Found Tippler Pigeon - Needs Loving Home
On may 3rd, I found a tippler pigeon trapped in between a wall and fence and almost dead. I didn't think she would make the night; she was "very" thin and weak. I put her in a small dog cage without any perches and placed her in my sun room since this is the warmest part of my house. I gave her water, mixed bird seed, and covered her for the night. I kept her in my sun room and in that cage for a few days. Later, I switched her to a larger cage 3x2x3 and moved her outside with some perches. I cover the cage when it rains and she seems very content. She has gained weight and is doing great! She even drops from her perch and comes over to the cage door whenever she sees me out back. My concern is this... She has a leg band on and I have called the owner several times with a full answer machine so I cannot even leave a message. So, I am assuming this number is no longer active. I live in the Bucks County, PA area and I am looking for the best home for this bird. I become very attached, very quickly to animals and I already care very much for Ms. Oscar (she grunts whenever my dogs go near her thus the name
). I always wanted an outside aviary but my plate is rather full right now; I have 4 dogs, 3 fish tanks, 2 small birds, and 5 gardens I tend too every day. I would love to find her a wonderful home where she can live out the rest of her days. She is a very beautiful bird. She is mostly white with some dark gray markings on her wings and tail. She also has purple and green markings mixed in with gray around her neck. And she has beautiful white eyes. Sorry, the pic does not do her justice, but you get the general idea of what she looks like. Does anyone know of a wonderful place that I can take her to in my area? Thank you in advance, Lena <><
