My story

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

12/20 UPDATE Dearheart has been widowed & remarried to a fine strong racing survivor named Revali. She's doing great & shares his passion for extra nesty nest building. When her first mate, Ivy, got sick, she was incredibly loving & devoted to him, comforting him around the clock & right there with him when he died.

Dearheart is a brave little feral Rock pigeon who, when just a nestling, was injured by a predator. Her left wing was mangled but she managed to survive and get to wildlife rescue where she was cared for while on Palomacy's waiting list. Dearheart is very cute and sassy. She can't fly but is happy to march all over, climb ramps, snuggle with her mate Ivy (who is also missing a wing) and together they are looking forward to being adopted & going home!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/April 19, 2024, 6:36 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.
