Pigeon Birds Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Poetess has a fractured left shoulder that healed in a way that ended her flying life permanently. She has noted this and moved on, because Poe has things to attend to and a Squishmallow collection that isn’t going to manage itself. She is an independent bird — not unfriendly, just self-possessed in the way of someone who has a full interior life and doesn’t require external direction to fill her time. Poetess is perfectly content to entertain herself, which she does with focus and commitment. The Squishmallows are not incidental to her life. They are central to it. She has opinions about them individually. She interacts with them with the serious engagement of someone conducting important work.

She is a striking bird — clean grey and white with that deep iridescent green blazing at the throat, the angular profile of a bird who carries herself with intention. She photographs well, which she probably knows and definitely doesn’t care about, because caring about that would take time away from the Squishmallows.

Poetess is searching for a home with ground-level setup suited to a nonflighted bird, and ideally a home that understands the Squishmallow situation is ongoing and should be supported rather than questioned. She is an excellent fit for someone who wants a bird with a genuine personality and her own agenda. The only thing she’s still looking for is a permanent address from which to pursue her interests!
