  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

The pink pigeon fully grown at Paignton Zoo in England – SWNS

A rare pink pigeon has been hand-reared at a UK zoo for the first time, using an innovative method for feeling baby birds.

Found in the wild only on the island nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, pink pigeons have been on the endangered ‘red list’ for both the IUCN and BirdLife.

On the brink of extinction in 1991, their numbers were thought to have dropped to a low of just nine individuals left in the wild.

Yes, I live in Paignton, so I know the zoo there well. The pink pigeon was on our local BBC news quite a lot.
