Palomacy Saves Domestic Pigeons & Doves 2023

I first learned of Palomacy (then MickaCoo) nine years ago when my husband and I were seeking a feathered companion for Peggy Sue, our tame and unreleasable feral pigeon. Like most people, I had never heard of a domestic pigeon and had no idea that so many of them were winding up in shelters with little to no hope of finding homes.

We adopted Claudette, a lovely King pigeon with a calm and gentle temperament. During the adoption process, I became captivated by the rescue stories on their website and was deeply moved by Elizabeth and the many volunteers’ dedication to helping these sweet and vulnerable creatures.

In addition to adopting, I wanted to help in any way I could and I've been volunteering ever since. I help raise awareness through outreach at adoption events & raise funds at special events. I chair Palomacy's advisory committee, help design and build aviaries, and we have an aviary in our back yard for special needs foster pigeons. We've also adopted two more pigeons, Dupree and Corrina, each with their own unique and charming personality.

There are lots of ways to help. Palomacy is caring for more than 100 amazing birds waiting to be adopted, waiting to go home... And, if you can't adopt, we always need more foster homes, volunteers and donors. 

And right now, if you make a donation to Palomacy through GlobalGiving here, your donation will earn a much needed +50% bonus match (while funds last)!

Palomacy provides vital rescue service, medical care, long term foster homes and adoptions for so many pigeons and doves- locally, nationally and beyond. Your support- as an adopter, a volunteer, a donor- saves  birds' lives. 

Thank you!
