Because Coo-peration Saves Lives

As our tagline – “Because Coo-peration Saves Lives” – suggests, this is intended to be a collective project, involving rescuers who, likes us, believe that 

  • pigeons are remarkable, wonderful animals who deserve the same high standard of care as any other wild species
  • domesticated pigeons deserve high-quality care and comfortable lives which should not depend on their ability to perform in ‘sports’
  • where pigeons and humans come into conflict, issues should be resolved through deterrence and habitat management, not through lethal control
  • wild pigeons of all species should be respected as wild animals. Whilst many do adapt to life in captivity, this should be reserved for disabled birds and should provide them with as natural a life as possible, outside with other pigeons, not in a house as a ‘pet’.

Thank you for your interest in our project.

If you are a pigeon rescuer the best way to get involved is to register an account on the website and complete the pertinent fields in the registration form.

If you have previously submitted your interest through this page – many thanks! At the moment, our project is focused mainly on supporting pigeon rescues through disease and parasite testing so there is limited scope for involvement for non-rescuers. We will keep your information on file and be in touch as the project develops.
