Adoption information
About Pikelet
Pikelet had a rough start to life after her nest was removed and her parents never returned.
Despite this, Pikelet is a funny, inquisitive bird. She likes to lurk directly behind you. She's also a fan of perching on your head and doing some 'hairdressing' (and by this we mean throwing your hair around, wrecking any hope you had of a good hair day).
Pikelet doesn't like hands, but she does like staring at people. With trust, she would likely tolerate some scratchies. She would thrive as either an indoor companion pigeon or in a predator-proof aviary setting with other pigeons.
Pikelet’s sex is not certain but we strongly suspect female. DNA sexing can be arranged prior to adoption at-cost.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Pikelet has received her yearly PMV vaccine.
Our birds receive a new crop wash & faecal before heading to their new home.

We ask that you fill in our adoption expression of interest form: https://forms.gle/KL5gf124wuGRzxXy7
This does not commit you to adopting a bird. It helps us understand your experience, lifestyle, and what you're looking for in a bird. This helps us match you with the right pigeon!
Once your application is received, we’ll have a conversation to discuss your application, answer any questions, and organise a meet and greet with the bird (if desired).
If you have any questions at any stage, please send us a message or email at peanutspigeonproject@gmail.com
