About the Campaign
Poor Bird has a Broken Wing!
Did you know that pigeons and doves can live over 20 years, and mate for life?
Mariah runs a wild-bird rescue and sanctuary in the Las Vegas area. She rescues pigeons and doves from wedding releases, owner surrenders, racing pigeons and injured wild birds that are reported to her.
This guy, named Free Bird, was found in a gutter with a broken wing. Mariah has had him examined by her vet who works with her to help these birds and offers a substantial discount for his services. Birds usually have to go to a specialist vet, and their care can be quite expensive.
Free Bird when found:
Free Bird cannot fly, and when he walks he steps on his dislocated wing. The vet wants to remove the wing, and that is just fine! Mariah has a place for him to go where he will be safe and happy with other birds that cannot fly, and she also has a network of adopters.
We think it is amazing that someone has taken on helping these animals, and has a comprehensive system in place to care for them, and a veterinary partner. Before Mariah found out about Free Animal Doctor she started a fundraiser for Free Bird on Facebook that has raised about $200. The total cost for care will be about $500, so we are hoping to raise the $300 additional to get Free Bird out of pain and on the road to recovery!

Hello, a few of my parakeets have been showing feather loss on their heads. They do have a lot of pin feathers, but it looks a little different from a molt. I wanted to make sure it was a molt and wanted to see if you could help me. They lose their feathers around their cere and preen themselves more often. I did look at their droppings and feathers and everything looks normal. I clean the cage and water/food often aswell. Although they have been rubbing themselves on the cage/toys, itching their heads with their feet and some have little patches of bald spots near the cere of a little on the wings. The first 3 pictures are the bald patches, some have gotten better now. It does grow back, but for some it’s bald patches in other areas of the head. The 4th pic is what I think is pin feathers. The last two pictures are their beaks. The last one of the left and the white one look crusty. The blue one had it for a few months and nothing happened. I’m most concerned that the blue one and white one because they both have crusty or shattered looking beaks. I heard that it could be mites. The blue one has been losing a lot of feathers and they haven’t grew back yet. Do you think that they have mites or just bad molting? I also have one lovebird that looks like it has gooeyish eyes. Sorry for the long message and thank you.
