Hello- As you may recall, there were 5 homing pigeons left in an opened aviary in the yard of a vacant home in Vallejo. MickaCoo is completely full with a waiting list but I have gotten a green light from the Marin Humane Society to bring these birds in to their care. We need someone who can go there at dusk and close the aviary (with the birds hopefully roosting inside) and then either box them up and transport to Novato or keep them overnight and transport them in the AM. These poor, abandoned birds are at risk, not only from lack of food and water, but from being killed by predators every night they spend in an opened aviary. If you or someone you know is up for helping them, please contact me!

We've got 3 dogs all rescues (6-90 lbs), 5 birds (4 of them rescues), 9 tarantulas, 5 millipedes, 2 scorpions, 500 madagascar hissing cockroaches, 3 cave cockroaches, a rescued bearded dragon, a rescued box turtle, 2 rescued snakes, 3 bee hives, 3 fish tanks and in my spare time I homeschool my 2 kids and make cruelty free feather jewelry as Art For The Birds to support my favorite 2 bird rescue organizations Mickaboo and Mickacoo!!

The dogs help clean the bird room floor, and always hangout under the birds. They've learned that bird drop yummy things to eat! This does mean that sometimes they get bird poo on their heads, which is kind of funny :-p When we first got the birds, we made sure to have my Senegal bite everyone. Just a paw or something while we were restraining the furry 4 legged very well. It didnt cause damage, but made everyone scared of the loud things with the beaks when they are out of their cages. Dogs and Cats give birds a wide girth now, and of course, they are NEVER left out without someone sitting with them, just in case. Every once in a while, my moms CAG will chase after our 3.5lb toothless and emotionally scarred Yorkie girl and try to bite her. Poor Tootsie is terrified of Nikki CAG :( Its definitely possible to have birds and predatory pets if everyone is trained properly (unlike my CAG...), and/or completely separated from the birds.

I can provide a pic of my cat, Bubba, lounging next to Lucky on the top bunk of my son's bunkbed. Lucky was in her cage and we saw Bubba come into the room. Rather than assume that she would want go after Lucky, we watched and were within a safe distance to grab her if need be, but she walked up to Lucky's cage, sniffed her with indifference (the way only cats can do) and plopped over with her back to Lucky's cage. It was a nice first step for both Bubba and Lucky. Now, just to be clear, if Lucky showed any signs of being in distress, I would have removed Bubba (since Lucky is recovering from a broken leg), but she didn't so I let them be and kept a watchful eye on both. I think people just want to assume the worst, which is probably a safe assumption, but as we know, animals can surprise us and frequently do.

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Pigeon Removal
by Elizabeth Young 31 Oct '11

I would guess that the birds are killed. Their necks might be snapped (if they are lucky) or they might be sold to "feather merchants" that provide birds to hunting dog trainers, pigeon-shooters and goodness knows who else. (If the trapped birds were released, they'd aim for home and many would make it.) Pigeons are smart, gentle and loyal and they grieve when they are widowed. This is a terrible thing to do to any animal (and often a scam for customers). MickaCoo doesn't have the bandwidth to take on this industry but please, if you or anyone you know has a problem with pigeons, tell that they need to BLOCK the ledges and nooks and crannies (pigeons are cavity nesters) and the pigeons will go away. Trapping and killing pigeons is only a very short-term solution as new birds will move in to take advantage of the nest and roost spots that the trapped pigeons were using. This is one of my favorite quotes about pigeons<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/02/dutiful-child-constant-lover-wise.html> - "The pigeon,' said Archimedes, "is a kind of Quaker. She dresses in grey. A dutiful child, a constant lover, and a wise parent, she knows, like all philosophers, that the hand of every man is against her. She has learned throughout the centuries to specialize in escape. No pigeon has ever committed an act of aggression nor turned upon her persecutors; but no bird, likewise, is so skilled in eluding them... Vigilant, powdery, odorous and loosefeathered- so that dogs object to take them in their mouths- armoured against pellets by the padding of these feathers, the pigeons coo to one another with true love, nourish their carefully hidden children with true solicitude, and flee from the aggressor with true philosophy... They are loving individualists surviving against the forces of massacre only by wisdom in escape." *(excerpted from T. H. White, The Sword in the Stone)* e On Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 8:56 PM, Steve Riddle <riddle98(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I came across a bill board in Tracy that was an advertisement for Pigeon > Removal > I am wondering what they do with the pigeons that they remove. > The name of the company was All Pro Bird Control and their phone number is 209 > 836-1500 > > >
