Talitha - Pigeon Bird for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Talitha hasn’t met you yet, but he already loves you.

Talitha was originally found in Chicago following a collision that left him immobile and completely blind in his left eye. Thanks to the care of our wonderful rehabbers, however, he has not only made a full recovery, but he is absolutely thriving! With his extroverted and vibrant personality, time spent with Talitha is guaranteed to be filled with lots of dances, coos, and laughter.

Affectionately referred to as “The Supervisor” by our staff, he keeps a close eye on everyone as they go about their day and is not shy about offering feedback by perching on shoulders and cooing in their ears. It’s a little micromanage-y, sure, but he makes up for it by allowing lots of play time too. Talitha will always tell you when it’s time to take a break for a dance party and some pets. He thrives on chaos, love, and constant human interaction. He needs to be in a home with people who will make him their whole world, since they will certainly be his.
