From Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions

This is Cortez. S/he was too starved to fly & too weak to survive much longer & self-rescued by following a nice guy into his house & trying to come back in when he shooed her out. As a domestic pigeon, she has no ability to live in the wild. Someone clipped her wings show style which is a misguided method to try & keep a pigeon from flying away. (Clipped wings do reduce their ability to fly but don't prevent it. We rescue lost birds with clipped wings all the time.) Emaciated Cortez's body condition scored a 1 on the 1-5 scale. Despite what she's endured, Cortez is a lovely, long pigeon that we think is a breed called Oriental Roller. She's safe & recovering in foster care now.Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
