I received this message from Wildcare on Cape Cod

Hello Charis!

We really really need help finding loving homes for 6 rock doves. Most of them are banded. Can you help us again??

I suspect this is only a sampling of the pigeons that need placement at Wildcare.
I have emailed Lela, asking if she know the gender of any of the birds.

The new York flying flight is different. Those eyes are amazing.

Spread the word. I think you know someone north of you that may have an interest.

First she has to find out what the sex of the Tufts bird is, and not sure about her going to the cape for it. I'll keep it in mind when I hear from her.

Beautiful birds.
I hope they find wonderful, forever homes.

They are beautiful

It might help to know if they would ship.

Robin...I don't think they will...at least they wouldn't last year.

Thats too bad becuase I'm sure that shipping would up the pigeons chances at being adopted.

You never know...maybe if you called?

We can't afford the shipping at this time, I was thinking that if they would ship I'm sure more people would be willing to adopt.

I agree with you Robin. Definitely, more people would adopt if they didn't have to drive to the Cape in traffic from devil. So even if you are from New England, it's a terrible drive.

If they could be persuaded, I suspect they would pay for the costs of shipping and who knows...they may even have the ability to do some sort of delivery train.

She did not respond to my question regarding the gender of the birds they need to place. I seem to remember though, that she isn't there on Fridays.

I just received an email staing that they don't know the gender of any of the birds up for adoption.

Tell them to give them all mirrors.

...You are absolutely right! I will pass that along.

...I did...I sent her an email.

The following is the responce I received.


Most of them have mirrors :). We definetly have one male--- and he is very fond of himself. Don Juan de Pigeon

Okay, so put Don Juan next to the other birds one at a time, and see how he responds.

I could help with transport for the next 2 weekends. For a job I am currently working, I will be in Carver, MA (which is about 30 minutes from the Cape), and Providence, RI Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday morning. I can transport the bird(s) back with me to NY.
