Myrta W/ Parsnip, Pigeon For Adoption In San Francisco, California

Price:

$10

Location:

San Francisco, CA

Description:

Update 10/2021: Sadly, Myrta's first husbird, Felix, recently passed away. After a brief period of widowhood, she remarried feisty guy Parsnip!Please meet very clever King pigeon, Myrta. She was caught by a hawk in front of a local house and when the homeowner opened the door, he startled the hawk who dropped Myrta. She saw an opportunity with an open door and flew partway, then ran inside! Needless to say, this happened very fast and the homeowner was baffled, but he went inside and realized he had to help the pigeon! They contacted a friend who had previously volunteered at the Hayward animal shelter and saw Palomacy's presentation introducing pigeons! This kind friend has offered to foster Myrta while she heals from her puncture wounds. We know Myrta is feeling quite a bit better because in her first days with Palomacy, she was wooed by an older King pigeon named Felix. They are now married!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/January 24, 2024, 5:27 amAdoption processWe require an online adoption application, phone screen & home visit and offer lots of support and coaching all along the way.
