Hello! Attached is the collage that has been the face of www.MickaCoo.org for too long. We need new website art! It could be a new collage that also includes pigeons and doves or ??? And we need images for use on a new online T-shirt vendor that MickaCoo is going to try (www.printfection.com) so give some thought/talent to that effort as well. Please!

Scared and lonesome dove needs a foster home ASAP
by Elizabeth Young 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hello- This poor little dove is at the Peninsula Humane Society and she's so unhappy that euthanasia was considered. I think she's just scared and lonesome and probably a little worse for wear from her ordeal of being lost in such a scary world. Can you help? She needs a foster home! And she needs a dove friend some time in the not too distant future. Thank you for considering, Elizabeth -- Elizabeth *THANK YOU for all your Pepsi Refresh grant votes for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues!

THANK YOU for every vote!
by Elizabeth Young 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Mickaboo & MickaCoo THANK YOU very much for every click and vote and text you and your friends and family made in support of our bid to win a much-needed $50K Pepsi Refresh grant. Many of you invested a lot of time and effort, not only in voting for us, but also to create voting partnerships, to develop and distribute flyers and to research and promote extra get-out-the-vote opportunities. *Thank you for helping to lead this effort!* And, while we didn't win, we did learn a lot and we finished a healthy #56 out of more than 300 grants in our tier. Despite being small, all-volunteer, and new to the game, we took a long shot and showed that we can compete. We will be reapplying and, with your continued support and our new insights and strategies, we'll be unbeatable. 8 ] If you'd like be involved in drafting and planning for the next Pepsi Refresh Grant, please reply to this email- a team is being formed! THANK YOU for all that you do to help the birds! Elizabeth *THANK YOU for all your Pepsi Refresh grant votes for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues!

CSU Animal Behavior Lab Closing Down: Ten Tame Homing Pigeons Need Rescue
by Elizabeth Young 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hello- There are 10 tame homing pigeons that will be needing new homes. They can be split up into pairs to foster or adopt. Homing pigeons are smaller than kings (325 grams as opposed to 650 grams) and very sweet. Many of you have met and fallen in love with Cheryl's "pocket pij", the world famous Miss Mickaboo June 2011- Mandee. Mandee's a homer. These birds would thrive either indoors in a flight or double-flight type cage (with some daily out-of-cage-time) or outside in an aviary. They can't be safely free-flown but they will look dynamite in pigeon pants. Let's get them out of that lab and into life. e -- Elizabeth *THANK YOU for all your Pepsi Refresh grant votes for Mickaboo & 'Coo Bird Rescues!
