Comments Off on Eggs & Feggs: Hatch Prevention
Pigeons lay eggs and then build their nest around them (or not) Photo credit Sammy Mikus
When bonded, a female pigeon will usually lay two eggs approximately every four weeks. Year round. If fertile but not removed and replaced with fakes (feggs), the eggs will hatch in 18 days, and the babies will leave the nest (fledge) at around four weeks which is when the parents stop caring for them and want the youngsters out of their area. Pigeons reach sexual maturity around four to six months which means that, unless every real egg is removed, you’re going to have a lot of pigeons very quickly! Keep in mind that all the offspring will breed, too; yes, a brother-sister (or even a parent-youngster) pair will breed and produce offspring! (All of this applies to doves as well except on a faster time schedule. Dove eggs hatch in 14 days, doves lay two eggs every three weeks and doves mature at about three months old.)
Porcelain fegg, real egg, wooden fegg
Pigeons aren’t spayed or neutered and will bond and lay eggs despite the most challenging conditions. The solution? You must remove and destroy (by freezing or breaking) every real egg at three to five days after they are laid (while cells are still organizing and before the chick is formed). And, to keep your pigeons content, replace them with feggs. You can buy (or make) fake eggs. Feggs don’t fool pigeons and they don’t prevent egg-laying. The feggs just allow pigeons to have the pleasure of nest-building and egg-sitting (both of which they really enjoy) without hatching more pigeons, upsetting the pair’s relationship and/or harming the health of the laying female who will lay more too quickly if her real eggs are just removed without replacements. Leave the feggs until the sitting pigeons lose interest and quit the nest to have a honeymoon week. Always monitor what your pigeons are sitting on! Check what they are sitting on frequently. Pigeons will sometimes lay an extra egg or even two more without ever quitting their feggs. Check nests thoroughly. Pigeons will occasionally bury the real or fake eggs in their nest, so be thorough to make sure you haven’t missed any. Only freezing or boiling or breaking will interrupt the eggs’ development. Eggs that have been refrigerated, shaken (addled), cracked, etc. can still hatch, so best to use feggs.

I also strongly recommend replacing suspected infertile eggs, too, since they can sometimes surprise you. If you have a male pigeon (or a pigeon whose gender you aren’t 100% sure of), even if the laying female is bonded to another female or bonded to a person. I’ve seen and heard of many cases of a female pigeon mating with a male she isn’t bonded with. Also, a female pigeon may have a past; she could’ve mated with a male in a previous home over a month ago and still lay fertilized eggs.
Pigeons are understandably territorial about their nests and protective of their eggs (or feggs). Most will puff up big, glare, posture, wing whack and even bite your tresspassing hand. (Their courage is impressive. They stand their ground to protect their eggs.) That is all normal and while it will probably hurt your feelings, it won’t hurt you physically. (Pigeons’ beaks and jaws are so weak they are literally called soft bills, unlike parrots who are called hook bills.) Pigeons don’t like it when we check under them to see what they are sitting on and trade their real eggs for fakes but they tolerate it as just another of many strange things that their human friends do. Pigeons are very forgiving and all about the present. While mad in the moment, they’ll resume loving (or learning to love) you when its done.
No, sitting on fake eggs will not make your pigeons depressed. And it is unsustainable to let them hatch their eggs! They will continue to lay eggs after hatching and raising a clutch, often laying new eggs while the young are still in the nest. Pigeons don’t have to have babies to be happy and fulfilled. They find joy in nesting and being with their mate, but usually don’t have much affection for their offspring after they’re four weeks old.
Pigeon pairs all have their own style of nest-sitting. (Wink & Yuzu by Shae Irving)
If pet pigeons are allowed to hatch their eggs, there’s a lot that can go wrong. While many pigeons are great parents, not all of them are. First-time parents in particular often make mistakes. If one or both of the babies end up being abandoned by the parents, the human caretaker will have to step in and raise them. Keep in mind that pigeon hatchlings are very frail and hard to successfully raise, especially for someone who isn’t knowledgeable.
Allowing pet pigeons to breed can also result in the offspring hatching with genetic issues (such as splay leg) that could result in permanent disability and/or an expensive trip to the vet. (See Sugar’s story.) Anyone allowing their pet pigeons to breed should be fully prepared to take the fragile babies to the vet if something goes wrong. And be committed to providing them a safe and happy home for approximately 10+ years. (There isn’t any room for your unwanted pigeons. Every rescuer is beyond full.)

