Angel Aviary needed for king pigeons dumped like trash
by Elizabeth Young 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hello- Two nights ago, somebody dumped two tied-up boxes of live pigeons and a bag of dead ones in a Fruitvale parking lot. The Oakland Parks & Rec Dept. took them to the Rotary Nature Center at Lake Merritt for temporary shelter but they cannot stay and MickaCoo does not have an empty aviary that they can move into. *We need an Angel Aviary for the 10 of 12 dumped-like-trash king pigeons that are healthy enough to be outside.* They should stay together as a flock and they should not join an aviary with other birds. Their health is compromised but recoverable. These poor birds were used as breeders and thrown away like trash. I'd like to figure out a way to save them from being euthanized. If you or someone you know would like to set up a mission of mercy backyard aviary, now would be a wonderful time and MickaCoo <http://www.MickaCoo.org>can help. These birds will thrive if given half a chance. PLEASE share this with your friends and network. We don't have much time. -- Elizabeth *PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues today **& every day* *this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! * **www.refresheverything.c om/mickaboobirdrescue 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 Admins] Please support a local avian nonprofit (it's simple to do)

Some of you know Evet, who retired and recently moved from San Jose to South Carolina. We thought you would all enjoy reading such a lovely and positive letter of support. Michelle **** ------------------------------ *From:* Evet [mailto:Evet_Loewen@att.net] *Sent:* Wednesday, January 26, 2011 3:19 PM *To:* SFBayRaptors(a)yahoogroups.com *Subject:* Please support a local avian nonprofit (it's simple to do) Hi everyone: For those in the Bay Area, there is a local nonprofit, Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue, that really needs some financial assistance. In case you are not familiar with them, this organization is all volunteer and is practically the only organization that does what it does in the Bay Area. It takes parrots and other birds that for one reason or another have been given up by their owners, places them in foster homes, provides good veterinary care for any that need it, and then seeks good homes AFTER the new prospective owners have been fully trained with regard to avian care. You can visit their website at *www.mickaboo.org* <http://www.mickaboo.org/>. They are the rehabbers of choice for the wild cherry-headed conures of San Francisco, made famous by Mark Bittner in the film “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill”. Many species of birds are very difficult to keep, and sometimes their keepers run into bad situations (like foreclosures) where they simply cannot keep their companion birds any more. As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time to handle the demand and it is overwhelming this nonprofit. Mickaboo desperately needs funding to pay for increasing veterinary bills - vet care needed to treat ill, injured and sometimes sadly abused parrots and other companion birds that have come into their care. You should know that one of the avian veterinarians that treats Mickaboo rescues is also the official veterinarian for the San Jose Peregrine falcons. We only want the very best. Mickaboo has an opportunity to receive a Pepsi Refresh grant of $50,000 if they can land among the top 10 organizations ranked by number of votes received in a "contest" sponsored by Pepsi. The contest ends Monday Jan. 31. It is easy to register with the grant program, and once registered, you can vote everyday. Mickaboo currently ranks in 60th place. They need a LOT of votes by next Monday! Please visit Mickaboo's website and use their link to get to the Pepsi Refresh grant program, please use this URL: *www.mickaboo.org*<http://www.mickaboo.org/>.If you'd like to go straight to the Pepsi Refresh contest, to the web page describing Mickaboo's proposal, please use this URL: * http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue*<http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue>. This is a simple but highly effective way of helping a Bay Areaall-volunteernon-profit with an outstanding record to continue making a difference, and it doesn't cost us a penny other than the minute or so it takes to log into the Pepsi Refresh grant program and vote. I have had extensive contact over the years with Mickaboo volunteers, and have professional colleagues that have worked with them as well. They are a first-rate group. I’ve also adopted my last bird from them, a gorgeous Eclectus named “Ruby”. So I believe in them. Please help them any way you can, by voting, or by sending in a donation in any amount. I realize this is not exactly in the center of the topics for this Forum, and would not otherwise trouble the List if it were not for my intimate knowledge of what Mickaboo has done, and that it is essential to the well-being of many kinds of birds that they have the funds to continue what they are doing. Please consider this as the List-owner’s privilege. Thank you.

