In the shelter’s words
Woodstock may be small and young now, but soon he will grow into a big, snuggly King pigeon! King pigeons are what's known as a utility breed, used mainly in the poultry industry for meat. Similar to veal, king pigeons are hatched and raised until they're about four weeks of age, then slaughtered to be sold as what's known as squab. Often baby king pigeons are put on display and sold in live meat or poultry markets where passersby see them, feel sorry for them, and then release them to the wild. These are well-meaning individuals, but sadly this simply puts the babies at risk of starvation, getting hit by cars, or being attacked by a predator such as raccoons and hawks. It's a heartbreaking reality, so we are extremely grateful that Woodstock was found before any harm came to him. His life is just as precious as any other animal, and we are devoted to continue advocating and rescuing pigeons like Woodstock. We are hoping that he will find a loving forever home who will offer him all the comforts of life that he deserves.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/
