My story

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

Liberty's rescue story is one of the most amazing we've seen; it was all recorded by the rescuer's doorbell camera: A raptor attacked Libby and pinned her to the ground on the front porch; when the homeowner opened the door, the raptor was frightened away. Libby immediately ran toward the very thing that had frightened her attacker -- a human's front door. She wanted to get into the house! Thankfully, the kind homeowner grabbed her and kept her safe. Brave, smart little Libby is recovering well from her injuries. She loves to get head skritches from her foster mom and enjoys interacting with other fosters, too. We're pretty sure she's a hen. If you have a safe and loving space for Libby, let us know!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/May 16, 2024, 6:21 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.
