I am chatting with Lissa on having a garage sale / flea market on a Saturday morning in her new parking lot (Andy's Pet Shop in San Jose on Notre Dame), with proceeds to go to Mickaboo. Who might be interested in a) contributing stuff for such a sale and/or b) helping to host the sale (pricing, setting out the display, cleanup -including taking leftovers to a local Goodwill if the donor does not want hem back)? Timeframe would be somewhere in Aug or Sept (or maybe Oct). Let me know who you are and whether you would be interested in contributing or helping.

Anybody got the bandwidth to foster/get to vet/wildlife rescue a pij?
by Elizabeth Young 20 Jul '10

20 Jul '10

Hello- I just received a call about this pij who has taken refuge in an SF hallway. I don't know yet what is wrong with it. I'm going to go pick it up because what else can I do? (And I'm truly open to suggestions here- this rescue thing is kickin' my a%%.) I'll report more later but, in the meantime, please give some thought to where a medium-sized dog kennel might look good in your quarantine space... 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

Pigeon & Dove Adoptions
by Elizabeth Young 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

Hello- I've been so busy with other things that I've been neglecting my adoption efforts on behalf of rescued pigeons and doves. We have LOTS in foster care (48) and would love your help get the word out about these lovelies needing forever homes. (Amazingly we have just about as many foster spots as our little organization could support anyways.) I'm also behind on updating the www.MickaCoo.org <http://www.mickacoo.org/>Available Birds website (working on that too!) so not everybody is up there at the moment but many are! Please- share the attached (updated!) pigeon and dove flyers with folks and send out an email or two on behalf of MickaCoo. We've placed something like 60 pigeons and doves so far this year but the last adoption was in June and we need to catch up. (The intakes never slow down...) Thank you! 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

Macaw cage from Cupt to Santa Clara
by Aileen Cureton 18 Jul '10

18 Jul '10

Since Cupertino and Santa Clara border each other, how about walking the cage? I'm visioning some kind of bird parade/walk-a-thon with signs and a donation box! :-) I can see Willie and Jacob acting as bird ambassadors with their crazy antics riding along in the cage hollering at everyone and everything. ha ha!

Here's links...
by Elizabeth Young 17 Jul '10

17 Jul '10

Hello- Here's a link to Mickaboo's editorial regarding the proposed ban on pet sales (invited by the SF Chronicle) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/07/15/ED7D1EEV4F.DTL. It was in yesterday's paper along with one from Sally Stephens (SF ACWC Pres) http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/07/15/EDVK1EEBVT.DTL&… and from SaveABunny too http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article/comments/view?f=/c/a/2010/07/15/ED7D1… . The comments are running pretty par with the always-surprisingly low-minded and mean SFGate comments norm. I think we should add some of ours and class up the argument. There's some pretty big dumb comments just sticking up there waiting for somebody to knock 'em down with a little empathy and logic... I'm just sayin' -- 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

I am in Awww
by C Dickinson 16 Jul '10

16 Jul '10

Good morning and Happy Friday everyone! I woke up in Awwww thinking about all the people who helped pick up, care for and transport MickaCoo's newest intake of Pigeons! It is an amazing process and coordination and even more amazing people, I have the honor of working with and sharing the universe with! Last night I picked up 4 Pigeons from Portola Valley. Louisa had rescued two Fantails pigeons Tina and Tony (East Bay) and has also had them medically treated and provided foster care and also medication for there continued care (BIG WOW). Two homing pigeons were picked up from San Jose Animal control at two separate times. Tina fostered a White homing pigeon Sqeaker for a few days and Cathy picked up the second homing pigeon yesterday and brought the angel to Tina. Next Tina drove both of the Homers to Portola, so I could scoop them up and bring them to Pacifica. Elizabeth came down to Pacifica and we looked them over and treated the white Homers for worms and bugs and are starting them on a 5&1 (5 day treatment) and they are in quarantine at my house. Elizabeth took the Fantails to San Francisco and is continuing there treatments there! That just puts you in awww! I am sorry if I missed anyone on the pick up of the first White homer baby! There may have been another MickaCoo angel who helped that I missed! I am trying to find ways to help MickaCoo even more. There is a program going on that all donations through July 31, 2010 up to $5000 is matched. I have donated some funds to get MickaCoo some of that match! I am also going to keep begging my friends to donate a little. It's raining pigeons and sadly they usually need vet care. So if anyone can pass on the word:) Happy Friday you Amazings!