Speaking of the vet, it’s important to know that raising babies is hard on pigeon parents, especially more fragile domestic breeds or birds with disabilities. Feeding, sitting on, and protecting the babies stresses the parents and lowers their immune system, which means it’s easier for them to get sick or have issues with an overload of parasites.
Remember— those cute baby pigeons will grow up and behave like adults in less than 2 months! And they will take up the same amount of space as any other adult pigeon. I’ve heard countless stories of babies growing up to bully their parents. (If you can’t handle another two male pigeons, you definitely shouldn’t be thinking about letting your pigeons hatch their eggs!) Most pigeons lose their attachment to their offspring pretty quick; they will not be able to share a cage with them.

Comments Off on Pigeons & Doves Are Not HPAI/Avian Influenza Carriers
Jenna & Turkey the pigeon, Photo credit Jenna Close
This is Palomacy’s official statement on HPAI / Avian Influenza / Bird Flu as of 1/19/25. We have been getting a lot of questions about this lately and have consulted with trusted avian vets and wildlife rehabbers to provide the following answers.
HPAI – Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza or Bird Fu – is a yearly event in the world now. This year it has spread from water fowl to cows, cats and raptors. Pigeons (and doves) are at very low risk for HPAI, and those few pigeons who have tested positive were not symptomatic and were associated with cow droppings (amongst which the pigeons were feeding) that contained it, which is likely why their tests were positive. Pigeons and doves are not, at this time, a vector for the disease.
Even so, good bio security is recommended. Shoes are the biggest transmitter, so Palomacy recommends a separate pair of shoes for aviary pigeons and doves and that people with house birds remove shoes in the house or switch to a house only pair.
If you are in a waterfowl heavy area, consider covering your entire aviary roof temporarily to keep out droppings from infected birds.
Rescue brand disinfectant is the best cleaning agent to combat HPAI.
At this time, Palomacy is not concerned about HPAI transmission in either pigeons or doves. We have consulted our vets and wildlife rehab experts and they are not concerned either. However, it’s always best to practice good biosecurity, especially now.
Thank you to Jenna Close, founder of Moose’s Flock, avian vet Dr. Athena Gianopoulos. DVM, and WildCare staff, especially Dion Campbell, for the information.

Craig & Marjoram (Photo Courtesy of Mrs. Newmark)
Palomacy visited Craig and his wife, Eileen, to thank them for their recent donation. We had fun being bird nerds together and he and Eileen got their annual pigeon snuggles in. We so appreciate the support they provide our feathered friends. Nessie (blind homer), Marjoram (available for adoption) and Belinay (hospice pigeon) provided the snuggles.

Craig Newmark is many things: the founder of craigslist, an “accidental entrepreneur,” a self-proclaimed old-school nerd, a full-time philanthropist and a life-long lover of pigeons. He named his favorite neighborhood pigeon Ghost Faced Killer. (Good one!)
Palomacy, with Craig’s very generous support, saves hundreds of pigeons and doves through hands-on rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming in Northern California. We leverage our expertise, resources, and connections to help thousands more out-of-area birds, both nationally and internationally, every year. We save lives directly and by raising awareness and compassion for these birds, who have been overlooked and underserved for too long. Together with an increasing number of fellow rescues and advocates, we are reversing the unfair stigma against pigeons and showing the world they deserve our respect and protection.
Palomacy is profoundly honored and grateful to receive our largest donation ever- a grant for $30,000- from our biggest supporter, Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
Thank you, Craig, for all you are doing “to support and connect people and drive broad civic engagement… to advance grassroots organizations that are effective and getting stuff done” and to help pigeons.

