Las Vegas bird rescuer still searching for pigeons wearing cowboy hats.
Hillman learned that the cowboy hat-wearing pigeons had been spotted near the University of Las Vegas in mid-December, a few days after the original videos surfaced. She knew pigeons generally return to the same places to find food, so she drove around the area for a few days, handing out her business cards and asking people to call if they spotted the birds.
“Never in a million years did I think I would be chasing down pigeons wearing cowboy hats,” Hillman said, laughing. “I also never thought I would be running a pigeon rescue.”‘Overlooked and forgotten’ What began with Frankenberg and Hillman nursing two baby pigeons back to health on their kitchen table quickly grew into a full-scale operation, with an intake system for rescues, six volunteers and about 250 pigeons housed at Lofty Hopes’ headquarters: the first floor of the pair’s two-story apartment.
Hillman and her daughter knew very little about pigeon rescue and rehabilitation when they started out; they learned through other rescue organizations, their veterinarian, and trial and error. As word spread, Lofty Hopes also began taking in other animals from shelters that had run out of space. The apartment is home to two parrots, a duck, a chicken, a quail, a rabbit, guinea pigs, two iguanas and a chinchilla.
