Palomacy’s fostering and in-person volunteer roles are available only in the San Francisco Bay Area while online and virtual roles can be done from anywhere. If you’re out of the area but want to volunteer in person, you’ll need to connect with rescuers in your local area. (Join our Palomacy Help Group for assistance.)
ONLINE/VIRTUAL/TELEPHONE SUPPORT: We manage a fast-growing & much needed online Palomacy Help Group that potential volunteers from everywhere are encouraged to join. It is the best & fastest way to become knowledgeable about Palomacy & you can find opportunities to help in your area. Many of us started with no bird experience & together we are now helping pigeons & doves all over the world. Top quality contributers in our Palomacy Help Group are promoted to Moderators, Phone Line Assistants and other roles.
MISCELLANEOUS SUPPORT IN THE SF BAY AREA: We need a volunteer bookkeeper, help with bird transport, website/tech support. Please complete our Volunteer Application to begin the conversation. (It does not obligate you.)
FOSTERING IN THE SF BAY AREA: We always need foster care for pigeons & doves in homes or predator & rodent-proof aviaries. No experience required though a willingness to follow our guidelines is. Please complete our Foster Application to begin the conversation. (It does not obligate you.)
PLOUGHSHARES FOSTER FLOCK & AVIARY CARE IN ALAMEDA, CA: We have a big, beautiful aviary on the Ploughshares Nursery grounds & a team of volunteers who each come one day a week to scrape poop, provide clean food & water, check & replace eggs & socialize the pigeons. Please complete our Volunteer Application.
BUILDING IN THE SF BAY AREA: We are always in need of handy people willing & able to build aviaries. Please complete our Volunteer Application to begin the conversation. (It does not obligate you.)
