Abandoned Fancy PigeonsThe Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley located in San Jose just received approx. 15 fancy pigeons that an owner dumped in a park. Among them are brown fan tail (?) pigeons and another sort we were unable to ID however they have dark red-brown bodies with black wings and a small crest on the back of their heads. We do not work with domestics but have been keeping them in one of our aviaries until we find a suitable home for them. Anybody interested? We would really appreciate any help - the aviary will be needed soon! Please contact Leslie ( letucci@yahoo.com ) for more information.
Thank you! |

I would be interested in the fantails. We have been thinking about getting a female for our indian fantail, so he will leave the rest of the crowd in peace.
I live all the way in Ohio, though. Any chance you would be willing to ship? Erna |

I e-mailed you. I'm going to be in San Jose tonight (Sunday), all day Monday and leaving Tuesday morning early. I will be staying near ALum Rock Park. I raise fantails and have a couple of lonely single young birds looking for mates. Maybe I could see the birds and bring home a couple. I don't know where you are located, you can call me on my cell phone @ (805) 459-8748

Tori, I'm so glad to see someone else is interested! We were only able to take three of these beautiful little pigeons because our loft is FULL. We got two Archangels and one red fantail--appears to be an American fan.
These are beautiful birds and appear to be in good condition. (Though we are keeping them in quarantine, as we do with any new pigeon.) The Archangels are small, about the size of my rollers. They are quiet and peaceful, but seem comfortable with people. There are 9 of these pigeons left--I don't know how many of each breed, but WCSV can tell you. I hope and pray someone will be able to take the rest of them. It breaks my heart that they were dumped. |

I've been out of town and out of state. But we should be home and heading up to San Jose for a couple of days again at the end of this week. I don't know the dates for sure but between the 17th and 22nd of September. I never got a reply of the pigeons, I could still take a couple if they are available. Any more info? My e-mail is Natrlhorse @ hotmail . com (no spaces)

You've got to be kidding me...I know exactly where that is and I was right there on the last visit. I did send an e-mail and didn't get a response but thanks for this info. I will write it down and give them a call. My grandparents live right there and they go to the senior center just next door.I'll let you know how it goes. Will be in SJ tomorrow.

Update! I went to the wildlife center this morning and brought home the last three fantails. They only had one pijj left from the group of 12 abandoned in the park. It is a small kite colored archangel who looks very lonely. They also had a roller and two other pigeons that came in yesterday. I wasn't sure of their breed, looked like some sort of flight breed with longer wings and tails that fanned out a little.
Anyhow the new fantails are tucked away in a small coop until I can get them home. Two are peach colored and the third young one is red. They are a little thin but hopefully will thrive on a better diet. ------------------ Tori Fantails, Komorner Tumblers and Hungarian Giant House Pigeons

They're settling in great. The lil red one will sit in my hand. One peach or pink colored bird is banded with a NPA band. It is a fairly nice fantail and I think it is a hen hatched in 2000. The other two are not banded and are definately under a year old. I think they probably aren't more than a couple of months old. They are either both males or maybe one is a fiesty hen. Hopefully they will pair up with some of my single blue bar fantails.
