Top Hat's Story

A kind person hiking in the Lafayette Reservoir just rescued this lovely "dove release" type Homer pigeon from being attacked by a dog. He's too weak & exhausted to fly & just let her scoop him up. She got him home, gave him bird feeder bird seed (which he immediately started eating) & found Palomacy. Now she's transporting him to a Palomacy foster. We'll provide more info as available.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
