Hi all
I am looking for a Male flightless pigeon to keep as companion to my lovely girl pigeon and thought I'de leave a post here in case you all know of a bird in need of a home. My girl Pij has but one wing and was rescued several years ago. Shes perfectly healthy, happy and wanting a male companion. I live in Virginia but can be flexible if there is a bird within reasonable travel distance. This would be a dream retirement as I have a clean, safe indoor/outdoor space, a family that adores animals, and a retired vet in the family. I would prefer if the male were at least semi-social. Please let me know if you come across a guy who needs a home. Thanks
Laurie

Laurie,
I don't have a pigeon that meets your criteria but your post is a lovely one to start the day. I'm sure someone on the forum will have the pigeon of your little girl's dreams.

Laurie,
a while back there was a posting in the for adoption section of the forum. It was a posting of a pigeon rescue in Chicago, IL area.

I e-mail the lady to get some more information, which is something I do often. Anyways she then currently had a blind pigeon named Joey in need of a home. It was friendly and didn't seem to mind being held.

They get pigeons with injured wings or blindness often and some are even tame, fancy, and pet pigeons.

Her e-mail adress is vandrla@sbcglobal.net, please e-mail her and ask what she has for adoption.

I have a checkered pigeon named Hamilton (domestic), father to the Earl of Skye , looking for a hen with similar disablitity, who has a permanent wing injury but gets along very well and is in excellent health. He holds his wing up very well and it doesn't seem to look damaged at all, but he can only lift it so far.

He lives in a protected aviary all day, and I put him in his cubby at night, he just misses his former mate who has found a new flighted mate.

Hi Laurie I am currently rehabbing a male Feral that has a broken shoulder and the vet said he probably won't be able to go back to the wild. I couldn't let the vet put him down as he needs a chance to recover with hopes he may be able to be returned to his wild enviroment. He still has about 3 weeks for recovery but if he can't go to the wild I am trying to find him a good home. I live in Michigan though. If you may be interested please let me know, maybe we can work something out

Regards
Cindy

I reminds me of a song.

So glad you have choices for your girl.

Hi Trees-
How do I get in touch with you so that we can talk about Hamilton? I've spoken to Pij about her prospective suitors and shes beyond excited!

Hi Laurie,

I recommend you send her a private message. She gifted Rosco to me a bit over a year ago. He is such a darling.Her niceness rubs off on her pigeons...it does.

We just returned from our "most excellent adventure #2 " trip to Georgia and brought Hamilton up with us. We met Laurie there and Hamilton is now residing in Virginia with Penelope.

I have a couple of pictures of his last days with us.

The last day in the baby-doll aviary, Hamilton checking out the "chicks" (homing hens) next door.

Here is a picture of Hamilton in my sons' backyard in Georgia:

Thanks Terry......more to follow

Im glad everything worked out.

I have a male, Pure white racer, that has a wing problem and flies diagnal (with his whole body) and hardly ever upwards. He is not banned though, as when i came beack from my trip he had hatched early and missed his day, by 2 days.

I also have a female ferral that came form a rehabbers aviary, that has an un-reparable broken wing. That has been mated with the white one. She is relativly older than the white pigeon. As he is about a year old and the female is over 2. Who knows by how much but only lays one egg each clutch.

Im not going to seperate them. But if you were really desperately looking for a pair, granted you provide them a forever home I would be willing to try to send them to you.

But I am in no way wanting to give them away. As I love them both.

The female is a bit timid as it has never been handle from the previous owner.

I have had her about 4 months .
