Description: Ollie is disabled and was hatched this way. Ollie cannot stand still, nor walk like a typical pigeon, or fly BUT since his young age he has been developing his incredible resilience and strong willed temper, this little bird had absolutely the will to live and energy to move mountains. Ollie is total pure cuteness, he captures the heart of humans who have the chance to get to know him. Ollie loves to cuddle, and is also very playful. He is deeply loved by his human mother Adrienne who is wonderfully taking care of him. We love Ollie!!! Location: Bay Area of California, USA

Description: ''Stevie is a strong-willed, loving soul. She bonded to me quickly. When I returned to work, I adopted Cher and Bruce so she would have company while I was out of the house, but she remains my "ride or die". I struggle with chronic illness and she is always by my side at my worst moments. When she is not sitting on the nest she loves to cuddle with me, keep me company, taste all the foods I'm eating, and hop around the apartment foraging for seeds or whatever else she finds. She even prefers to sleep in my room, sometimes on my bed, and have snuggles in the morning when we wake up. I'm so grateful for her'' (Sidney, NYC)
Description: Generously donated by artist Katrin Wilson (@artwithaflair), this exquisite design truly captures the unique beauty and gentle nature of pigeons. A pigeon amidst the flowers is the perfect work of wearable art, and also looks beautiful on the household items available in our store as well!
Description: ''Harley was born into the Haarlemersluis Amsterdam (Netherlands) inner city flock, where extreme stringfoot is the norm. Pigeons get this horrible condition from walking constantly on the streets for food, wherever there are lots of people and human garbage. When pigeons receive a steady and appropriate food source then the incidence of stringfoot is very much reduced. Within every struggling, bedraggled city pigeon is a gorgeous bird with a unique character & personality, if he or she could be allowed to exist beyond desperate survival mode. Feral pigeons are estray domesticated birds, not wild animals, and they deserve food, shelter and, when needed, medical attention in city council lofts.''
Description: A white heart shape contains a realistic grey pigeon. To the left of the pigeon, the letters 'CPPR' are stacked vertically in red. The text 'Finding Forever Homes' arches over the top of the heart in white script, with a small red heart above the 'o' in 'Homes'. The entire composition is set against a black background.
Description: "I'm with the skater boy, I said, 'See you later, boy', I'll be back stage after the show, I'll be at a studio, Singing the song we wrote, About a pigeon who's very brave..." OK, maybe our volunteer dated herself when she named this pigeon SkaterBoi after the song, but this handsome bird really is a spunky guy with a true rags to riches story! SkaterBoi is a pigeon racing survivor who was so weak and emaciated he wasn't able to avoid being hit by a car in downtown Chicago on Lake Shore Drive. Fortunately he was spotted by a young man on a skateboard who scooped up this frail pigeon, called for an uber, and rushed SkaterBoi to the care of our rescue! SkaterBoi is now a strong, sassy pigeon who adores his adoptive mom.
Description: Neville is a former Chicago city pigeon who lost part of his wing and was rescued, treated, and pampered by GLPR volunteers. Neville now struts confidently in his adoptive forever home, where his parents built him a system of ramps throughout the house to compensate for his lack of flight!