Comments Off on Elizabeth’s Leave of Absence
4/16/25 Update:
Dear Friends,
I’m writing to let you know that I’m taking a three-month leave of absence beginning January 20, 2025.
I’ve been trying for quite a while to find the right words to express how incredibly grateful I am to the amazing Palomacy community. You all have given me so much hope and faith throughout these past 17 years. We live in a hard world that often feels heartless- except within this kind, compassionate, generous family that we have created together. You all are truly the best of the best.
Though I’ll be taking a break from bird rescue, Palomacy will continue thanks to our many flock members working their miracles every day.
Jill (McMurchy) Shepard will be Acting Executive Director and taking over many of my responsibilities in addition to her role as Care Director. Please support her as enthusiastically as you always do (and maybe even a little more). Our Board Treasurer Jenna Close will provide extra support on the financial and organizational administration side of things. Rose Lalla Jensen is the Administrator and Lead Moderator for our online Palomacy Help Group. Dion Campbell is our Phone Line Lead (415 851-5948). Heather Hohlowski will be publishing your stories and articles to our website, blog and newsletter. Board member Aileen (Ellie) Paterson will manage our GlobalGiving reports and appeals. And there are over 100 more dedicated volunteers helping to do everything- all the rescuing, fostering, aviary cleaning, rehoming, care coaching, supporting, publicizing, posting, fundraising and advocating for our precious birds!
Together you are every day making the world-changing, life-saving difference for pigeons and doves that they said couldn’t be done.
I thank you with all my heart for carrying on while I take a break.
With love and gratitude,
Elizabeth Young, Palomacy founder

Comments Off on For the Special Guys
Nicole & Fig with Guy
Your amazing support- as volunteers, adopters, donors- makes a profound life and death difference for so many birds! Here’s the story of one of them.
Foster volunteer Nicole writes, “A local animal hero and veterinarian reached out to Palomacy looking for a spot for a splay-legged feral pigeon child. I picked him up and brought him back to work with me. By the time my shift was over, my boss had named the little pigeon “Guy Fieri” because of his golden baby fuzzy feather threads that looked like Guy’s frosted tips.”
Baby Guy’s first day with Palomacy
Splay legs, a condition where a bird’s legs develop abnormally outward, often due to nest conditions or nutritional deficiencies, can sometimes be corrected with hobbles and time. But Guy’s hobbling didn’t work due to his too-loose joints and his vet team recommended we let him finish growing, then bring him back to discuss potential surgical options. Foster mom Nicole was charged with continuing to provide optimal nutrition and soft comfy furnishings to ensure his best quality of life.
In those months, Guy grew out of his frosted tips, pair-bonded to Nicole, made friends with and charmed a handful of Palomacy volunteers, and became buddies with a bunch of his fellow foster birds, including a massive orphaned baby king pigeon named Pogo, who adores him. (See Guy’s video.)
Guy & Pogo
Guy hangs out with the other birds in the house and in the aviary (with supervision) and freely flies from one soft bed to another or to whichever humans are around. He is known to follow Nicole when she leaves the room, hovering right behind while she walks around until she stops and catches the little bird flying right at her face.
Now that Guy is all grown up, his vets have declared him ready. They are optimistic that a surgery that fuses each of his two stifles (femorotibiotarsal luxation repair) will get him up on his feet, the life-changing surgery that will fix his legs so that he can stand up, walk, and strut his stuff.
It’s your amazing support that allows Palomacy to save birds like Guy and so many others. Thanks to you all (with extra special thanks to our 61 foster volunteers), Palomacy has provided foster care for 270 rescued pigeons and doves in homes and aviaries every day of this year (and placed 122 in forever homes). We don’t have a shelter or sanctuary, so it is this foster network that is the heart and soul of Palomacy’s work.
This screenshot shows 1/3 of our fostered birds
With your support, Palomacy also operates a pigeon and dove rescue and adoption helpline (415 851-5948). Every day our expert volunteers respond to calls and texts from all over the country helping people to rescue birds, to find rehabbers and vets, to get answers to their care questions and worries; more than 14,000 interactions this year.
And our online Help Group serves even more birds! This is the fastest best place to get help for pigeons and doves. It is an incredible ever-growing mutual aid community, led and moderated by 20 of Palomacy’s most knowledgeable volunteers, where 37,000 active members convene to help each other help birds. It is a 24/7/365 lifeline for pigeons and doves and people trying to help them.
Palomacy depends on your support for everything we do. The number of requests for help keep increasing, and so do the costs. The year is nearly finished and we still need to raise $28,000 to cover our expenses (including Guy’s surgery). If you can, please donate today. You can donate online via credit card, PayPal or Venmo, you can send a check to Palomacy at PO Box 24585, SF, CA 94124, you can donate stock by emailing Elizabeth@pigeonrescue.org. Any which way you give helps Palomacy to help these birds.
They are all special guys.
Special Guy
Guy Says Hi!
Thanks to you, we have raised $6,266 towards
our year-end goal of $28,000!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I know how daunting raising $21,734 more is.
The good news is that there are so many pigeon & dove lovers supporting this effort!
Three thousand Palomacy friends are reading this right now… Sixty-five of you have already contributed to this final 2024 ask.
WE CAN DO THIS!
Guy is surrounded by special friends
Guy’s splay-leg correcting surgery has been post-poned for two weeks to ensure world reknowned avian veterinarian Dr. Brian Speer himself will do his operation. (See Guy’s video.) In the meantime, Guy is getting even more mature and strong and confident, soaking up all the loving care his foster family lavishes on him.
Guy coming in hot!
You can donate online via credit card, PayPal or Venmo, you can send a check to Palomacy at PO Box 24585, SF, CA 94124, you can donate stock by emailing Elizabeth@pigeonrescue.org.
Any way you give helps Palomacy help these birds.
They are all very special guys.
Thank You

