Hello! I just wanted to send in my first update to the MickaCoo discussion group. I am A King Pigeon Rescuer, Foster and Volunteer for MickaCoo. I operate out of Pacifica.
On Thursday June 3, 2010 I had got a call from Amy in Pacifica (Manor) that she found a White Dove. She knew of my King Pigeons through a Vegan and Freecycle community group. I dropped everything and went over to her home and scooped this little Dove up! I am calling him a He for now, seemed to have some feather loss on his neck and back, but no wounds and lots of healthy pin feathers coming in. He was saved from be stalked by a cat. Amy saved this little guy from being scratched or eaten by the Cat. (Another reason people should keep there cats inside! Sorry I had to add that!)
I had posted a Lost ad on Craigs list and I heard from the MickaBoo Lost and found coordinater almost instantly (what an amazing group we belong too). Just this morning I got a note in reply to my craiglist that another woman in the same area called Kim found an injuried White Dove last night. Still waiting to hear on that.
In the meantime, my newest foster named, Little Dovee is doing very well. Eating, drinking, perching, preening, cooing and pooping pretty well too! He is next door in a flight cage to my Pet Pocket Homing Pigeon called Mandee. They sit and stare at each other!

I will update more as the news comes in!
Have a Great Day!
