Slick's Story

Oil Slick has one of the most interesting rescue stories. This pigeon was found as a baby swimming in oil behind a bagel shop! With the odds stacked against him, Oil Slick was doing his best to keep his head above the grease. Thankfully this baby was saved, but he was very dehydrated from his ordeal. After his rescue, Slick was washed in Dawn soap until the cooking oil was cleansed away. The only reminder of Slick’s ordeal is a missing toe.<br/>Despite Oil Slick’s horrifying story he is a really happy pigeon! Stuffed animals bring him a lot of joy,’and he can often be seen dancing in his cage. This boy knows he is safe. His joyful demeanor is contagious! A reminder to leave the past behind and to be thankful for the moment.<br/>Aside from his cheery personality, Slick has the most gorgeous feathers. His iridescent neck contains the most special lilac color - An absolute breathtaking light purple decoration that contrasts beautifully with his deep green feathers. <br/>If you would like to provide our baby hero with a loving adoptive or foster home, he’ll be very grateful!
