Loadi (pronounced Loadee) ⁃ Black ⁃ Male ⁃ 2 Loadi (pronounced Loadee) ⁃ Black ⁃ Male ⁃ 2 yrs old ⁃ Crooked toes on both feet due to string foot when he was found. He has full use of his feet and has no problem perching or scratching. ⁃ Personality: Loadi is a very intelligent, outgoing, and curious pigeon. He is fairly social most of the time and wants to be a part of whatever you’re doing around the house but also enjoys his quiet time to nap and preen. Loadi knows his name and will come when called with the proper snack motivation. He also knows the word “no” if he’s doing something he’s not supposed to be doing. He is a dedicated partner to his mate VeeVee. He protects their area, nest, and food (especially while they are sitting on (fake) eggs). VeeVee (short for Elvi) ⁃ Gray ⁃ Female ⁃ 1 yr old ⁃ Limp on the right leg due a break that did not heal properly prior to rescue. She has full use of her leg for perching and scratching, however, prefers non slip perching surfaces. She manages fine with hardwood flooring and furniture but tends to slip a bit. ⁃ Personality: VeeVee is an extremely curious pigeon who NEEDS to know what’s in the box, bag, or bowl. She prefers not to be handled unless you have snacks then she’s your best friend. She is a dedicated mother to her (fake) eggs and enjoys eating, foraging, and taking baths. ⁃ Loadi and VeeVee’s daily activities include eating, foraging, napping on window sills, preening, bathing, nest building, nest sitting, spending time with their humans and flying around the house. ⁃ Nesting habits: Loadi and VeeVee produce 1 clutch per month (2eggs). They take turns sitting on the eggs in shifts. This means that for most of the month there is only one bird out at a time except for 1 week between clutches. During this week they build a new nest, go on dates, and prepare for the next set of eggs. ⁃ Diet: Hagen Pigeon and Dove food or Katee Premium Dove mix (free fed). Des Moines pigeon grit and minerals is always available to them. I supplement a little bit of calcium for VeeVee a couple of days before and during her egg laying cycle especially if she didn’t get much sun in those days. Indoor birds only. Please fill out an adoption application today.
