My story

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

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!!!
​
DUE TO OVERWHELMING DEMAND PLEASE EMAIL ONLY, NO CALLS PLEASE.
​
NO SHIPPING!!!
​
 NO BREEDERS!!!
​
Email BurgeBirdRescue@yahoo.com for an adoption application.  
​
Please allow up to two weeks for a response as we have been receiving a large volume of messages about our birds!
 

Dale is a racing pigeon. He was born in 2020, we don't know if Dale is a male or female. After being injured the breeder didn't want him back. The adoption fee is $10. 

 

Our birds are not available for breeding and we do not ship birds, so you must travel to our south Kansas City area facility. Potential adopters must email us at BurgeBirdRescue@yahoo.com for an appointment, fill out an adoption application, and pass a screening interview to ensure that our birds are going to a safe home. There is usually a 48 hour waiting period after your interview before you are allowed to adopt because we want people to take time and think thru their decision.   All birds come with a 30 day health guarantee and return policy, and have been examined and tested by our avian veterinarian.
