My story

UPDATE: Kenny has recovered from his injuries & is doing great. His broken wing healed drooped & frozen & he can't fly but, with it taped out of his way, he does fine on his feet. He needs a safe home protected from pets or birds that would bully him & he's married a sweet & spicy special needs feral named Hermione who needs the same so they are a really perfect pair.
Sweet, shy Kenny was rescued on the campus of a local high school. His finder connected with Palomacy and it wasn't until we took Kenny in that we discovered a terrible wound to the throat. We hate to think about what may have happened, but Kenny is lucky. The wound is stitched up and healing well. Kenny is in medical foster care right now but, knowing the resilience of pigeons, he'll soon be ready for a forever home!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/November 28, 2023, 7:09 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.
