MickaCoo's latest rescue
by Elizabeth Young 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

This is Ian, MickaCoo's latest rescue. He's a racing pigeon, hatched in 2008 according to his band, that got terribly hurt (most likely by a hawk). Somehow he got to the SJ Animal Control Shelter and their vet stitched up his torn crop (among other injuries) and started him on antibiotics. He was rushed by MickaCoo volunteer Jaclyn from there to FTB where he was deemed stable and sent home the next day for supportive foster care. He's eating and pooping and is expected to recover. If you'd like to contribute to his vet bill, please click here<http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/donate.html>and follow the directions (specify it is a donation for MickaCoo). And while I'm on the subject of an injured racing pigeon, MickaCoo is having a fundraiser<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/03/mickacoo-sf-pour-house-taking-on-tyson.…>this Sunday night at the SF Pour House to watch the debut of Animal Planet's new show about racing pigeons- Taking on Tyson. But please, make no mistake, MickaCoo does NOT support the use of animals for sport and does not endorse pigeon racing.

Help Needed! Urgent transport, foster, vet $ and adopter outreach too
by Elizabeth Young 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hello- MickaCoo <http://www.MickaCoo.org> is so, SO full with more than 85 pigeons & doves in foster care (and more looking to us to help them find homes) that, even if someone is available to pick up and transport this poor bird to an avian vet AND someone is available to foster him (indoors in a crate with heating pad & 2x daily meds) AND folks will donate on his behalf to pay for vet care, I hesitate to take him in. We really need help to outreach to potential adopters. MickaCoo works great when people are creating aviaries and new adopters are coming in but adoptions have been REALLY slow and we are maxed out on the numbers of birds we can care for. So. Is all that help available? This is the message I just got from SJACS. *We have an adult White Pigeon at our shelter that has an injury to his front breast bone and feathers are missing, he is being treated by the vet, I was wondering if you have someone that can pick him up as soon as possible.* * * *I don't know any more than that. Please reply to me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.comif you want to help. * * * *Thank you.* *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

Invitation to view Elizabeth Young's Picasa Web Album - MickaCoo meets with SF/SPCA Animal Campers
by Elizabeth Young 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I had the pleasure of introducing rescued pij Rocky & Dupree to SF/SPCA's Animal Campers last week & it was wonderful! Their Humane Education program is really shaping the way these kids approach animals. And the SF/SPCA Humane Education team wants to work more closely with Mickaboo & 'Coo (to fundraise, help raise visibility, increase adoptions, etc.) Who's interested in helping with this mutually beneficial partnership? I'm in but I can't do it by myself! Thank you for considering! Elizabeth, MickaCoo https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=557…
