Critter Details

Zaichik the one-wing pigeon was a feral living wild and free around the Walnut Creek BART station when he suffered a serious injury that shattered his right wing (probably in a collision with a car, high tension wire or hawk). He was grounded and trying to survive when he was noticed by a kind person who caught him and appealed to Palomacy to rescue him. While our mission is to help the overwhelming number of domestic pigeons and doves in need of care, we do our best to take in unreleasable Rock pigeons when it is clear that they’ll never be releasable. Zaichik had his shattered and infected wing surgically removed and then healed up very quickly. He gets around fine in a busy aviary (though he can’t fly and needs ramps or ledges to reach the upper areas) and is very shy of people. (That might change with the right person and patience but currently he is what I call a birds’ bird. He’d love a mate and a forever home! (Zaichik means ‘little bunny’ in Russian.)Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
