Dave (local Midwest adoption only) - Pigeon Bird for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Hello, potential human. I am Dave. I am a white pigeon, I am a girl, and I am currently accepting applications for a personal human. I am extremely imprinted and human-bonded, so I have already made an executive decision: humans are my flock. Other pigeons are unnecessary.

I am looking for a home where I can be the only pigeon, because I refuse to compete for attention. Why should I have to share my cuddles when I could simply have ALL the cuddles?

I am also not a big fan of surprises or unnecessary changes. I like knowing what is going on, I like my routine, and I like things exactly how I expect them to be. So if you are looking for a pigeon who will happily embrace chaos and spontaneity, Im afraid you've misunderstood the assignment. I prefer a nice, predictable life where I know where I belong and, preferably, where my human is at all times.

Fortunately, I am very easy to please. Just give me a human, a stable routine, and approximately 7,000 pets per day.
My foster family has been kind enough to care for me, but I am ready to find my forever human, specifically someone who understands that I am a delicate little white princess with very reasonable demands.

If you think you might be qualified, please submit your application. I will review it. And if you pass, I may allow you to adopt me.

Sincerely, Dave
