Please clarify...I cannot make it to Carlsbad this week...but I just took in 4 doves from Fallenweeble and could provide a home for another bird...what has to happen to get this bird out of the shelter and into a forever home?

Somebody needs to go spring it from the shelter and pay the adoption fee, if any. I'm hoping that our member, Michael, might go do this for this bird and the other one that is in his area.

Also, do be aware that there is sometimes a large time frame between the time the birds actually go into the shelters and when we see them on 911 Pigeon Alert and can take action on them there. Often, the birds that were sent to us and that we post are already gone.

I think you will get all the birds you can handle, Kippermom, just from the shelters there in your area, but bless you for following the adoptions and offering a home.

Just keep me posted...I have a little room for doves or pigeons and can retrieve some myself depending on location and timing...all of my birds are rescues or their offspring...we're not picky!

I will call to night to see if it is up for adoption and see if my dad and I can go pick it up.

I have not heard of the other one yet? Please inform me to see if I can be of assistance on that one too.

I found the other thread. Im currently calling the shelters and if they are up for adoption ill ask my dad if we can go pick up the dove. Its 11 mins from us. Ill also ask about the pigeon. Although it is almost an hour away. Im going to call right now!


**THIS SHELTER IS CLOSED right now I will call the other one.

Michael,

Thank you so much for trying to get through to the shelters. I know it can be extremely frustrating .. makes you wonder how anyone is ever able to get any adoption information from some of the shelters. I know they are under funded, under staffed, and usually overwhelmed with animals, but it's still very frustrating.

I can totally agree with you.You are quite welcome but you dont have to thank me. Thanx to you I might be able to help them. I cant make it down to Bonita. As My dad just got a new job with cox. His only days off are friday,sat, and sun. So hes going to the shelter on friday. Ill see if I can skip school and go with him. Then Ill give you all an update if It is up for adoption. There is also a female pigeon stuck in the shelter too. Id it is up for adoption Ill pick her up too. And if there are any other pigeons or doves not listed Ill get them too.

Till friday theres nothing much I can do. Lets hope they can hang in there.

Thanks again, Michael, but don't you be skipping school for this, please! If you can help, that will be wonderful, but we all understand that you have other obligations that take priority. I also understand about Bonita .. don't worry about it. You are wise, however, if you do make it to a shelter to ask about birds other than just the one you went there for .. often there are others. For any you might be able to get out of the shelter, we will be happy to help find homes for them. It's just that if they stay at the shelter long enough, they end up being euthanized simply because there is really no room for them and the shelters are not really up on looking after birds.

Went to the shelter today (After school). It was a 1/2 an hour drive, so my dad was kind of mad, but he's fine with it. We got there and my dad relized he left his wallet at home. Not that he was going to pay the adoption fee but we needed his ID to pick up the birds. Well since we didnt see allowed us to at least look at them.

The white dove is fine. I also was on the web site and there was a grey and white pigeon for adoption. It looked really bad in the picture. But the lady said the birds had been their forever. We its looks GREAT now.

Since we couldnt take them home im going back tomorrow to finally take them . They will cost $5 together. So ill donate them $15. I told them I was going to be doing Project Wild life. ANd they said I would get any wild ones they had for free.

SO thats great. But as for the birds they will be home tomorrow morning. I will keep the pigeon, but will need to find a new owner for the dove.

Ill take pictures tomorrow the pigeon is very pretty! Along with the dove!

Thank you, Michael, and please thank your Dad on behalf of all of us at Pigeon-Talk! We'll work things out to find homes when needed. Please see Mararret's post to you about being able to ride to and from the Pageant of Pigeons with her and her husband. I would be happy to speak with your parents if needed to smooth the way for this.

Keep us posted about the shelter birds, please!
