Kingdom: Animalia - A Zoology Podcast for Kids

Ignoring this episode would be so un-coo-l.

Why should you care about pigeons and doves? Do they make good pets? Should you feed city pigeons? Is there such a thing as a pigeon genie? Today, on KA’s Podcasthon 2026 special, Devon, Chet, and Cap bring on Cynthia Bardouka-Large, co-director of Palomacy Pigeon & Dove Adoptions, to talk all about domestic pigeons and doves, domesticated members of the family Columbidae.

This episode is our contribution to Podcasthon, a week-long event that podcasters take part in by releasing episodes highlighting charities and nonprofits. Palomacy is a nonprofit rescue based in Northern California that cares for lost and injured domestic pigeons and doves. I encourage you to donate or ask your parent/guardian to donate with the link below if you can! Palomacy is funded by donations, and they do really great work. (If you do, please feel free to email me at [email protected]! I’d love to hear that I’m making an impact.)

Note: I do not personally benefit from any donations. This is purely a cause that I believe in.
