Old Ladies Need Help!
by Elizabeth Young 23 Aug '10

23 Aug '10

Hello- Sweet old lady foster king pigeon Dee Dee Detroit has been trying to keep up with her young mate (Peppermint) and all the pigeon folks out in my coop but her advanced age and arthritic knees and weakening heart have drawn those days to a close. Until I can find her the right spot, she's stuck in my (overfull) house in a cage that really isn't quite as dignified as she'd like. She really needs a nice, quiet, pigeon retirement/foster home. And, while she can't be with her mate any more, there is an old lady pigeon by the name of Louie that would also enjoy getting out of the hustle and bustle and into a nice, quiet, sunny foster home and together, they would be happy and safe and enjoy each others' company. MickaCoo even has a nice, big, predator & weather proof flight cage that you could house these two sweet old gals in. It's 8' long, 6' high and 4' feet wide and, with just these two quiet, dignified ladies in it, would be VERY easy to care for. They don't HAVE to live in this cage nor do they have to live outside. But they do need enough space to stretch their old muscles and some sunshine and fresh air. Can you help them and me? We would REALLY appreciate it. Consider this an URGENT request.

ALMOST HANDLED: Sick baby king needs vet visit & 1 week foster
by Elizabeth Young 21 Aug '10

21 Aug '10

I'm taking Patty the baby king to Dr. Sanders in Portola Valley and *hoping* that Holly who has offered to foster can pick her up from there today between 4:30 & 5! (Waiting to hear back from Holly now.) If there's anyone else out there who can sign on to be a Plan B to pick up Patty between 4:30 & 5 today and get her to Holly in SJ (if Holly can't), that would be a nice bit of insurance. (Dr. Sanders' office can't keep her overnight). OR I'll bring Patty back home with me this afternoon and take Pam up on her offer to take Patty down south with her tomorrow. Thank you to Holly and Pam & Mike for your help and offers of!

Sunflower seeds! (Bags of them)
by Elizabeth Young 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hello- Thanks to the generosity of Pet Food Express and Shauna and Pamela and Virginia and probably some other folks along the way that I've inadvertantly left out- sorry!), I am the proud possessor of many, many pounds of sunflower seeds (in the shells). While the pigeons I feed will enjoy lots of them, I have more bags than even they need. I know that Chloe mentioned wanting some wild bird seed and I'm betting there are some others who might as well... Who would like a bag (approx 15 lbs) of sunflower seeds? I've got about 5 to spare. Thanks!!! 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

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] Rescue Mission
by Elizabeth Young 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Please see below... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michelle Yesney <msyesney(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 10:12 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Rescue Mission To: discuss <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> We received an email with the following information. Is there anyone who would be willing to work with this volunteer - preferably someone with some proficiency in Spanish - to talk to the family? Roof rats are very common in ivy in San Jose, so the concern is a real one. This would need a tactful approach, of course. I need some advice about some birds that do not appear to be in a great situation. I noticed them earlier this year. They are located in two cages in the side yard of a house on Lincoln Avenue in San Jose attached to a fence covered in ivy. It turns out that there are two cages, one with a dove and one with three cockatiels. They have minimal shelter from the elements (and no protection from anything in the ivy), and so I contacted animal control. They took the information and told me they would send someone out "eventually" since as they explained to me, the animals weren't in immediate danger or creating a dangerous situation. Several months went by and one day the birds and their cages were removed from the fence. I had hoped this was good news, but several weeks later, the cages (and presumably the birds), were repositioned down the fence, almost out of view from the street. I don't know what to do. The home appears to be occupied by an Hispanic family. I would offer to adopt the cockatiels (I realistically would need help with the dove), but I have no idea if the family even thinks this is a bad situation or wants to give the birds up. I do not speak Spanish and am not sure if there could be a language/cultural barrier if I were to approach them directly, and if it didn't go well, then what?! Do you have any suggestions on how to try and help these birds? I would greatly appreciate it as I worry about them constantly! Thank you. ------- HOW TO -------------------- CHANGE PERSONAL SETTINGS: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/discuss/ VIEW LIST ARCHIVE: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/discuss/ HOW TO RESET YOUR LIST PASSWORD: http://confluence.mickaboo.org/x/2wFj -- 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
