Adrienne Ruork

Adrienne has been a volunteer with Palomacy for only a short while, but she hit the ground running. Aside from caring for twenty-two rescue pigeons and two rescue doves, she is also the Bird Database Coordinator for Palomacy, as well as a member of the Phone and Social Media teams. Her hobbies include snuggling pigeons, cleaning pigeon poop, taking pictures of pigeons, thinking about pigeons, huffing pigeons, getting wing-slapped by pigeons, and basically forfeiting any and all free will to her pigeon and dove overlords.

Dion Campbell

Dion, an artist by nature and a long-time bartender by trade, had always been interested in helping animals but never quite found a way to invest in the pursuit… until the Covid pandemic stopped the world and everything changed. One single pigeon rescue turned into many, and after making a few trips to WildCare with injured city pigeons, Dion resolved to find a new career helping animals. In the past four years, Dion has helped with the rescue, rehabilitation, release, and placement of hundreds of injured and orphaned pigeons. She volunteers with Palomacy as a Facebook Help Group Moderator, a Hotline Operator, and Rescue Volunteer. She currently works at WildCare’s pigeon-friendly Wildlife Center as the Social Media & Hotline Manager and lives in beautifully foggy San Francisco with her husband and son—who both help with pigeon rescue in every way they can—and an always fluctuating number of rescue animals, including Pickles the Pigeon.

Robin Utt Fajardo

Robin lives in New York City. Although always an animal lover, she didn’t get to know pigeons until her daughter rescued a baby during a bad storm. That event changed the whole family. They share their lives with a couple of unreleasable pigeons adopted from the Wild Bird Fund. Her daughter met, and fell in love with, a fellow pigeon enthusiast online! Retired, Robin and her husband devote their time to their multicultural community and to pigeons in need.
