Leave it to Michael Scott, pigeon poacher and co-owner of Pigeons on Broadway in Bushwick, the sickest pigeon exploiter of all time, to openly and blatantly brag about how little he cares about these birds as individuals. This gorgeous lone white king pigeon was recently rescued from a massive dog hoarding situation in Brooklyn. His bands read: "2019, MICHAEL SCOTT, " just trying to lose a few".

These people say they love their birds in one breath, and in the next, prove they have no concept of what "love" is. Of all the horrific injuries and cases I've seen, this band inscription is something that will be burned into my brain forever. I just hope when karma catches up to Michael, Joey, Lisa, Dwayne, and all pigeon exploiters, that it is as merciless as they are towards their victims.

It doesn't matter what kind of sick event or activity they are being exploited for, whether racing, dove releases, or breeding; ALL PIGEON EXPLOITATION is abuse, and it will never be ethical or acceptable to people who ACTUALLY care about these birds the way their abusers claim they do. I'm not done with Michael Scott. He WILL be dealt with. For now, I will continue to expose him for who he REALLY is; an animal abusing coward.

what is a ceremonial dove release?

for decades now, people have been sold the romanticized idea that releasing doves at their event is a beautiful, loving way to commemorate a milestone or event in one's life. in reality, the truth about dove releases reveals a sordid practice. these fully domesticated birds, bred en masse in captivity, raised until just old enough to fly, are released without any training or "homing" capabilities (a learned skill, NOT an inherent trait in pigeons), and will almost certainly die a horrible death.

these birds will try and assimilate into feral flocks, usually unsuccessfully. they are a magnet for predators and have zero survival instincts, so they are bullied out. often, they come across humans who will gawk and record their desperate, silent plea to be saved. it's only the very luckiest who manage to find help and are rescued in time to save their lives. if you ever find an all white-pigeon, you can usually convince them to walk into a wire dog kennel or carrier of their own volition with a bribe of some seeds. these birds are truly so desperate to be rescued, they will directly seek out humans, despite being too terrified to fully trust us.

you can become a pigeon hero today and learn how to help feral flocks, by monitoring them for stringfoot, and feeding them proper, nutritious foods. join our Pætreon and check out the FREE flock feeding guide, and other available chapters of the continuously-expanding pigeon care guides. pigeons need and deserve our help and respect, and we can each do our part to protect them 🕊️🕊️

Pigeon racing is a sadistic bloodsport in which thousands of pigeons are bred, banded, and released hundreds or thousands of miles away in a psychotic lottery to see who "wins". the prize? their life. they will live to see another race, where their odds won't be in their favor.

Xena Warrior Princess is unbelievably lucky. not only was she spray painted green as a bait bird, she escaped a hawk attack and was found by people who actually reached out for help. she self-rescued by crash landing in their pool, where she had to be scooped out. when she was finally brought to me, I was stunned at how much she had already survived.

I genuinely didn't expect her to recover. she was critical upon intake and was in mild respiratory distress. her wounds were severe but not fresh, and I treated them, as well as the pain for her broken wing. she was in for a long recovery ahead, and I held my breath.

one week later, as Xena was perched on my head happily preening, I still couldn't fathom her incredible strength and perseverance, while remaining so gentle and kind. she is a true testament to the resilience and heart that these amazing birds have.

I'm so glad I said yes to taking her in, despite how full we currently are. Xena has earned her place as a permanent flock member, and after her coccidiosis treatment is complete, she will join her new flock family. eventually, we will also find her a mate, so she can finally have her happily ever after.

Hi everyone. I have been BUSY, and that's a massive understatement.

We recently moved! We are still located in the Hudson Valley, and still very much in the process of settling in. Between not being able to rebuild our loft, and an escalating rat infestation that the landlord refused to address, we decided moving was our better option. Our lease was up in January, and we finally found our ideal location only 3 weeks ago. Moving is probably the most stressful, dysregulating life event that I could possibly imagine, and considering how much I have moved, you would think I'd be used to it by now. I'm not. Every time it absolutely physically and mentally taxes me to a point that I come close to burning out. I'm trying really hard not to let that happen this time, so I decided to take a break from social media.

I really have missed hearing from all of you! I am currently working on new content and plan to resume regular posting next week. I have also made the decision to only post our flock on Pætreon or Close Friends stories (exclusively for donors). This is due in part to an escalating stalking situation which has caused me to fear for their safety. I will continue to post activism related content on Instagram, but public posts will be limited for the time being.

If you would like to support the flock, and rescues such as this brand new sweet baby who came to us just last night, please consider becoming a monthly Pætreon. Your tax deductible monthly donation of any amount is crucial to continue doing this life-saving work. Babes thank you all for your continued support and understanding while we navigate this difficult time. As always, if any pigeon related help is ever needed, just reach out.
