Extraordinary! October 15, 2008
Reviewer: Kimberly & Shane from Tampa, FL  
Dear Mr. Jenner,    

                   My husband ordered the movies "The World Of Pigeons" and "Share The Blue Skies" for my birthday and I can't begin to find the words that would explain how extraordinary the movies are! I have long been a lover of pigeons, but have not really owned any pigeons since I was a young teenager. The movies made all those deeply hidden feelings come back to the surface again. I have always felt a very indescribable feeling when it comes to pigeons. It's like an addiction, once you get to know pigeons you can never be without them. I felt as if I was weird and the only one who felt this way, but after seeing these movies, I realized that I was not alone in the way I felt. "It's the magic of the pigeons themselves!!"  I learned more about these "Angels of the Skies" and the wonderful things they have done, than I ever could have realized. I cried a whole lot too. The footage was breathtaking, the stories heart moving, thought provoking and inspiring. The racing scenes are heart pounding, action packed and full of suspense as you await the return of the pigeons (as if you owned them yourself!!). The movies even helped my husband, who once never gave these birds any thought, to now understanding what I have been talking about for a long time and he now too is a pigeon lover!! We have never enjoyed ANY movie more!!

                     Jim Jenner's movies would make an extraordinary gift to any pigeon enthusiast, animal lover or to any person on your gift list who you think has it all. I'm positive it will make some new pigeon lovers out of some of you and make for wonderful discussions. It will really open your eyes to a world right outside your door that you never even knew was there! I even feel that the movies would do great in schools. I sure wish it had been a project in my school, as I know first hand how pigeons have helped me and how they could have helped others. The movies and pigeons themselves would make an excellent tool in teaching kids social and life issues, and as a result helping kids improve their learning abilities.


                    Sincerely,

                                    Kimberly & Shane
                                       (Tampa, FL.)
