Sponsorship of one of our amazing groups of birds helps provide our rescues with basics such as feed, bedding, and emergency vet funds. Furthermore, having reliable funds for our current residents enables more animals in need to receive help by knowing that our current rescues are covered. To learn more about what’s included when sponsoring our animals or how to make this a gift, please see our FAQ at the bottom of this page. Thank you for your support!
Rescue Situations
Pigeon racing is a dangerous sport that makes domestic birds race hundreds of miles with no survival skills. A large portion of the birds do not make it back home from races. Many need rescuing as a result especially given the large amounts of inuries they incur.
Dove releases often release very young white homing pigeons. Many times as young as a few weeks old. These poor pigeons have oftentimes just started learning how to fly and have trouble eating without help from their parents.
Fancy breeds are less commonly abandoned but it still happens frequently as people decide they no longer want their pets or when they do not meet show standards. As a result many need homes and these pigeons often have health issues due to poor breeding for fancy characteristics which makes it even harder for them to survive abandonment.
King pigeons often escape live markets and are left on the streets where they cannot survive. Other times feral pigeons have issues that make them unreleasable.
Our sanctuary also houses some chickens, ducks and quails who were either abandoned, neglected, or in need of homes. They get to spend the rest of their lives here in comfort through your support!
When you sponsor an animal, you are supporting their long term care through monthly givings. This covers the cost of their food, housing, and bedding as well as the average cost of vet bills . Becoming a sponsor to an animal means that our sanctuary has the security in mind that we can cover the current expenses of our residents and aids in our decision making for if we can take in a new intake by having financial security for our existing residents.
The first month you sponsor an animal you receive through email:
* A certificate of sponsorship
