Thank you, Olga, for telling me Sveta’s story. Olga is Russian and her friend Sveta is Ukrainian. Please support Sveta who never stopped to rescue the Birds of Peace, despite the war in Ukraine. 🩵🕊💛🙏

“My friend Sveta is an amazing pigeon rehabber, who has been taking care of pigeons for many years!
It all started with birds Arnold and Ostin, her first baby rescues. She learned a lot about pigeon care, medication and now she’s the go to person to ask an advice.

It’s very difficult and time and finance consuming business of bird rescue, but she is coping greatly, despite horrible war in Ukraine.

She is capable of saving even the toughest birds, who are sick with pox, trichomoniasis, etc. A great example is Misha, while speckled boy, who was sitting under her building pushed and shown by people, horribly sick. She saved him! And he became beautiful member of her family, had two wives at the same time, and babies. “

Sveta continues to help and rescue Pigeons and other animals in Dnipro, Ukraine 🇺🇦
About the artist who created this piece:
My name is Elodie Richard, I am a French artist based in Central Florida. I am a mother of four rescued pigeons, Sada, Hugo, Mathis (diamond doves) and Juju (Rock Pigeon). Pigeons have thousands of years of history intertwined with ours, they symbolize peace, faith, fidelity, love, hope and happiness. Mankind owes them so much!! The reality of their lives though and how they are unfairly rejected or mistreated by us is not so glorious for our own image as humans. How come such emotionally complex, gentle and smart creatures are nowadays so overlooked after thousands of years of service, being celebrated, honored, loved and praised all around the world and in all cultures/religions? In truth the way we treat pigeons reflect our own humanity, and maybe they are still here in our modern clearly unhappy urban lives to help us retrieve these lost values that make us good humans.
This is why I create a series of portraits that witness their unique beauty despite their handicaps or injuries. These birds incredible stories of survival and rescue deserve to be honored. Each pigeon story will be different.
Let the Pigeons show off their stories and true beauty to the world, and help them get the recognition and respect they deserve.
