Big thanks to Cathy K and Cheryl A for devoting their afternoon to welfare checking and photographing and starting the MickaCoo rescue process for the 34 survivors of the 60 king pigeons released for good luck a week ago Sunday. The birds are in pretty good condition with only one in need of special treatment and there's a lovely palette of colors represented. Each of these birds is an individual that wants to live. They deserve a nice life in a safe aviary with a mate, some food, a little water to splash in and sun to lounge in. MickaCoo has unused aviaries available... together we can save these birds. Please. -- Elizabeth * * 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

A lot of people have asked me about...
by Elizabeth Young 14 Mar '11

Hello- A lot of people have asked me what I think about pigeon racing lately. I think pigeon racing is like dog racing or horse racing except that, in addition to the exploitations of the sport, they also they take the athletes 10s or 100s of miles away from home and set them free with a wish for good luck and a speedy return. Some don't make it. Some do but are slow and so are culled (killed). It would be like someone stealing you from your beloved home and life and family and setting you free X miles away and betting on how fast you can make it home (if you make it home), for their own fun and thrill. Pigeons are home-bodies. Pigeons LOVE home and family. I know there are many people, all across the world, who race pigeons. Many of them are very nice, decent people. I have nothing against pigeon racers but no, personally, I don't think pigeon racing is nice to pigeons. e -- Elizabeth * * 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

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Speaking of Craig's List.....

Yea I went there as I heard they had good deals on cages (they do). Their breeders (lots of CAGs and tiels, some yellow naped and dyh zons, GCC, Sun conure, and severe macaw) are kept in those hanging cages. The babies/adoptables are kept in the office. Everyone is fed seeds. There are goats and horses there too. And chickens and turkeys and a rooster that was chasing after me...

Geez, that looks like a parrot mill. hopefully it's going out of business. those cages could be used for pigeons or doves. if you know of someone in the area who's thinking about adopting, please send them the link. i've saved the photos and a screen shot of the ad for my "why bird breeding should be banned" file. hmmph.

Good MickaCoo news too
by Elizabeth Young 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hello- I know I've been posting all kinds of dire and dramatic news (funny how I was panicked when we were overfull with 92 and now we're working on finding forever homes for 353!) but there's actually lots of wonderful news going on as well and so I wanted to quickly share some of that with y'all. Clare & Bob are fostering-to-adopt Dupree Heidi in Santa Cruz is adopting 6 doves (thank you Tina K!) Teri in AZ is adopting 4 kings (thank you Cheryl A!) Marsha will be fostering-to-adopt doves Pierre & Lucia and Magic & Daisy (thank you Martha!) Shae in Fairfax is building a great mini aviary and will be adopting 4 kings Tomoko & Tom will be fostering Joey & Sunny SF/SPCA will be fostering 6 to 8 pigeons (and publicizing and fundraising and humane educating about pij & doves & MickaCoo!) Kim & Johan will be fostering 2 pigeons Susan in NM will be adopting 8 pigeons and today Cathy & Cheryl A are doing a welfare check on the 30 kings rescued in Milpitas and we're getting inquiries about the rescued Iranian High Flyers and there's more too So don't despair. There are LOTS of amazing people who are willing and able to help (and do so with great compassion and integrity). We just have to keep asking and reaching out... (hint hint- wineries and farm sanctuaries and retreats and missions) e -- Elizabeth * * 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

Looking to borrow flight cage for foster bird
by Jaclyn Alderete 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hello, Does anyone have a flight cage I can borrow for Ian, an injured racing pigeon picked up from SJSU? He has been stitched up and is healing nicely from his multiple puncture wounds, but is not ready to be with other birds just yet. Would like to give him some more room during his recovery. Thank you, Jaclyn
