Pigeon First Aid & Companion Animal Care

Sunday, February 8th | 11am–2pm

Meet at the Powell Street BART Station, San Francisco
Ever 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.

San 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.

While 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.

No experience necessary! We’ll provide all the training and supplies you’ll need. Just bring:

Compassion
Comfortable shoes
A willingness to help animals who are often overlooked

ARRIVE ON TIME! We’ll begin promptly at 11am with a brief about essential safety and training. If you arrive late, we will be out and about and hard to contact and find so please be on time.

Meeting location: Powell Street BART Station
