URGENT help needed in S.FLI received an email from my friend who runs the Folke Peterson Wildlife Center in Palm Beach. It is a devastating situation for all of us down here as the center has to shut down due to financial problems. All animals have to go. My friend has worked so hard to keep the place up and never put any animal that could be saved to sleep and now she is faced with this terrible situation.
She asked me to help with the pigeons. There are about fourty, mostly fancys, kings, homers. I don't have pics yet, I will tell her to send some for those who are interested. Please, if you can take some or know of anybody who would or any organization who could take in as many as possible that would save some lives. Reti

Reti, I'm so sorry that the center has to be closed. Maybe you should post also on Starling Talk, you never know if someone can help out there. I know there are alot of members in Florida and it can't hurt. If you need the box that you sent me, I can ship it back to you. It breaks my heart just thinking about the situation. mindy

Ugh, what a terrible thing to happen to these poor people and animals. Why are there so many animals that need help and never enough homes.
 I hope they are able to find homes. What a terrible shame.

This is so very sad, Reti. If any of these birds are banded with potentially traceable bands, please get the band info to me ASAP .. I will do all I can to "kick butt" with the banding organizations to take care of their own. For the ferals and unbanded ones, then post here, and we'll do the best we can.

I will adopt a few fancies, just let me know what they are, may be interested in some of the homers too perhaps, would like see pics of the homers though.

Thank you all so much.
I just got home from work and will email Vered (my friend) to get the band numbers and pics. Mindy, thank you so much, you saved me a lot of time as I am working 6 days back to back with one day off only in between. The other animals should be easier to place in different wildlife centers but no center that we know off takes pigeons. Poor babies, they are not wanted by anybody (except us). I hope they will never know that awful truth. Thank you again. You guys are so wonderful. Reti

Folke Peterson wildlife center/CLOSINGI posted on starling talk and on the squirrel board about this center closing and the pigeons needing homes. They have a question on The squirrel board and i don't feel, since I'm a new pigeon owner myself that I can answer it. They want to know why can't the pigeons be released? Any comments would be helpful so I can give them an answer. Thank you mindy

That is such a shame. I know there are others that are in jeopardy of closing too, due to a major decline in donations.
It would be helpful to know, as Renee asked, just what kind of Pigeons they are talking about.
