Hello- There's a sick baby king pigeon at SFACC that needs foster care until she's recovered enough to join a foster aviary. She'll need a dog crate or flight cage, a heating pad and daily oral meds. King pigeons are really, really easy to care for. Please let me know if you can help. Thank you! e Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org

Do Pigeons and Rabbits go together?
by C Dickinson 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

Hello! I have the below inquiry out to Pij Talk and bunny rescue, does anyone know of mixing Bunnies and Pigeons? ________________________________ Hello! I have an aviary that is 8ft W by 14ft L for domestic pigeons, some pets and others are rescue. The majority of my Pigeons are Kings and I have a few homers and one blind racer as well. I decided my pigeon population would never be more than 16 (I don't allow them to fly). Anyway, I often enough have been to the animal shelters to pick up or check on Pigeons and I see all these Beautiful homeless Rabbits. I am researching with no luck, if anyone had experience having Rabbits in the same aviary with Pigeons. I had Bunnies when I was younger and they are really easy to potty train to a litter box. I could imagine if they lived with Pigeons they would need to have a good bath every now and again! Anyone hear of this mix? I am hesitant to try it, not wanting to make a commitment to a Shelter bunny and have it not work. I am in touch with Rabbit rescue, but they are slow in responding or did not like the idea. I was thinking of fostering a few bunnies with intention to adopt, so I could try it. Any thoughts? Thank you Cheryl ____________________________________________________________ Cheryl A Reiki Master - www.cheryldickinson.com A MickaCoo Volunteer - www.MickaCoo.org A King Pigeon Rescuer - http://cheryldickinson.com/kings.htm

Two out of the litter of five did not survive, and these three were not doing very well. Noah is a non-releasable, one-legged homing pigeon/rock dove that is in the rehab centre. Noah kept going over to the bunny cage and looking in -- even sleeping in front of the door to the cage. Then, suddenly, there were only two bunnies in the cage. But when Noah moved a bit from the front of the cage to everyone's surprise...there was the tiny bunny...under Noah's wing...sound asleep! That little bunny rabbit had crawled through the cage, preferring a featherbed, no doubt to snuggling up with its littermates! Now, they are all together and the bunnies are doing GREAT. When the bunnies scoot underneath Noah's feathers, he carefully extends his wings out to surround them and then they snuggle. When one of them moves and they start sticking out here and there, he gently pushes them back under him with his beak! It is beautiful and amazing to see... ------------------------------------------------------- Update on Noah the pigeon: We are Bob and Georganne Lenham of Wild Rose Rescue Ranch in Texas , home of Noah the Pigeon. After finding many posts online featuring Noah and the bunnies and reading about the many lives he has touched (his story has been forwarded around the world) we thought we'd post a follow-up and a few new photos. We knew there was something special about Noah the moment we saw him. Although the bunnies seem to be his favorite, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the Wild Rose Rescue Ranch... Noah's first litter of bunnies, almost raised and ready for release. Photo Bob Lenham Now, Noah helps out with many rescue babies here at the ranch... How wonderful it is to have a full-time soft-feathered nurturer here at the rescue ranch! He cuddles with all the babies as they snuggle under his warm feathers...and he "coos" as if singing them to sleep with a lullaby. Noah is truly, truly a God-send. No virus found in this message.
