My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Update 2/2723: Pidgy lost his never recovered wife Carmel to her sharpshooter fly out. He’s been single for a year but he & little Beanie baby were love at first sight & are very happily married & honeymooning so cute! They are an incredibly sweet couple & would make wonderful house pigeons.

Update 6/26/2020: This week Pidgy married Tippler pigeon Carmel and he is also going to have a leg reconstruction surgery that we hope will allow him to bear weight and even walk again. We are holding our best thoughts for a good outcome for sweet Pidgy!

This brave, gentle racing survivor came to Palomacy badly injured and incredibly lucky to be alive. Pidgy was struck by a hawk and dropped into traffic where a kind person pulled over to assist. Pidgy's rescuer found Palomacy and we are stepping in to provide medical help and supportive foster care, hoping that Pidgy will have a full recovery!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an online adoption application, phone screen & home visit and offer lots of support and coaching all along the way. Our adoption fee is $10/bird and our expectations for adopters are:
-Appropriately sized, safe and uncrowded cage or aviary approved by Palomacy
-Supervised, safe out-of-cage time (if not living in an aviary) daily
-No free flight/uncaged outside time
-Protection from hazards including but not limited to escape, pets, predators, fumes and toxins
-Companionship- lots of your time or another bird's (not home alone)
-Avian vet care if sick or injured
-Compassionate, healthy care that provides for the bird's nutritional (including lighting), physical and emotional well-being
-No breeding, birth control if bird has a mate (real eggs replaced with fakes which we provide)
-A forever home (through sickness and health, for better or worse) with a pet-care plan in place should something happen to you
-No selling, sporting or business use of birds
-Return to Palomacy if unable to keep the bird (This is not desired- we expect that you are providing a forever home!)

Go meet their pets

We are a volunteer-powered rescue and our birds are lovingly cared for in the private homes and backyard aviaries of our foster volunteers. Potential adopters can make appointments to meet our birds and we are at adoption & outreach events almost every weekend. See our Events page at www.PigeonRescue.org and visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PigeonDiplomacy/ for details.
