My story

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

Update 11/10/21: Cori grew up and got married to Cisco! They're available for adoption together.

Cori is one of six king pigeons dumped in Alameda and saved by a Palomacy volunteer after she had jammies on and was in bed for the night! Cori is the youngest of the abandoned group and demonstrated a lot of smarts and spunk, doing her best to keep up with the others -- but she's just a baby, still squeaking and so lucky to be alive. We know she's a hen because the boys were already pursuing her amorously. We've placed her in a gentle foster aviary where she'll have a chance to grow up safely! Cori is petite (for a King pigeon) and understandably wary, but she accepts some handling. With a bit of time and care, this little one could make a great pet.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.
