Adopt a Pigeon
Clementine w/ Tommy the Bird needs a home
Clementine (center), shown here with her friend Venetia on the left & her mate Tommy on the right is one of the nine English Carrier pigeons we rescued when their person no longer had time for his pigeon-keeping hobby. Their coop was terribly unsafe and they were lucky to get out alive. (Tragically, the day before we rescued the English carriers, all 40 of the racing pigeons housed next door in an adjacent coop were slaughtered by raccoons.) English Carriers were bred to be very long legged, long necked and to have the ridiculously overgrown opercelum (cere) that you see on their beaks. There is nothing wrong with them except that humans messed with the perfect design of pigeons through selective inbreeding to create hundreds of different breeds such as these. Clementine & her mate are very devoted to each other & adoptable as a (non-breeding) pair.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
