Castiel is ready for a new home! I got a call about Cas from a couple in Hudson NC who were concerned about him being alone and an easy target for predators. He was unafraid of humans and had walked right up to them but wouldn't let them touch him. I was able to catch him and get him into safety. When I examined him, he was covered in feather lice, appeared to have a small corneal ulcer in his left eye, and was missing the tip of a toe (the toe injury was already fully healed). Castiel is named after an angel since his finders saw him as a sign from God. Cas has a calm and gentle pigeonality. He loves sitting next to his mirror and carefully selects only the best nesting material for his reflection and builds a nest. I gave him a pair of fake eggs and he passionately sits on them when he's resting. Although he still gets nervous about hands when I enter his enclosure to feed or clean, he has become more accustomed to the routine since the beginning. I have also never seen him instigate any fights with the other males while mingling and he seems to get along with them well. He would prefer life in a predator proofed aviary with other pigeon friends or as an indoor house pet with a female pigeon companion. If you're (or you know someone who is) interested in adopting this adorable gentleman, please reach out to me about the adoption process. (All my rescues are DNA sex tested, dewormed, treated for feather lice, and vaccinated for PMV prior to being posted. I'll also personally vet all potential adopters.) Location is Asheville, NC, USA but willing to meet up to two hours away.
