Calvera's Story

Calvera is a blue bar pigeon from the South Loop who is blind in his right eye, which he treats as irrelevant to the proceedings. He has opinions about this and most other things.<br/>Calvera is a talker. Not occasionally — consistently, enthusiastically, with strong conviction that whatever he’s saying is worth hearing. He fills a room with commentary and is not shy about interrupting. He has taken a look at every space he’s been in and decided it’s his studio now.<br/>He does opening remarks in the morning. He has takes on snacks. He will cut in before you’re finished if the pacing calls for it. There is a clear expectation that you are the audience, and you should be listening.<br/>Calvera is looking for a forever home where someone will appreciate a bird with this level of presence and this many thoughts. He has moved past survival, and is now fully in his main character era. The show is ongoing. He just needs a permanent set!