Comments Off on kiersten’s Birrb Blog #1,277 | April 2022: Punky is his name-o
◦Safeway Manager calls Jill: “There’s a pigeon running wild in the parking lot!”
Jill texts kiersten: “Hey. Domestic pigeon at Safeway Livermore needs rescuing. Can you help?”
kiersten tells her team she’s going out for an extended lunch meeting and heads to a busy Safeway parking lot
Introducing the artful dodger
– kiersten arrives armed with a cage, a large towel, seed, and a growling stomach;
– The agile, artful dodger was a black and white German Owl Pigeon with a two-week Safeway Evasion Course under his plumage. Two hours in, “The Little” continues to evade capture, darting under cars and around shoppers exiting the store; eventually, it flew around the building and disappeared;
– The Little won the round, and Safeway shoppers aged me a few years, but this wasn’t over.
Too many people were trying to help, causing it to fly off and return repeatedly. I needed another pidge person with me since scurrying under parked cars in a busy shopping center was his skill.
Shoppers and the Safeway Manager were educated about Palomacy’s mission, so Attempt 1 wasn’t a complete wingfu.
Add a net to your kit, bring a flask, a friend, an abundance of patience, and always keep the Elizabeth mantra in the forefront of your mind: YOU ARE AMBASSADORS OF TRICKLE-UP COMPASSION, so…
kiersten’s rainy, bleary-eyed birthday morning
– 7 a.m. (sigh), cage, towel, seed, flask, friend;
Lowe and behold, it’s a funny looking bird in the rafters
Here birdie birdie birdie
– Lowe’s employees point out the funny-looking bird in the rafters near the lumber entrance. Here birdie birdie birdie…nope, he stretches and takes off toward Safeway; we pack up the gear, jump in the van, and head for Safeway;
– Safeway shoppers gather as the puddle jumping begins
– Back-and-forth negotiations ensue for more than an hour between Lowe’s and Safeway parking lots with a non-caffeinated friend as he flits and flirts;
– Is this Mission Impossible? Will I be one friend short after this? Come on, you scruffy, scrappy little weasel, aren’t you hungry!
Q: How do you coax a funny-looking little pigeon into a cage who moved more like a bull?
A: Take a swig, towels up, string in hand, cage door set, seed trail laid, SUCCESS!
No more greasy water or dodging cars, carts, and feet
– Next, a warm home, spa music, a degreasing bath, food, clean water, and a health check for Punky, and Birthday Margaritas for kiersten.
Punky rests safely in cage looking out onto foliage
Punky is very tired and a little cleaner
His feathers still have greasy remnants of the parking lot
Punky’s Air-BnB for the night
The next day, Punky was picked up and transported a couple of hours away to Jillville for intake. I already had a flock of four and was getting ready to embark on a cross-country trip, so I could not foster him, but he left indelible marks on me: parking-lot grease from his feathers and others on my heart, so weeks later, I told Jill I would be interested in adopting him upon my cross-country return, only to learn a month later that he coupled with a scrappy she-bird at Jillville, “Shrimp” is her name. She is a very small roller with no problem wrangling Punky’s spit-fire, and they adore each other.
This one little bird touched more than 50 humans in a day, got me out of bed before 7 a.m. in the rain, no less, and his antics resulted in educating the public further and providing a safe home for two more pidges instead of one.
The newlyweds arrive at Pooville

