Pigeon Birds Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Laverne was found laying in the grass after what looked like a predator attack: head and neck injuries, significant enough that the back of her head will stay bald and the scarring is visible. She’s been through something serious, but you wouldn’t know it from how she acts!
She’s a beautiful piebald pigeon with bright white pants and vivid flight feathers, and the combination of her coloring with her scars gives her a look that’s completely her own. She’s a striking bird.
She’s also one of the friendliest birds at rescue! Laverne will come right up to you — not because she has to, but because she wants to! She’ll greet you, hang around, and if the mood is right, she’ll dance. She even does little scoots sometimes, with excitement! She likes people, and she wants you to know it!
What she truly longs for now is a loving home, and someone patient enough to understand that trust like hers — offered this freely after what she’s been through — is worth taking care of. Her scars aren’t going anywhere. Neither is her personality!
