Pigeon Assessment and Transport Help Needed
by Elizabeth Young 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hello- MickaCoo is being asked to help more pigeons than we have room for. There is one at SJACS, another in Cupertino at For the Birds, and several at SFACC. I need help with assessing these birds (are they robust and able to fly?) and then, for those that are, getting them transported to the Marin Humane Society who has very generously agreed to take them in (and who will provide them with a very excellent quality of shelter life until they get adopted- life as a flock in a large indoor/outdoor barnstall/yard). Please let me know if you can help! Thanks, Elizabeth -- Elizabeth Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

Hello! MickaCoo <http://www.mickacoo.org/> needs TWO crews (4 people) to help with Pigeon & Dove Promotion at the fun and wonderful SF Pet Pride Day<http://www.sfgov2.org/index.aspx?page=1323>on Sunday, 10/24. Please help me to staff a special MickaCoo table at the SFACC tent AND help with a pair of pigeons at the Mickaboo table as well! It is fun and easy. We'll need you there starting at 11:30 and you're off at 3 and there will be plenty of time to sneak in a little fun during your shift IF we get a couple of volunteers! This will be my fourth year and each year has been lots of fun with all kinds of pets in costumes (!) and gorgeous weather. So- who's in? Please reply to me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com Thank you! -- Elizabeth Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

Thank you to all of you who were able to come to MickaCoo's first fundraiser and we missed all of you that couldn't attend. I was too busy having fun to properly photo-document the event but you can see the ones I did get in this online album. http://picasaweb.google.com/AdoptKings/MickaCooFeatherTheirNestsFundraiser?… It was a great success - thanks to all of you! We had amazing donations and lots of help from volunteers. THANK YOU!!! 8 ] e -- Elizabeth Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0

by Elizabeth Young 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello- Another old lady pigeon, Abbey, is in need of a ride from the Medical Center for Birds to SF (or even getting her to Oakland would help). She's very sweet and would much appreciate your help... ??? -- Elizabeth Until they all have homes, don't buy, don't breed- adopt. www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0
