and videos of my pigeons on Pigeons as Pets Facebook and YouTube pages, so please continue to follow their story.

You can find all the posts from the beginning (Jan 2010) in our Archive folder above if you want to revisit (or visit for the first time) the adventures Elmo and Georgie have had.

Once again,

Thank you!!

I have been a visitor to your site for a few years now and it is one of my most favourite places to visit. I have really enjoyed reading your posts and watching the videos you have shared.

I think your site really shows how wonderful pigeons are.

I will continue to follow your posts on Facebook and enjoy your videos of Elmo and Georgie.

Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil, thank you so much for your comment. It means a lot to me to read that people have enjoyed reading about Elmo and Georgie. I have definitely enjoyed writing about them so I will try my very best to continue to post about them, although not necessarily on this site anymore. Thank you for your support, Neil.
