DESCRIPTION:Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care\nSunday, January 11 | 
 11am–2pm\n\n📍 Meet at the Powell Street BART Station, San 
 Francisco\n\nEver wanted to be a hero to pigeons and their animal 
 neighbors—all in one afternoon? Join us for a hands-on day of compassion, 
 learning, and real impact in the heart of SF.\n\nSan Francisco’s pigeons 
 often suffer from painful injuries caused by string, hair, and other debris 
 tightly wrapped around their toes. These tiny hazards can lead to serious 
 infections and even amputations. Together, we’ll gently rescue injured 
 pigeons, remove the harmful materials, provide basic first aid, and release 
 them safely back to their flocks.\n\nWhile we’re out on the streets, 
 we’ll also be sharing food and toys for companion animals belonging to 
 our unhoused neighbors—because care and kindness should extend to all 
 animals, big and small.\n\n✨ No experience necessary! We’ll provide all 
 the training and supplies you’ll need. Just 
 bring:\n\nCompassion\nComfortable shoes\nA willingness to help animals who 
 are often overlooked\n\n⏰ Arrive on time! We’ll begin promptly at 11am 
 with a brief but essential safety and training briefing.\n📍 Meeting 
 location: Powell Street BART Station\n💌 Questions? Contact Carla at