This community is truly incredible; it’s a rare coalition, and together, we are far-reaching.
I could share thousands of stories of birds and their humans, but I’ll leave that to the Palomacy calendars and Facebook group. When we extend a helping hand to a pigeon or dove in need, we spark ripples of change that reach far beyond one life, inspiring hope and humanity in ways we might never fully see, and sometimes, we show up on social media wearing our PJs and looking insane in random parking lots.

Comments Off on Rescuing Cosmo
This is a story about Cosmo, he’s a king pigeon that I found near my office. I decided to go feed the pigeons by the beach during my lunch break and I was enjoying my time when I noticed a white pigeon emerge from the rocks. He seemed extremely unsure. He was dirty and frail. I knew something was off when all the pigeons took off due to being scared and he kinda just waddled away. When I got closer, it didn’t seem like he could fly so I picked him up. He was extremely scared but calmed down when I put him in the car with the heater. He was timid and seemed extremely confused. I brought him to my mom’s house because I needed to go back to work. I had an old parrot cage to park him in for a while until I finished my work. I texted my little brother (he’s 15) that there was a pigeon in his bedroom and asked if he could check on him when getting home. He happily accepted and when he came home he asked what he should do next. I told him the bird needs a bath, so he gave the bird a bath in the sink. He came out looking so clean.
My little sister (age 10) came in after a while and helped dry the bird. That’s when my brother noticed the wound where the bird’s armpit was, covered in feathers it was semi hidden but the hole was the size of a quarter.
I asked him if he could gently clean up all the seeds and gunk stuck to his open wound and to let him rest after the cleaning. I came home about two hours later to find my sister snuggled up with Cosmo in a chair.
I then took him to my house in Castro Valley and got him situated in a small bird cage. I didn’t want him moving too much so the cage was pretty small. He rested for the night and by morning I checked on him. He was relaxing and he was probably exhausted. I went to work and when I came back I washed him with dawn dish soap and really cleaned out the wound. I knew he wouldn’t last much longer because of the crop tear so I called the pigeon rescue Palomacy. I’ve known about this rescue since I was 11 and I’m now 19. I love pigeons with all my heart and I knew they would help. They explained that the crop tear was very extensive and needed surgery ASAP and they set me up with an appointment at an avian bird vet they said would be able to help him. Me and my boyfriend drove an hour and a half to Medical Center for Birds and dropped Cosmo off. Palomacy’s donors made his $1,265 medical care possible.
They said its a crop tear in an awkward spot but they could fix it, they also said he had an ulcer in his eye. They told me Palomacy’s Care Director Jill would be the person of contact and she’d be in touch with me. After three or four days with no info, I got a text from Jill and she said “I didn’t know Cosmo was a baby!” I won’t lie, I started tearing up learning he was ok.
Jill said she took him home. He had some pain meds and eye drops that needed to be given to him twice a day. I came to Jill’s house and she showed me what to do. Her life seemed so beautiful. I took Cosmo home and got him situated in a temporary medium size cage as his stitches needed to heal.
When he started getting his energy back you could really see the fire in him. Though he’s still nervous about people and hands, I completely understand. He freely flys around my house now and follows me and watches me cook (from a safe distance). He’s an amazing companion and his favorite place to rest is on top of the ceiling fan. (It’s never turned on dont worry). His story is definitely something amazing and I’m glad I could give this bird a good home.

Hi I’m Jazmine Hernandez. I’m 19 years old and have always been fond of birds since my childhood. I love all animals and will always do my best to save them all. Small or big they deserve a chance!
