Free: tobacco stems
by Barna Mink 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi, Some time ago I purchased 5 lbs. of tobacco stems, because I heard that pigeons love them as a nesting material, and that they repel mites and other bugs from nests. Don't let the 5 lbs. fool you -- this is a TON of stems in a pretty large box. Needless to say, *my* pigeons won't have anything to do with the tobacco stems (or maybe I don't know how to use them right). In any case, my birds do love hay, so I'll stick with that. So I have no use for the stems apart from smelling them -- they smell very pleasantly like cigars. If anyone wants these, let me know. They're free for pick-up. If there are no takers, I will compost them eventually. Cheers, Barna

OT: Tell Schwarzenegger to say "hasta la vista, baby" to cage cruelty
by Elizabeth Young 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Will you take a moment today to call Gov. Schwarzenegger and urge him to protect animals and California consumers?<http://action.humanesociety.org/site/R?i=86SyRxSVw1vtzbLl3-43Dg..> Trouble with links or images?

Governor Schwarzenegger has less than two weeks to sign legislation (Assembly Bill 1437) requiring all whole eggs sold in California to meet this standard. *Please make a brief, polite phone call today (during 9 a.m.-5 p.m. business hours) to Gov. Schwarzenegger at (916) 445-2841.* You can say: "My name is [your name] and and I live in [your town]. Please sign A.B. 1437 to protect California consumers and improve animal welfare. Thank you." After you call, send a follow-up message.<http://action.humanesociety.org/site/R?i=UddVDfzousc6oK4T3vgx8g..> Thanks for your help at this critical time, and for all you do for animals.

Hello- We've got a 5-person team together for tomorrow's MickaCoo Pij Coop Make-over and so, if you want to be a part of this exciting adventure, you'd better hurry!

People think Mickaboo is crazy and wrong for wanting to support a ban on bird sales. We may not all agree on the solution but we all agree there IS a problem and award-winning animal welfare journalist Mira Tweti has articulated the situation exceptionally well in this article. This is a FANTASTIC article- so comprehensive and supported and readable. Many of you may have already been familiar with this article but if not- I'd HIGHLY encourage you to read it and everybody- please SHARE it widely!
