My story

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

Many of our birds are lucky to be alive after the conditions they're found in, and Chai is definitely no exception. This little Eurasian-Collared Dove had been the victim of a cat attack. Somehow little Chai survived, but sustained a horrible head injury. Through many weeks of recovery with her foster mom, Chai has healed beautifully well! She still has a head tilt as a result from the head injury, and from being blind in her right eye, but she is self-sufficient and eats on her own just fine. Once having been a wild (non-native) dove, Chai currently is wary of humans. She would require a home that would be very patient, understanding, and appreciative of her for who she is. Whoever does decide to give Chai a forever home would be rewarded with the sounds of her beautiful coo. 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.