URGENT: Dumped baby king pigeon emergency: 12 still alive and in need of help
by Elizabeth Young 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Hello- I just got word from an East Bay Park & Recs employee that a bunch of king pigeons were dumped and they have 12 that are alive and in need of foster and adoptive homes. MickaCoo can help these birds but we will need to generate adoptions as well so that the system keeps flowing and we're not once again maxed out! I've attached a MickaCoo outreach flyer- PLEASE share it throughout your networks and talk with folks you know about how easy and lovely it is to have an aviary (small or large) in your yard graced with the beauty and charm of pigeons (or doves). Also- I am THRILLED to tell you that thanks to the magic of the Mickaboo's Tech Team, we now have an ONLINE application to foster or adopt pigeons and doves. PLEASE share this link far and wide! (MickaCoo can and does place pigeons in long-distance approved homes in the Continental US.) Online MickaCoo Foster/Adoption Application: http://mickaboo.org/apply-mickacoo.html And, if you or somebody you know is willing to help foster these poor innocents, please let me know! -- Elizabeth *PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues today **& every day* *this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! * **www.refresheverything.c om/mickaboobirdrescue 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, LORI!!!! This is fantastic! I've sent a note to PEAC in Alaska, Oasis, Gabrielle Foundation and Foster Parrots. Here's the note below in case anybody else wants to copy/paste and send to others- Dear Bird Rescuers, You know better than most the value of what Mickaboo<http://www.Mickaboo.org>& MickaCoo <http://www.MickaCoo.org> do for homeless companion birds who are injured, sick, abandoned and in need of help in the Northern California Bay Area. Mickaboo & 'Coo together pay avian vet bills that average $20K a month, every month. Costs have increased 41% in the past year and donations have not kept pace. You're already helping birds and here is another way- please vote for our grant! We learned that there are actually THREE ways every person can legally vote for the Mickaboo/Coo Pepsi grant every day and with such a long climb ahead, we REALLY need everybody's support for the next 7 days! #1 Text message 105245 to number 73774 #2 Click www.refresheverything.c<http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue> om/mickaboobirdrescue <http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue> and log in via Facebook and vote #3 Click www.refresheverything.c<http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue> om/mickaboobirdrescue <http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue> and log in via Pepsi and vote I know this is a big pain in the butt to do all this clicking and texting but just think how many silent auctions and garage sales we need to generate $50K!!!

Baby king pigeon with paratyphoid (salmonella) needs indoor foster for 3-4 weeks
by Elizabeth Young 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hello- A week ago, the Montclair Vet Hospital (in Oakland) was kind enough to take in and stabilize a stray baby king pigeon in pretty pitiful condition. It has paratyphoid (salmonella) which creates swollen, painful joints (thus the splayed stance) and requires a 30 day course of Baytril to cure as well as some Meloxicam along the way for pain relief. This little one is now ready for an indoor foster home. Baby king pigeons are extremely easy (and dear) to care for. This one, which I've named Montclair, needs a dog-crate or similar-sized cage, access to a heating pad and the view out a window if at all possible, daily maid and room service and twice a day meds. Should be quarantined and given some TLC. Montclair will be able to move into a foster aviary with about 3-4 weeks. Please reply to AdoptKings(a)gmail.com if you can help this baby bird.

Dove with Ear Infection!
by Cathy Kendall 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

One of my ringnecks had a bump on his face yesterday so I isolated him and checked it out. I was afraid it was pox but it didnt look like the photos Ive seen of pox lesions (thankfully Ive never encountered a case of pox personally). The bump was in the area of his left ear and it was oozing yellowyuck. Dylan didnt act sick but he was scratching at his ear and opening his beak wide so I could tell it was bothering him. I took him to the vet today and Dr. Kureshi said it was definitely not pox, but appeared to be an abscess. He had to put Dylan under to clean it out. Turns out it was in his ear. Dr. K pulled out a plug of gunk about ¼ long! Id never seen anything like it. Dylan is now on antibiotics and should make a full recovery. -Cathy http://faithandfeathers.blogspot.com/

Also, you'll have 9 extra votes to use for our partners each time you do this (totaling 30 votes a day per person, only 3 of which can go to Mickaboo & 'Coos grant).

