Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Lost companion Pigeon in Vallejo
by Elizabeth Young 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello, Kelly- Is there a way to contact this person? If so, I'd STRONGLY recommend they alert the shelters all around AND post to Pigeon Talk at www.pigeons.biz/forums (though most likely a predator killed this bird). This is a tragic example of a mistake MickaCoo fights to correct. A lone, fancy pigeon has no business being out and about "free". It's like letting one's poodle or bunny roam the neighborhood. 8 [ e On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 5:09 PM, k s <kelsin(a)webtv.net> wrote: > posted by the lost & found: > > 10/26 Yesterday my sweet pigeon friend who is always free during the day > flew off and I haven't seen him since.

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Admins] My Computer Inoperative
by Elizabeth Young 24 Oct '11

Pigeons and doves LOVE to walk on keyboards and, because they are softbills, it is very safe (for the birds, not for your Contacts who are at risk of getting disturbingly cryptic messages) so I bought one at a thrift store for mine but quickly learned that, unless a person is typing on the keyboard, it is no fun to walk on one. 8 / e On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 5:46 PM, Patricia Gideon <budgiebrain6(a)gmail.com>wrote: > For the Birds sells (or used to) a toy that resembled a TV remote control, > made out of pine.

Hi Elizabeth, If this is truly a short-term foster situation, I could put them up in Claudette's old cage outside. It's a bit bigger than a dog crate.
