Tame feral pigeon being surrendered and in need of an indoor pet foster home
by Elizabeth Young 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hello- A baby feral pigeon was rescued a few months back and, rather than getting rehab and release care, was treated as a pet. Lucky is now tame and unreleasable but his/her rescuers are moving back to Malaysia and can't take Lucky with them. (They are taking their cats and for that I am grateful.) Lucky will be surrendered to MickaCoo early next week and we need an indoor/pet type-foster home for Lucky to be happiest. Note: Lucky has had cat friends. Please contact me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com if you think you'd like to foster an expressive, friendly, smart, quiet and cute little tame pigeon. Thanks, e -- Elizabeth PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo today and every day this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! http://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

URGENT Mickaboo & 'Coo needs LOTS more votes in the Pepsi Challenge to win!
by Elizabeth Young 06 Jan '11

06 Jan '11

Hello- Mickaboo & 'Coo's Pepsi Refresh grant got off to a good start with a ranking of #52 but now, after three days of voting and the adjusted ranking, we are at #87 and so, whatever we have been doing so far in support of this effort, we need to do LOTS more! Here are some additional ways to help Mickaboo's chances to win the MUCH needed $50K grant (that's a LOT of garage sales!) *Please ask your family members, your friends and coworkers to vote for us daily. They'll support us because they support YOU. The link is: * www.refresheverything.c<http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue> om/mickaboobirdrescue <http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue> *Contact your bird vet and ask that they and their staff support Mickaboo & 'Coo this way!* * * *Text a vote on your cell phone (works even after clicking your vote on computer) * *Text message "**105245" to number "73774" (Pepsi)* *Put the link and a short blurb in your email signature for the month so that everyone will see it and be gently reminded **(copy and paste this or create your own)* * * PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo today and every day this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! www.refresheverything.com/mickaboobirdrescue *Post a blurb & link as a message on your friends' FB pages so their friends will see it too* *Vote for up to 9 other projects you like (in the other $ amount categories so as not to compete against Boo/Coo) and leave a comment & link inviting their fans to vote for us (see comments at the bottom of our Pepsi Refresh page to see how this works).* What else? There are lots of other ways and your ideas are welcome and encouraged! Now that the rankings are live, we can really see an impact if we get the votes! Let's get that 87 worked down! We don't have to be #1. Ten (!) projects in the $50K category WILL win $50 January 31st. I think Mickaboo & 'Coo should be one of them. Thank you! -- Elizabeth PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo today and every day this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! http://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

We're doing pretty good but we need to do better to win the $50K
by Elizabeth Young 04 Jan '11

04 Jan '11

Hello- Mickaboo <http://www.Mickaboo.org> got off to a great start yesterday and climbed to #52 in the rankings (out of hundreds!) for our Pepsi Refresh category ($50K) BUT we need to be in the top ten to win and so we need a lot more click votes! (And we're not big enough to do this just with Mickaboo folks- *we need the votes of our friends and families to*o.) Here are some additional ways to help Mickaboo's chances to win the MUCH needed $50K grant (that's a LOT of garage sales!) Additional vote getters for you AND your friends and family members- *Text a vote on your cell phone (works even after clicking your vote on computer) * *Text **105245** to 73774 (Pepsi)* *Put the link and a short blurb in your email signature for the month so that everyone will see it and be gently reminded * *(copy and paste this or create your own)* * * PLEASE vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo today and every day this month to help us win a MUCH needed $50K grant! http://www.refresheverything.c om/mickaboobirdrescue *Post a blurb & link as a message on your friends' FB pages so their friends will see it too* *Vote for up to 9 other projects you like (in the other $ amount categories so as not to compete against Boo/Coo) and leave a comment & link inviting their fans to vote for us (see comments at the bottom of our Pepsi Refresh page to see how this works).* *(NOTE: We would be smart to pick 9 partners and solicit them about mutually supporting each other with all of our extra daily votes. We need someone to help with this- it would be a HUGE boost- any volunteers?)* * * What else? I'm sure there are other ways for us to get out the vote for Mickaboo & 'Coo. This is by far the easiest way for us to bring in $50K that we're ever going to see! Let's do this! And PLEASE share this with your friends and family. This is an EASY way for folks to support you and a cause you believe in and a whole lot of birds who would otherwise suffer without vet care.

Call for help
by Catherine Johnston 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Greetings all, I'm about to ask you all to do something, but first let me introduce myself. My name is Catherine Johnston and I just adopted two pigeons from MickaCoo less than a month ago. They, Tina and Tony, are doing well-- just doing some wind observations from the living room window at the present. Like many of the birds that came through MickaCoo, Tina and Tony required veterinary care, and veterinary care requires funding. Altogether Mickaboo's (and 'Coo's) veterinary bills require raising $12,000 every month and this requires tremendous effort. In order to find more funding I have applied to the Pepsi Refresh Project for a $50,000 grant for Mickaboo (and 'Coo) (Pepsi Refresh website is http://www.refresheverything.com/ ). Here's where you come in-- to win the grant Mickaboo (and 'Coo) needs your vote. Yes, that's right the Pepsi Refresh Project grants are funded according to whoever gets the most votes, and voting takes place daily. So we need your vote, but we also need you to get the vote for Mickaboo (and 'Coo)-- can you bring in 10 votes each day? With your vote, and your friends' votes, we could win the grant and fifty thousand dollars would provide a good bit of veterinary care for those birds that need help. There is one hitch-- we're not sure when the Mickaboo (and 'Coo) application will be up for voting. It could be as soon as tomorrow (Monday, January 3, 2011), which is why I'm posting today to give a "heads up." I will post as soon as I know when we can begin voting-- until then please consider how you could help bring in the votes to help our birds. Cordially yours, Catherine Johnston
