My story

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

Cats have nine lives, but some pigeons, like Ace, have just as many if not more. Ace is a story of getting knocked down but coming back out on top. He was found under a bush in the city, and when a Palomacy volunteer rescued him, it was soon discovered that not only had Ace been hit by a car, but he was also attacked by a predator. As if it couldn't get any worse, he was missing a foot with a break in the leg, and the other foot was badly entwined with human hair and string. This pigeon had been through the worst of the worst, but now he's recovering from all this trauma. He's spirited, lively, loves being talked to. Ace knows and appreciates what it means to be alive, safe, and cared for. We hope that you will show him a lifetime of devotion and security in a forever home. Available in the San Francisco Bay Area.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/October 22, 2024, 12:24 am

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.
