Elote's Story

¡Hola! My name is Elote, and I’m named after the tastiest treat you can find on the streets of Mexico. ¡Que rico!<br/><br/>I used to be a wild child, hanging with my feral buddies on the streets, until one fateful day, I was trapped! My first experience with hands was not the kindest, I’ll admit. The person who caught me yanked out every single one of my primary feathers—the feathers I use to fly. Pobrecito, no? They didn’t want me to be able to fly, because they wanted to use me… to train hunting dogs!<br/><br/>It was terrifying. I’m not sure what happened to my friends that were trapped with me. But I made it out, and a kind lady whisked me away to GLPR. <br/><br/>I’ll admit that I was pretty scared of my rescuers at first. But I spent some time at the rescue, feasting on yummy seeds and fresh water… and I came around. As it turns out, the pet pigeon life is actually pretty cushy. If you decide to give me a forever home, I promise to be a good birb!
