Review for Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

My husband and I recently noticed a "pink bird" that seemed to have taken up residence on our roof. Actually one of our dogs brought it to our attention that this bird was on our roof and hanging around our back yard. It was so unusual to see a "pink bird" so I started emailing different bird websites that I found on line asking if they knew what type of bird this was. It was consistently in our yard for almost two weeks which seemed very odd to me. Luckily I came across Elizabeth's website and sent her a picture of the bird asking if she knew what type of bird it was. Elizabeth emailed me immediately telling me that his was a domestic bird that someone had painted pink, probably for a wedding or some event and that we needed to catch it right away or it was very likely to be scooped up by a predator, being domestic it has no survival skills. To make a long story short, we caught it thinking we would be turning it over to someone local that was part of Elizabeth's team....however, my husband and I got a little attached to it so it is now living safely in a large cage in our back yard safe from harm. Elizabeth was and continues to be a great resource for us and I can't say enough about her devotion to these vulnerable birds. They really do make nice low maintenance pets.
