Adopt a Pigeon
Kit w/Iris the Bird needs a home
Kit is a tiny little Roller pigeon who suffered malnutrition resulting in bone deficiencies that ultimately cost her a foot. She does pretty well hopping on her remaining foot and is a super sweet and beautiful little bird. She's married to a little fancy guy named Iris and they would do best as pets in a home where her stump can be protected. You can learn about their story...
Can you imagine how it feels to be an injured pigeon dropped off at a busy animal shelter? Dogs are barking, the people are hurrying past… You’d wonder, What now? On August 18th, two young Roller pigeons were brought in to Oakland Animal Services as “strays” by the person we suspect is actually breeding them. Both suffered from malnutrition and have crippling bone issues and wounds as a result. (Often pigeon hobbyists will cull- kill- imperfect or unwanted birds so we are grateful that they were at least surrendered to the shelter.) Through the network of volunteers, we were alerted to their situation. Once pigeon rescue expert Jill saw them at the shelter, we knew that, without our help, these birds would be euthanized as unadoptable. So, somehow, overextended as we are, we had to fit them in. So we did. We’ve named them Kit and Caboodle. Both are tiny and adorable and you can see more of the story here- http://www.pigeonrescue.org/2016/09/09/kit-caboodle/Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
