Feral Pigeon Marcus

Marcus has been rescued by us in December 2018. We found him on the road side after being injured by a car. At the time Marcus was very poorly with signs of marked starvation and dehydration. He did suffer a severe concussion and a beak fracture, which resulted in a mild cross beak deformity. Despite all odds Marcus recovered very well and settled eventually happily into our pigeon community. The beak fracture healed well too, but a slight scissor beak remained. Marcus adapted to this slight impairment without bigger problems.

Introducing Corvid Isle Sanctuary Residents

Bianca is a white pigeon, most likely one of the many released at weddings or funerals. She is very likely one of those dove-like selectively bred white homing pigeons. Customers are usually reassured that reputable companies train white homing pigeons to fly immediately home after being released and that they ensure the birds’ safety throughout the event and beyond. What is advertised and sold as being a homage to a person passed, or as a magical moment and talking point during a wedding, is just another example of animal abuse and the cruelty caused by human self-centredness and ignorance. Bianca is one of the many released birds who did not find their way back to their loft.
