I'm DEVASTATED and HEARTBROKEN. ..my bird was 2 years old. She had a old broken wing injury so she couldn't fly. I cherishe'd my pigeon and she kissed me, followed me, rested on me, &everything a loving tame pigeon did. She even layed eggs for me. Me, my mother, and sister had to move so I was forced to have my dad babysit my pigeon. I had 2 other wildbirds i was looking after before setting them free. My dad is a 57 year old disabled man living in a senior/disabled persons building. Long story. So he babysat the 3 birds. I would email him asking if the birds are ok and he said they are ok. My mother and sister also said the birds are ok. I was worried naturally. Then I messaged my dad saying I'm coming to visit the birds and he seen the message but never replied then I started to panic because he always replied saying my birds are ok. I looked at my mothers facebook messages and read devastating news. I read that the burnaby wildlife sanctuary workers came with 2 police officers and took all 3 birds to the Burnaby wildlife sanctuary. I cryed and cryed then I immediately e-mailed the Burnaby wildlife sanctuary at 1am because that's the time I read the devastating news!! I had to wait hellish hours until the Burnaby wildlife sanctuary opened. Then I phoned them as soon as they opened and the lady on the phone laughed as I told her about my pigeon and the lady also said they get TONS of pigeons. Then they phoned back in a few hours saying they got the 3 birds and my pigeon was put to death because she had a old broken wing injury. ...my heart broke in half....I was heartbroken crying because I loved this precious pigeon. .... they took my pigeon and killed her...my dad says that the house cleanet lady phoned the police on him....my mother and sister also knew that the birds were taken to the Burnaby wildlife sanctuary but they never told me..they lied to me saying my bird is ok. I asked them so much if my bird is ok but they would lie and say yes....I found out 2 weeks later about the Burnaby wildlife sanctuary. ...they kills pigeons and healthy birds..they call themselves a "bird rehabilitation" but kill pigeons and birds who can't fly but are healthy. ....ive been crying and crying.....its devastating for me.. the Burnaby wildlife sanctuary website is→→→ wildliferescue.ca ←← &they kill pet birds and healthy birds like mine that can't fly...I'm HEARTBROKEN. ...I will get more pigeons/doves in the future but this pigeon was my treasure. ...she's gone now... <\3

Karen, simply go on kijiji and you will find many there often offered for free to good home. Also call the crpu and get some members names local to you and you can call a few breeders and ask if they have any they want to retire to you or any young birds they dont want. I have gotten MANY good purebred stock from other racers and highflyers who dont want them. At the end of each racing season they have so many they cull there are tons to go around. If you want a baby tho, you may have to pay 20 bucks. I was given at least 3 squeakers by generous breeders for free. Ask and you shall receive.

Call here: 1 (613) 659-3040 and email Connie here: crpu@crpu.ca
She will give you names of breeders in your area.
