Tillywink's Story

Hi! I’m Tillywink. I started life as a squeaker with a right leg that had already decided to do its own thing. It was badly fractured and healed all wrong, so now it’s fused into a permanently wonky situation. I don’t walk in straight lines—I wobble with confidence. It works!<br/>I love people. Big fan. When you look at me or talk to me, I get excited and start bobbing and shuffling around like I’m auditioning for a tiny pigeon talent show. The humans call it dancing. I call it being correctly enthusiastic. My foot adds a little extra rhythm whether I asked for it or not.<br/>I’m very sweet and easygoing. New things don’t bother me much, and I settle into routines quickly. I like being near people while they do human stuff, just in case attention becomes available. A soft blanket nearby is a bonus—it’s my preferred spot to rest and recharge between dances.<br/>My leg might be crooked, but my personality is solid! I get around just fine and live a perfectly normal pigeon life—just with more wiggle and charm. If you’re looking for a friendly little bird with a goofy walk, a soft heart, and a built-in dance routine, that’s me! 💛
