My Nonprofit Reviews

I was leaving a hotel in San Francisco and noticed a pigeon lying on the ground. The pigeon didn't move so I ran to my car, grabbed a pair of gloves, asked the hotel receptionist for a box, and upon closer examination, I noticed the bird had an injured wing. I scooped him up and placed him the box and began to frantically search for wildlife rescues. I reached out to the humane society who explained to me the bird was 5-6 weeks old and was used for pigeon racing due to the band around it's foot. The bird, now named Barry, had broken both its ulna and radius during what is believed to be his first training session as a racing pigeon. Once admitted to the SPCA, I was notified Palomacy would rescue Barry if the owner didn't claim him after the 4 day holding period. I immediately searched for Palomacy's website and began reading information about racing pigeons, pigeon care, their personalities, and just about anything else one may desire to learn about pigeons. I found joy in learning they enjoy looking at themselves in mirrors and they can wear pigeon pants to allow them to spend time outside of their aviary without making a mess. I couldn't wait until the holding period was up to find out Barry's fate but then I received a call stating Palomacy rescued him and took him to a vet where he's receiving excellent care. I felt tremendous relief knowing he would finally feel love and safety. I learned his wing will be amputated and he will finally have a quality of life with someone who values his beautiful soul and existence. I can't recommend Palomacy enough. They didn't hesitate to help him and I couldn't be more thankful.
