We love our rescued and adopted pigeons and doves every day, 365 days a year (366 in 2024). And we love honoring your birds in our Palomacy calendars, shared all over the world! Your support for this special fundraiser helps birds every day.
It’s your support that makes it possible for us to rescue so many displaced, injured & ill birds: hawk-struck King pigeon Freedom, PMV survivor Willy, beloved and profoundly missed youngsters Crouton & Sprout (RIP), concussed and near death Paige, timed out shelter rescues Nilla and Graham and literally hundreds more. It’s your support that enables us to help so many birds & people on so many levels: responding to more than 1,000 online coaching & referral requests every month; providing foster homes to 240 birds; screening & assisting adopters for hundreds of placements; producing our unique rescue-centric website for more than 2,000 visitors daily… & so much more.
Thank you to our 221 participants- entrants & voters- who raised $7,358 & blew us away with 395 incredible images!

Congratulations to the entrants selected to be featured in the 2024 Palomacy Wall Calendar!
While we want the calendar to brighten walls with beautiful and striking photos, we also look for entries that tell a story.
These images showcase a diverse representation of birds the Palomacy community helps and interacts with: from the feral pigeons we inhabit a shared space with to the abandoned, injured, and lost pigeons and doves that have found a home with us.
Winning entries weave thoughtful, interesting stories that add depth and personality to who the bird or birds featured are. Whether it’s through the photo or the accompanying story, they communicate something about pigeons and doves emotionally. This may be their quirks as individuals, the hardships they’ve overcome, or their relationships with others, both bird and human.
Thank you for sharing this piece of your lives with us, and we look forward to amplifying your voice to Palomacy supporters across the globe.