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Pepsi Grant - question answered
by Elizabeth Young 14 Jan '11

Previously it was but not this time. Pepsi is making some changes and all will have to reapply to participate in April. By far the easiest thing to do would be for us to ask more people to text and vote for us now and just do this. We have unlimited potential to generate voters. All we have to do is ask. I'm finding in-person requests to be the most effective and asking folks to sign up for a daily reminder - *Please subscribe to a daily voting reminder by emailing: **pepsichallenge-<pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org> subscribe <pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org>@mickaboo.org<pepsichallenge-subscribe(a)mickaboo.org> * * * e * * * * On Fri, Jan 14, 2011 at 10:33 AM, <MReedOAK(a)aol.com> wrote: > I saw one posting that said if you make the top 100 you automatically > roll over to the next month.

Blind Pigeon Needs Forever Home!
by Elizabeth Young 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hello- A lovely couple rescued a hawk-struck feral pigeon fledgling three months ago and took it in and kept it as a pet. They knew it had a terribly injured eye but believed it had vision. They are moving out of the country and have surrendered this young bird whom they named Lucky to me & MickaCoo <http://www.MickaCoo.org/>. But, since having this bird in my home, I have come to believe that it is blind or very nearly so. I think it learned to navigate around their home by sound and feel. I don't want to move this bird around any more than I absolutely have to. (I think being unable to find your way around a new environment must be very stressful.) We need a really great forever home for Lucky. Ideally, I think Lucky should have a pigeon friend/mate. I'm not positive yet of Lucky's gender but I'm leaning towards her being a hen. If you or someone you know could provide a stable, safe and comfy forever home to a blind pigeon, please contact me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com *NOTE: Lucky lived peaceably with the rescuers' cats but MickaCoo does NOT recommend bird-on-cat-time and even friendly contact with cats can make birds fatally sick!* * * Thank you for your help, *e * -- Elizabeth *PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues today **& every day* *this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! * **www.refresheverything.c om/mickaboobirdrescue 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

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] how to guide pigeons out of store successfully
by Elizabeth Y 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Pigeons have exceptional eyesight and the ferals are always starving. I bet if you showed one a handfull of food (rice, bread or cracker crumbs, french fries, bird seed, whatever) and then tossed the food in front of an open door, it would go for it. (And then stick around looking for more.) Maybe best to leave them alone. They'll leave when they're ready and less likely to injure themselves if not in a panic. e Elizabeth Y PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo today and every day this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue www.RescueReport.org -----Original Message----- From: Tomoko Isogai <jerseycitygeisha(a)gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 2:08 PM To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] how to guide pigeons out of store successfully i see pigeons walk inside stores many times. many times store people chase them away w. broom etc. what would be the best way to take them outside safely? a couple of weeks ago, i saw a pigeonsflew into apple store on chestnut st in sf. apple employees told us that "oh, we know how to handle this."

Short-term foster home needed for cat-caught dove (at SJ shelter)
by Elizabeth Young 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hello- We've just learned of a cat-caught dove at an SJ shelter. It will need a short-term (14 days) foster and likely twice a day meds before it can join our foster aviary flock. Can YOU help? It is very, very easy to foster and medicate a dove.

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Helping Mickaboo & 'Coo Win a $50K Pepsi Refresh Grant

Hi, Kymberleigh- Thank you for that insight. The MickaCoo video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjyooh3Yo0>is much more prominent than we anticipated it would be. The Pepsi Refresh grant application was submitted by MickaCoo adopter Catherine with help from Pam & myself. (We expanded the project to include Mickaboo because the vet expenses of Mickaboo are so much higher than MickaCoo and because the Mickaboo group is so much bigger than MickaCoo.) The grant asked for pictures and videos and we provided what we had available without really understanding how exactly it would be laid out by Pepsi. I don't believe that we can make any changes to the application. (Catherine- have you had a chance to confirm that? I believe you did but my memory is hazy.) And while I can personally attest to the negative feelings many have about pigeons, they are also *very beloved* by a great many. Some of the comments on our Pepsi project actually call out our support of pigeons as special. Together, we've found AMAZINGLY wonderful homes for over 400 in the past three years and so, since we've done that, I'm thinking that together we can do anything we set our minds to. 8 ] Elizabeth (MickaCoo founding director) On Mon, Jan 10, 2011 at 12:23 PM, Kymberleigh Richards <kymber(a)pacbell.net>wrote: > My answers are in bold underlined text. > > I did have one thought, for whatever it is worth: The video on our page > concentrates entirely on MickaCoo, and even though we have pictures of the > other types of companion birds Mickaboo helps, the text in our description > also only names doves and pigeons specifically.
