Name:	Ghost

This cute little Ghost is still squeaking -- just getting into the honking stage. Ghost was found stray in San Francisco with severely clipped wings and a serious injury from a predator.

Age:	1 year

Sweet little Alma is a petite and pretty pigeon who unfortunately became lost and attacked by a predator. We're not sure how long she had been injured and trying to survive in the wild, but it must have been for a good while because the wound she sustained became necrotic. Now she's been treated and on the mend, and is definitely in need of a forever home that will keep her safe and cherish her as much as she deserves!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Name:	Puff Berry
Sex:	Unknown
Age:	1 year
Breed:	Pigeon

Madame Puff Ball is nothing short of remarkable. For reasons unknown, she was found stray and taken to Oakland Animal Services. There she presented with lameness in her legs, so Palomacy took her in and rushed her to Medical Center for Birds. After x-rays and testing came up negative, everyone was left stumped as to why she wasn't able to use her legs. We think she may have sustained a head injury at one point which left the connection from her brain to her legs out of sorts. For the past few months, Madame's foster mom has been working tirelessly with her to retrain her brain into realizing her legs are there and can be used. Day after day of physical therapy went by, and each one of those days showed improvement. Now Madame Puff Ball is able to stand on her own! We are so thrilled she's come this far in her recovery, and we know she'll continue to improve.

Name:	Sunny w/ Cricket
Sex:	Female
Age:	3 years
Breed:	Pigeon

Update 1/11/23: Sunny's doing great & ready to be adopted into a nice, happy aviary, please. She is a good flock citizen with striking good Homer pigeon looks. One thing, she & her mate are some of the most non-nest-building pigeons I've ever seen. Even when they have good nesty stuff to build with, they're like, Nope. We're good. (We of course trade out their real eggs for fakes, nest or no nest.)

Update 8/2021: Sunny is partnered with racing survivor Cricket!

Update 12/28/20: Sunny is recovering from injuries and has enough stitches to be a frankenpigeon but is bouncing back nicely and would love to find a forever home. Likes: her pigeon block, watching the world, listening to songs. Dislikes: hands in her space, yucky meds for her injuries (even though she takes them fine, just grumbles about it). She is sassy but surprisingly neat with her seeds for a pigeon. She eats almost everything in the seed mix and doesn't fling food about the way most pidges fling it like confetti.

After transferring to Palomacy, she visited the vet for a thorough exam and treatment plan and then went into medical foster care.

Cute ringneck dove Dora was found stray and brought into the shelter in San Jose.

Brave little Dora is recovering and doing great in foster care and will soon be available for adoption in the San Francisco Bay Area.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Name:	Narwhal w/Percy
Sex:	Male
Age:	2 years
Breed:	Dove

We think beautiful Narwhal is the survivor of a dove release; neighbors reported seeing "several around town" at the time she was found and saved. Dove releases are cruel! Narwhal is very lucky to be alive -- even more so because she has recently one to a great foster to adopt home.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Name:	Percy w/Narwhal
Sex:	Female
Age:	2 years
Breed:	Pigeon

AUGUST 2022 UPDATE: Percy's BFF Pearl who struggled through several health challenges passed away. Percy grieved & carried on & now has a new BFF, Narwhal, who is strong & healthy & loves her back. Yes- Percy is a lady bird & laying the eggs to prove it.

Percy (in the back) & Pearl are two dove youngsters who were sick & weak when their flock was rescued. They were placed in a foster home that could provide supportive care & access vet treatment if needed. Their first 5 days were spent recovering in a crate with access to a heating pad on low (cage rest) with lots of easy access food & water. Pearl needed a couple of tube-fed meals but they both have steadily improved & are now spending their days outside in an aviary though still coming indoors at night. These two may grow up into a pair or they may grow apart as they mature. We don't know their sex & they won't be sexually mature until about February 2022. They are currently shy but open to making friends with people. And they are super cute!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Name:	Nonkari
Sex:	Female
Age:	2 years
Breed:	Pigeon

Update on 11/02/23: We are INCREDIBLY thrilled to report that Nonkari has found her forever home! She is now the spoiled odd little house pigeon she was destined to be!!!!

Nonkari is a bit of an oddball with an oddball history. She was found as a baby underneath a car...by a cat! The cat led his owner to Nonkari for rescue! She had been in rough shape at the time with a few toes lost, but it was soon apparent that she also couldn't eat many types of seed. We're not sure why she can't, possibly a head injury she sustained as a baby, but she is able to eat smaller varieties of seed just fine. The large ones fling away from her beak! Nonkari would make a great companion pigeon to anyone who wants an odd little friend, and who would monitor her weight to make sure she's eating well.

Name:	Applejack
Sex:	Unknown
Age:	11 months
Breed:	Pigeon

Applejack is a very friendly young feral pigeon who was hanging around a woman's house for several days. She thought he was a domestic species due to how habituated and calm he was around her. He even liked to ride around on her head! But after contacting Palomacy, it was determined that Applejack must have been raised by a human and then released. Unfortunately, Applejack is far too habituated and wasn't raised with any survival skills, so now this sweet baby is looking for a forever home!

Name:	Tootsie
Sex:	Unknown
Age:	10 months
Breed:	Pigeon

Update on 09/06/23: LITTLE SWEETHEART TOOTSIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!! YAHOOO!!!!

