So Many Pigeons In Need Of Homes ..

[TAWhatley]

Hi All,

I can't believe the number of California pigeons needing homes right now ..

30 in Altadena currently scheduled to be housed at Bart's until homes are found .. I do not know what kind of pigeons these are nor what condition they are in. Owner is seeking homes due to severe allergies to them.

12 in Central California .. all disabled and non-releasable. They will be euthanized if homes cannot be found

15 from Central California that I took in last week .. Rena adopted 1 of these, and most of rest I will be keeping

5 from the Pasadena Humane Society last week .. one has been adopted by Rena - the remaining birds are white birds, one fancy breed banded but not traceable

1 Ringneck Dove from the Pasadena Humane Society, currently with me and my other rescued doves

2 coming from Northern California next Thursday that I will be adopting (this is Opus and Jelly from here at Pigeon-Talk)

I haven't had the heart or courage to check the Southern California animal shelter/humane sites ..

If anyone is interested in adopting any of these birds, please let me know.

Thanks!

Terry

OMG, Terry, way too many birds need homes.
I hope some day I will be able to take in more birds.

Oh golly...

Used to be here in Las Vegas, there were three older couples who had nice set-ups for non-releaseable Pigeons.

Time passes, they did too...that, and the Airport expanded, everything got so expensive here, all the old wacky 'Ranchettes' that sat by themselves for so long, squished against by housing developements...

I have four of my own non-releaseables living in my Appartment with me ( maybe five)...

Once I am moved and have my own property, I will build some Aviaries again, and, have a proper spacious outdoor/indoor Home for my own accumulating non-releaseable ones to live into their ( and I guess, my!) old age in comfort and fun.

...sigh...wish I could do more...

Thanks everyone! Robby, did you ever enter your contact information in the 911 Pigeon Alert Database? Trust me, your time will come and probably soon .. we get quite a few birds from your part of the country on 911 that end up needing some help.

If you can bail them out. I can take them and find homes for them. We should take care of So. Cal too. Or is the number to great. I receive calls everyday looking for birds.

Depending on total price, I'd love to get some of the doves

by any chance are any of thoes pigeons, owls? I've been looking for some of thoes for as long as I can remember, but noone seems to have any.

Hi Dan,

There aren't any Owls in the rescued pigeons that have arrived thus far. More are due in from Northern and Central California next weekend.

You might check at http://www.petfinder.com and see what may be at shelters in your area.

I LOVE pigeons and used to have about 30. But where I live right now I'm not able to have a large coop. I'm VERY eager to adopt a single pigeon or a pair to live inside my home as pets. I'm only a little hesitant because I want friendly pigeons that enjoy people. I live in Maryland so I will happily pay for shipping. Let me know if you think there's a match out there for me.
