Rides needed ASAP for pigeons from San Mateo & SF to San Rafael & Petaluma
by Elizabeth Young 24 Oct '11

Hello- We've got two pigeons in San Mateo that need a ride to a foster home in Petaluma ASAP and a sick/injured feral pigeon in SF that needs a ride to WildCare tomorrow. If you can help with any or all of this, please let me know. Thank you! -- Elizabeth *MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue - Join us at https://www.facebook.com/MickaCooRescue* 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

Foster home needed to save a pair of adult king pigeons facing euthanasia
by Elizabeth Young 24 Oct '11

24 Oct '11

Kingston & Snowflake are a mated pair of king pigeons that have cutaneous pigeon pox (bumps on their feet). They are being threatened with euthanasia at the shelter even though cutaneous pigeon pox is a mild virus that pigeons recover very well from. It's not very contagious (or at least hasn't been with MickaCoo's 550 pigeons served in the past 4 years- we've treated several that had it and never had it spread). Dr. Speer says it is distinct from parrot pox and so is not considered a risk (though quarantine is always encouraged). If you or someone you know could help us save the lives of these birds, it would be much appreciated. They'd do best fostered together in a big dog crate (which I or your local shelter could loan you) and they'll need about 2-3 weeks of care (easy- food, water, housekeeping, no meds). MickaCoo is full up right now but we do have some adoptions in development and so this won't need to be a long term foster. These birds are in San Mateo but transport can be figured out. Please share and cross-post. These guys need sanctuary! It is so unfortunate that many shelter vets consider euthanasia a treatment for a sick pigeon. Thank you!
