This is here (about which I agree), yet my vanity making fun of Cankles was pulled. Ever wonder why the FReepathons have recently been so long? Jsut asking.
I do not believe that.
And I don’t care what you think.
Palomacy — shorthand for pigeon diplomacy

Paloma means pigeon or dove in Spanish...
that’s what I thought the shelter was named for...
Parque de las Palomas in San Juan, Puerto Rico means Pigeon Park and it is just that, dozens of pigeons
Rudeness and insolence can go both ways your rudeness.
I have an AiR .177 with a scope. I can hit a quarter at 150 feet.
Then get started, already! Jeepers, why the long wait? And please, when you begin, also try to explain why someone should not operate a pigeon rescue if he or she so chooses?

That was sarcasm, genius.
What a waste of money. There are people desperately hurting all over the world. If this is what you spend your time and money on then your priorities are out of line.
I appreciate your reply.

Sweet birds. They saw something in you they could trust.
Most feral birds resist being touched, but their appetite can make them bolder over time.
Doesn’t ex boxer Mike Tyson raise pigeons too?
I guess bright red eyes are normal for a healthy pigeon.
Keratin is a Brutally strong protein. I read up on it after cutting my cat’s claws ome time :)
What the #### does this have to do with anything.
Put down the crack pipe.
I only use the crack because you sell it to me.
I don’t think they’d let an avian specialist work on children, the elderly or vets. So when avian specialists offer their help to charity it pretty much has to be for a bird.
Pretty much, but there is living tissue through much of it, and a beak has growth points which if broken will never grow new tissue at the break, so you can’t just cut it and reset it or fuse it together and expect it to reknit.
Bending horn or a beak on a living animal would require heat too high for the living tissue within, so that’s not an option. Depending on the species there’s also the nasal passages to worry about.
Cow horns can be made more symmetrical as they grow by weighting them at the tip, but a bird beak is pretty much set by the time they fledge. You can shape them when they are younger with repeated pressure, and I’ve seen parent birds too enthusiastic when feeding their young warp the beaks a bit. Beaks grow throughout their life and have to be whetted by the bird, upper beak against the matching lower beak, to maintain the right length and shape... or whetted against a limb or stone.
This bird’s going to need someone to keep the beak from overgrowing. I had a tiel with a split beak that had to be trimmed every few weeks or it would curl in a circle like a ram’s horn.
Thanks for standing up for the pigeon (never thought I would write THAT sentence:)
Those bitching & moaning should know that pigeons played a major role in WWI & WWII; saved many lives:

Always happy to hear of a happy outcome for one of God’s creatures.
