Gremblin thanks you for saving his life
Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart. -Rumi
Your tender heart saved the life of a tiny, skinny and badly injured Valencian Figurita pigeon named Gremblin. Rescued on May 17th, he’s been hospitalized twice and there were times we feared he wouldn’t make it. Our Care Coordinator Jill has appointed herself his round-the-clock nurse and he rewards all of our kindnesses with an impossibly grumpy, bitey, wee ferocity that makes us swoon.
Echo, a “released” King pigeon found with a huge, terrible neck wound, was facing shelter euthanasia until Palomacy volunteers and donors intervened, saving his life. Lovingly fostered by Nath and Darren, he’s made a full recovery and is working on winning a mate.
Echo’s wound was stitched & he began recovering on 4/22
On the night of June 22nd, we were alerted to a broke wing racing pigeon who had been hiding in a garage for eight days, being fed by the kindly homeowner who was hoping she would heal up and fly away. Palomacy rushed to help her.
Raced pigeon Corazón, badly injured by a hawk, took refuge in a garage
We named her Corazón and rushed her to Medical Center for Birds where the vets, in partnership with our Care Coordinator Jill, did everything they could to save her. Ultimately the necrotic wound was too deep, too severe. On Sunday July 4th, she was, through tears, lovingly euthanized to release her from suffering. She is missed and loved. Your tenderness helped Corazón when she needed it most.
We all, volunteers, vets & Corazón, tried our best. Rest in peace, sweet bird.
We were amazed when a young, lost, completely emaciated racing pigeon was rescued alive, despite weighing only half of what she should have. With gentle supportive care, Merritt has made a full recovery and will never be exploited again.
Merritt lost half her body weight & nearly starved before being rescued
There are so many… See Death Defying Rescues, Peepers: Brought Back to Life, The Car Lot Kings and lots more on our blog. Every day, across all the miles and time zones and issues and challenges, we are coming together to help gentle little birds that used to go unnoticed.
We are saving individuals, sharing their stories, raising awareness and creating compassion as we do.
Thank you for being our greatest strength.
