Adopt Cooper w/Swan a Gray Pigeon bird in San Francisco, CA (41530937)

Location:

San Francisco, CA

Description:

11/15/19 Update: Cooper's beautiful wife Boba passed away as a result of reproductive disease & subsequent kidney failure. Despite her illness, they were comfy & happy (thanks to their foster volunteer & avian vets) & honeymooning right up till the end. The widower Cooper is now single & in time, will remarry.Cooper is a very sweet, soulful pigeon who is very happy to be married to Boba (also a pigeon racing survivor). Cooper & his rescue-pal Wicket were 'surplus' racing pigeons that were sold for use as 'dog birds' (to train hunting dogs). Their wings & tail were cut as short as possible, the shortest I've ever seen. They couldn't even jump up on the low ledge in my aviary. They were found stray in a South Bay parking lot (likely bought & 'released' where feral pigeons live by someone thinking they'd be able to survive, they wouldn't have). They were very lucky to be rescued in time & taken to the Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley who helped them until Palomacy could take them into foster care. Pigeon racing kills birds in lots of different ways. #FlyYourOwnDamnRacePlease apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/ May 28, 2024, 6:43 am
