Rae's Story
Rae’s beginning mirrors her sister Miffy’s—two tiny nestlings discovered in McKinley Park, sitting on the pavement with no adult pigeons nearby to guide or protect them. They were far too young to be on their own, but fate stepped in. A kind rescuer with bird experience scooped them up and offered exactly what they needed: warmth, safety, and gentle hands willing to feed them every few hours. From those fragile early days, Rae blossomed. Hand-feeding turned into healthy growth spurts, vet visits ensured she stayed strong, and the quiet love poured into her helped her grow into a confident young pigeon. Rae carries that hand-raised sweetness in her bones—she’s trusting, people-friendly, and has that soft, earnest way of looking at you as if she already knows she’s safe. Because she grew up in human care, Rae can’t be released into the wild. But she’s fully prepared for a life as a cherished indoor companion. She’s gentle and curious, enjoys watching people go about their day, and has a calm, affectionate energy that makes her easy to fall for. Whether she’s perched nearby like a polite little observer or showing off her newly-learned pigeon swagger, Rae is endlessly endearing. Now that she’s grown into a healthy young adult, Rae is ready for her forever home—a place where she’ll be loved for the sweet little survivor she is. She’ll thrive with someone who appreciates her hand-raised charm, her gentle spirit, and the quiet bond she offers to anyone who’s kind to her. Soft-hearted, people-friendly, and tender as a feather, Rae is ready to be someone’s treasured companion. 💛
