Adopt a Pigeon
Penny w/Freddie (special needs) the Bird needs a home
UPDATE 1/18: Penny is now in Palomacy's special needs aviary and bonded to little pigeon girl Freddie. They are a comfort to each other and do well in this gentle flock environment.
UPDATE 2/12: Penny became egg bound and required surgery to save her. She needs to live in a Lady Pigeons Only environment so as not to reproductively stimulated. Penny is a sweet, gentle bird that deserves the dignity and respect of a forever home.
Penny is one of ten homing pigeons that were originally owned by a wedding release business before being sold to Cal State Hayward for use in their Psych Dept's Animal Behavior Lab where they proved they had the ability to count! Despite their proven intelligence, they were kept in very small cages for over five years until the lab closed down and they were surrendered to MickaCoo. Now these two little cuties are living together as a mated couple in a big, beautiful foster aviary. They are very happy and want to find a really wonderful forever home.
