Rubicon is a survivor of pigeon racing, and came to us February 23, 2026. He was a stray found with a chest injury, and we got him the medical care he needed and he recovered in foster care and then was quickly adopted. Congratulations, Rubicon!

Rabbit was one of 16 birds that were rescued by a man who recently passed away. His wife asked for help rehoming the birds. Rabbit had mobility issues and needed veterinary care, and was quickly adopted by Moose’s Flock in San Diego. With Jenna, she receives all the great care she needs for her sore legs. We are so happy Rabbit found her home!

Cedar and Rumble are both survivors of the cruel "sport" of pigeon racing. Each was found in 2024 by good samaritans and brought to a local wildlife center, which then contacted Palomacy. Congratulations to the newly adopted couple!

Icarus is a Ringneck dove who was confiscated after her owner passed away. This bird was in a cramped house with quite a few parrots and developed some mobility issues - but she is able to get around. She is a quiet soul, accepting of other doves and just loves to sit in the sun. She was only in foster care with us for a week before being adopted. Congratulations, Icarus - you are home!

In late February, Palomacy helped find homes for 13 pigeons and three doves who were rescued by a man who had recently passed away. These two pigeons were adopted quickly. Congratulations Aspen and Alaska!

In late February, Palomacy helped find homes for 13 pigeons and three doves who were rescued by a man who had recently passed away. These two went to a wonderful adoptive home in Nevada. Congratulations Fanny and Manny!

Higgins is a high energy, highly social and very bi-cultural (avian-human) pigeon. He and his mate Cookie are happily married, determined egg layers, and nest sitters. They both lived for a while at Palomacy’s big aviary at Ploughshares Nursery in Alameda, where they loved to land on people and supervise their chores. They were in our care for almost six years and we are so happy they have found their forever home!

Val is a bright, curious, spunky, friendly little pigeon who found help in the yard of some friendly seed-giving folks. Once captured, Val was taken into Palomacy foster care, where she was a model foster bird. She was adopted just last week and we are thrilled for her!

Big beautiful manbird Cotton is the all-grown-up oops baby of an adopter. When he hit puberty, he became too ambitious to live peacefully with his older, not-as-strong parents and despite being very loved, he had to be rehomed (common occurrence when oops babies grow up). He became a Palomacy bird and joined our Ploughshares foster flock. Cotton is a recent widower who has been adopted and eager to begin some pHarmony!

Retired "racing" pigeon Bugle was rescued by a kind woman in Lathrop, where there are few resources for pigeons. We took Bugle in, thinking she was injured but it turns out she just wanted a better life. Catfished! We are so glad she is safe and managed to pull off her own rescue.

Dorothea is a sweet King pigeon who was surrendered to SFACC in late March 2026 with a swollen right foot, causing a limp. She is recovering in foster care and we will post more as we get to know her.

These two came to us when a widow needed to rehome 16 birds rescued by her late husband. They married and are a very sweet couple - available for adoption!

Tec is a sweet young King pigeon who self-rescued to a warehouse in Oakland. He's missing some tail feathers so we suspect he may have been attacked by a cat or another predator. He is a sweet bird who is recovering in foster care.

Sweet Phyllis was pretty roughed up by either a cat or a hawk. I’m guessing hawk since her rescuer saw her crash to the ground. Once her rescuer contacted Palomacy, I quickly drove out to get her and started her on pain meds and antibiotics. She’s pretty hand tame and very sweet.

When Mokey was brought to Palomacy on March 16 this year, our hearts sank. As she stared from her one good eye, we saw a story of neglect and abuse that no living creature should have to endure. Mokey was a "throwaway" pigeon from someone's racing loft. We were so sad for what she had already suffered, and to be honest, we were worried about the long and difficult road ahead of her. But with medical care and an amazing foster mom, Mokey is recovering and enjoying the feeling of being loved and safe for the first time in her life.

These are two hens who are mated. They are sweet and quiet and love each other and are pretty people friendly, too. Because they are both female, they do not coo often. They enjoy snuggling with each other, bathing, napping in the sun, and building nests.

Lola is one lucky bird. Rescued in late March, she was seen wandering around an office building in Walnut Creek back in December! Her rescuer made a connection with her to the point where she wants to adopt her! She would love for her to get married first, so she is in foster care for the time being, waiting to meet a mate.

Emily is a survivor of the cruel "sport" of pigeon racing. She self-rescued onto a front porch in Orinda and the kind lady who lived there posted to the Palomacy Facebook Help Group and we picked her up and got her the medical care she needed (two puncture wounds that needed to be cleaned, sutured, and bandaged). This bird is so incredibly sweet - she was preening Jill as Dr. Galusha cleaned her wounds. We will have more details about her in the coming weeks.

Scunchie was found as a fledgling in Pleasant Hill in 2024. Just a couple of months later Chickadee was rescued. They met and fell in love in foster care and were adopted together by Blair in March — congrats to these two adorable Rollers!

Coco was rescued by a kind woman named Monica, who saw her being attacked by a hawk and came to her rescue. Monica reached out to Palomacy for help and we coached her on the basics of pigeon care and she quickly adopted Coco!

This little Eurasian Collared dove survived a cat attack that left her with a bad head injury. She still has a head tilt as a result and is blind in her right eye, but she made a wonderful recovery in foster care and has now found her forever home!

A Palomacy bird since 2018, Cornell was adopted by Nicole, his devoted foster mom, as he entered the hospice phase of his care. When he crossed the rainbow bridge, Cornell was HOME.
