Location:

San Francisco, CA

Description:

Update 6/1/23: Clever is a mellow senior citizen King pigeon who would love to be fostered or adopted in a slow-lane-style setting & bonus score if there is a single lady who might like his type. Clever's mate Augustus divorced him last year. Due to foster home availability changes, he's been transferred to the Ploughshares foster flock in Alameda & seems to be settling in but he's showing his age & time will tell if he has the moves to get remarried in this big busy flock. Update 11/21/20: Clever has married a gentle racing survivor named Augustus and they have moved to a new foster aviary. Clever has blossomed into a grown up guy with lots of personality!Update 7/5/2020: Today, Clever went off to a new foster to adopt aviary where we hope he will make a love match!Clever is a survivor of the squab industry who was inhumanely released then sought shelter in Alameda backyards until injured by a predator. He cleverly survived by self-rescuing in a public beach bathroom.We initially thought Clever was a girl but as soon as he got more comfortable in foster care he started strutting for himself in the mirror and for his reflection in the window at night. Clever is quite mellow and keeps to himself. He’s becoming less flighty when approached by his foster mom but he's still got a ways to go. She is helping to clean some oily dirt from Clever’s feathers. In his current state, he can't fly well and that’s probably affecting his confidence. We think that when he’s finally clean and relaxed, he will turn into a whole new bird! He's already super smart and is starting to train his foster mom to do what he wants! He is also getting used to pants. Clever is on the way to making a wonderful pet pigeon.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.
