APOLLO“One of the first patients of the WBF, he now lives happily in the front window of the WBF headquarters on Columbus Avenue, where his elegant beauty enchants passersby.”
NICA probable racing or homing pigeon, Nic was found standing on a street corner, lost and disoriented.
He was soon adopted by a Brooklyn coop owner.

FIDO“Found as a starving squeaker under the elevated train on Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, Fido was brought to the Wild Bird Fund, and immediately bonded with the people there. He so enjoyed the company of humans that he became imprinted and no longer a candidate to be released into the wild. Fortunately, his winning personality and googly eyes landed him a fine home with Eugene and Koari, where he now lives happily with a large family of pigeons.”

NIC“A probable racing or homing pigeon, Nic was found standing on a street corner, lost and disoriented. He was brought to the Wild Bird Fund in a closed box, and given a check up and a clean bill of health. He was soon adopted by a Brooklyn coop owner. The next morning, he was found standing on the sidewalk in front of the Wild Bird Fund, somehow knowing how to return, even though he never saw the exterior. Apparently this was his recognition of the fine, spa-like treatment he had received.”
