Hi, I’m Strix

Owl bet you can't resist this face. 🕊️

Strix is a delightful little Old German Owl pigeon, complete with the breed's signature frill and bright, curious eyes. The "Old" is just part of the name - Strix is simply full of gentle charm and quiet character.

They enjoy a cozy perch, a steady routine, and peaceful surroundings where they can feel safe and settled. With a calm presence and a soft, observant nature, Strix would make a lovely companion for someone who appreciates the subtle sweetness of a very special pigeon. 🕊️

Pigeons can make great pets both indoors as part of the family and a large dog crate can be used as their indoor enclosure (provided they're also able to come out to stretch their wings!) or outdoors in a rodent-, escape- and predator-proof flight aviary or loft.

If you think you can provide the perfect home for Strix, fill out an adoption application today (including photo's of your enclosure ready-to-go helps our team process your application faster)! 💙
