Bowie (bonded with Midge) I saw a post about Bowie (male, gray homer with black flecked wings) on May 29th, exhausted, in someone's yard in Enka. He had a racing band on his leg and the finders had reached out to the owner who didn't want him back and they couldn't keep him. (Unfortunately, this is fairly common for found racers.) He was tired, hungry, and covered in feather lice when I picked him up. He is very chill with the other pigeons, including the males and is about three years old according to the band. He loves to coo at and tried to court the other males until Midge arrived and finally fell for him. Midge (female, darker gray feral) was found in someone's driveway in Kentucky on May 30th unable to fly. Her finder did a great job taking care of her. Including bringing her to a vet where they discovered she had a broken wing that had already started to heal incorrectly. She was given a prognosis of limited to no flight by two vets who both took X-rays. I met Her finder, who was unable to keep her, met me in Knoxville TN on June 13th and I took her under my wing. Despite the poor prognosis, she didn't give up on flight and can manage short bursts but will likely never be able to have sustained flight. This last week, she has decided Bowie was her favorite out of all the other bachelors trying to win her over. They have been the cutest couple ever since. These two will do best in a home with a predator proofed aviary or as indoor only pets. Although they're both slightly nervous about humans, Midge especially, shows potential for learning to enjoy humans as she seems interested in eating treats from my hand after as my other bonded pair (who were raised by people) eat out of it. With a bit of time and patience, they could likely become your best friends or even just a comforting presence. Please reach out to me if you have questions or are interested in this adorable couple (or know someone else who is!) (All my rescues are DNA sex tested, dewormed, treated for feather lice, and vaccinated for PMV prior to being posted. I will also personally vet all potential adopters for my birds.)