Tootsie is an incredibly lucky little survivor. Tiny white Homer that s/he is, she was most likely bred for the "dove release" business & then "let go" because she's not pure white (happens all the time!) despite the fact that she was only a child and, as a domestic pigeon, would never have the ability to survive in the wild. A pigeon friend saw her trying to keep up with a feral flock but her eyes became infected & something caught her (pulling out her tail) & she was rescued & brought into Palomacy foster care. She also has a crushed foot which is in the process of dying & self-amputating. Her eyes have responded to vet treatment & she's doing well (though I'm sure she'll feel better when that foot falls off). Tootsie is tiny (250 grams) & adorable & ready to now have a lifetime of safety, fun & love, thank you very much!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Name:	Cinnamon Stormcloud
Sex:	Unknown
Age:	1 year
Breed:	Pigeon

Cinnamon Stormcloud is one heck of a name! But then again, this is one heck of a bird! Cinnamon is thought to be a king pigeon due to her large size (and large personality!) She was brought into Oakland Animal Services at about a month old due to a severely broken leg. Unfortunately, the bone turned necrotic, and amputation was the only option to make sure this Stormcloud kept stormin'! She is recovering from the surgery and is doing quite well! So well that she is not afraid to stand her ground when it comes time for medication and handling!

Breed:	Dove

Update 7/31/20: Lumi is adopted and HOME!

Lumi is a curiuos young Ringneck dove, very gentle but shy with people. She was found alone in a garage in a neighborhood next to a park. It made us wonder what kind of ceremony might have been held in the park involving the cruel "release" of white Ringneck doves to their almost certain deaths. We're grateful that the kind citizen who found Lumi brought her to The Bird Rescue Center in Santa Rosa where she got great treatment and care. Lumi is now safe with Palomacy and learning about life in a foster flock.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Breed:	Pigeon

Update 8/28/23: Jellybean, now renamed Curtis, is adopted and forever HOME!

Jellybean has a sweet and fun name, but sadly he hasn't had such a fun time. She's a victim of pigeon racing, and it's quite possible he's come from a very long way. Unfortunately, during his survival in the wild, he contracted various illnesses that left him weak and emaciated. He's been through so much, but is now on the mend in his foster home. Every day he's getting stronger, putting all that's happened behind him.

Update as of 05/26/23: Hootie has married Riley!

AUGUST 2021 UPDATE: Lovely little Hootie divorced fancy show-stopper Lahore pigeon Charming & married big, plain King pigeon Layla. They are a very happy couple. Divorce is uncommon amongst pigeons but it happens now & then. (Don't worry, Charming will find love.)

Update 5/22/21: Unfortunately, Hootie's adoptive mom had to return her to Palomacy when she moved and couldn't keep her. Hootie's first mate, beloved Fleetwood, passed away not long ago, and Hootie remarried to a big, gorgeous Lahore pigeon named Charming. This striking couple is available for adoption into a loving foster home in the San Francisco Bay Area.
_____________

Hootie is a shy little Homing pigeon (the kind bred, used & lost in "dove releases") who was lucky enough to get taken to a shelter when she got lost and needed help. The shelter doesn't place birds so she was put on our waiting list and after a month, we were able to fit her in. I'm so glad that we were able to help her not only for Hootie but also for her very happy new husband Fleetwood! He is a special needs pigeon who has been wanting a mate for months and now he is so proud to be married to beautiful little Hootie. They are available for adoption together and will do best in a small, easy-going flock. Currently, Fleetwood still requires daily handfeeding (his upper beak was torn off in a predator attack) but we are still hopeful that someday and in the right setting, he'll be able to self-feed.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

He is also a charmer, with a big, cute personality. He doesn't start drama, but he is vocal with his opinions. He has bloomed into a curious, self-assured pigeon.

Name:	Wisdom
Sex:	Unknown
Age:	23 years
Breed:	Pigeon

Wisdom is a 20-year-old racing pigeon surrendered to Palomacy because he was the only one left of his original flock of 60. He was part of a 4H project started in 1993. Since then all of the kids grew up and lost interest. Pigeons can live for more than 20 years and don't understand when people lose interest. This beautiful elder bird has arthritis and is a bit thin. He also came to us with a badly overgrown, crossed beak which we've trimmed. Wisdom is settling into his supportive foster care home; we're hopeful that he can spend the rest of his life feeling cherished and safe.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

Name:	Tiki
Sex:	Female
Age:	4 years
Breed:	Pigeon

Tiki is what's known as a Frillback pigeon. They're mainly bred for shows and competitions. Through selective breeding, humans have altered their feathers so much that they are tightly curled, as well as breeding in feathery feet. While beautiful to our eyes, these traits negatively affect the bird's quality of life. The dense, curlicues make it very difficult for the pigeon to properly preen itself, which can trap dirt, debris, insects, and feces within. It also prevents the pigeon from having optimum aerodynamics, rendering flight dangerous and taxing on the pigeon's body. Their feathery toes make it not just hard to walk, but painful as well. Each feather on the toes is a blood feather, meaning there is a direct blood supply at all times. The lengthy feathers often catch onto objects and break, causing pain and blood loss. Luckily for Tiki, she is in a foster home where she won't have to worry about evading predators, will have access to a bath, and her feathery feet will be kept trimmed down. The only thing Tiki has to think about now is food, sleep, sunbathing, and whether or not she'll find her forever home. Available in the San Francisco Bay Area.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
