Hi all,
My step-daughter wanted to rescue injured birds for a hobby 2 years ago. I built her a large bird house (4'x4'x6' tall). We found a male pigeon with a broken wing and gave him a name (Coo) and a home. She got onto this website/message board, and made friends with a lady named Cathy, from N. Cal. Cathy sent her a
female pigeon named Mora. Mora escaped and Cathy then sent Cleo. Coo & Cleo began having babies. Eventually we found another
injured pigeon. She started having babies with Coo & Cleo's babies.
Last fall my wife left me, and of course so did my step-daughter. They live in an apartment, and will probably do so for years to come. I am now responsible for 10 pigeons. The cage is probably too small for so many birds, although I don't know enough about their habits. Who knows, it could be The Ritz as far as they are concerned.
I got involved for the sake of my step-daughter. I really don't want to keep taking care of them. This was never really my idea of a hobby.
All but the 2 injured feral pigeons have been solely raised in captivity. I have no intention of letting them loose, since I know they would never make it.
I live in Mesa, AZ and want to know if there is anybody in the local area that would be willing to adopt the birds. I will continue to take care of them until I find a home. I have already discussed this with my step-daughter. She is the one who suggested I post here.
Thanks in advance for any replies, Tony
