Please save the date! Compassion wins Little x Little: Bonus Matching Campaign is March 17th 7 am PST - March 20th 7 pm PST!
Hazelnut beat the odds. This tiny domestic pigeon, with fluffy grouse feet and beautiful nut-brown feathers, was stuck on the ground, unable to walk or fly, in pain and frightened and completely helpless. Her intake exam revealed a broken humerus in her wing and a fractured pelvis, robbing her of mobility and complicating her prognosis. But she had clear, bright eyes, and an unmistakable will to live.
With your help, Hazelnut received the veterinary care she needed, and with her own strong determination she is standing on her feet again, walking without a limp, and, though she may never be fully flighted again, she is able to use her wings to move around her foster home with ease.
When a bird is well on the way to recovery, they tend to get salty and sassy, and we welcome that fighting spirit. But Hazelnut, though spirited, has been nothing but sugar -- she just LOVES people! And she isn't a one-person bird, either -- she has bonded to her whole foster family! Hazelnut embodies the friendliness, scrappiness, and optimism that we celebrate in pigeons.
Your partnership in this lifesaving work is making all the difference for birds like Hazelnut, and there are so many more needing help! You are helping us rescue vulnerable birds year-round, giving them the care they need and the new lives they deserve.
We'll send you the link to our GlobalGiving Little x Little campaign, March 17th 7 am PST - March 20th 7 pm PST
GlobalGiving has a matching fund of $125,000 for this year's upcoming Little x Little campaign.

PLUS, Palomacy's super donors have pledged $11,000 in funds to match 100% of your donations to help us meet our fundraising goal of $20,000!
Please save the date, check your email and social media on March 17th, donate early if you can, and share the campaign with friends and family. Little by little, we are spreading kindness and saving lives!
