Feral Pigeons Amber and Ambros

Introducing Corvid Isle Sanctuary Residents

At our Corvid Isle Sanctuary, we do also care for other bird species such as feral pigeons. We also provide a safe forever home for ex-racing pigeons, which have been neglected and abandoned by so called pigeon fanciers. Feral pigeons Amber and Ambros came to us in 2017 and 2015 respectively.

Feral Pigeon Ambros

Ambros arrived at the sanctuary in December 2015 as an orphaned fledgling. We raised him until he was fully independent and attempted to release him back into his flock. This did not work out as expected, as Ambros strictly refused to leave. We eventually accepted his decision and took him back home, where he joined our own small free flying mixed feral and ex-racing pigeon flock.

Feral Pigeon Amber

It was in June 2017, when Ambros brought a girl friend home we later named Amber, after he stayed away several times for longer periods of time. At first Amber stayed only around for a few hours each day, and did not enter our loft. However, I took not longer than a week, and eventually Amber moved into the loft joining our flock. She was immediately well accepted by our residential birds. Amber and Ambros are a bonded pair since, and have helped us several times to raise other orphaned pigeons.
