Eminem or "Emmy" is ready for adoption! Emmy! (Dna tested male) He came to me as a transfer from Appalachian Wildlife Refuge on May 25th of 2026 after being found in the Black Mountain area by a good Samaritan. They recognized he needed help since he couldn't fly and when I examined him, he was emaciated and exhausted. He had a band on his leg (with only the number 15 on it) so was obviously owned by humans. He likely escaped or got lost while free flying and didn't know how to find food. After a few days of getting tube fed, he gained enough strength to be able to digest solid seeds. He is now at a healthy weight and his adorable, silly, pigeonality has begun to show! He has recovered wonderfully since, and is now ready to land in a loving new home. He's looking for someone who will give him all the best seeds that will never run out. He has proven he's not fit to free fly so he will do best in a home with a predator proofed aviary or as an indoor pet. Although he's slightly nervous about humans, he does enjoy being in the same room as people, especially if there are other birds. With a bit of time and patience, he could likely become your best friend as lots of adult pigeons, even ferals, can learn to enjoy close human companionship. (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.)
