Ptarmigan

This is Ptarmigan. He is a pigeon, not a Willow Ptarmigan, and he would like you to know that he finds the comparison reductive. The Willow Ptarmigan is a round Arctic grouse who went viral on TikTok for screaming AWEBO! at cross-country skiers. Ptarmigan the pigeon has never screamed at anyone in his life. He’s been through enough without that.<br/>He came to us at one year old, thin and with a chest wound that took real time to heal. He made it, but not easily — it was patience, care, and honestly some luck. <br/>He’s white with black speckles, like someone flicked ink across fresh snow, and he’s observant in the way that someone is after you’ve had to survive. Quiet, watchful, a little wry. He’s not the bird who’s going to run up to you demanding attention — but once he decides you’re okay, he’ll let you know.<br/>What Ptarmigan needs now is simple: a calm home, and someone who’ll let him settle in at his own pace. He’s done with hard. He’s ready for easy.<br/>(The Willow Ptarmigan would like you to know it disagrees with everything in this profile. AWEBO.)
