40 Persian High Flyer Pigeons Adopted Today
by Elizabeth Young 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Today, Diana & her husband Mahyar flew out from Colorado to SF where they were picked up by their MickaCoo liaison volunteer Zaina and driven out to Gilroy where they had the pleasure of adopting 40 Persian High Flyers (surrendered by Lucky Dog Pet Shop). BIG thanks to Russ for fostering this flock of over 200 (which is eating 75 lbs of feed/week!) and to Zaina who worked closely with Diana & Mahyar to smooth their approval experience and their visit to SF. Only 180 more Persian High Flyers to go! -- 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

YOUR help is needed!
by Elizabeth Young 20 Apr '11

20 Apr '11

These homeless pigeons and doves can't speak up for themselves but each of you knows how sweet they are and how easy it is to help them. Please check out my latest post at www.RescueReport.org and please share it with your friends and family and colleagues. We need more adopters if we are to continue saving the lives of these innocents and you are the ones that can speak up on their behalf. MickaCoo screens and approves long-distance adopters and ships pigeons within the Continental US so please- send this to everyone you know. And please- follow up with those folks that you know are half-ready to create a little life-saving aviary. Now would be the perfect time. We NEED adopters. 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

by AMuse 18 Apr '11

Hi all! This is just a reminder - we're trying to nail down a date for the summer picnic. This will be a potluck picnic with NO fundraising - just a chance for the volunteers to meet, greet and have fun. We might throw a toy-making party in as well for the crafts enthusiasts. Children are welcome and encouraged to attend. BUT if you want to be able to attend for sure, you need to vote for the days you'd be able to come! Please vote soon so we can book the venue at Moffett Field, CA (by Mountain View): http://mickaboo.org/picnicchoices.html

Want to spend Saturday 4/23 helping to clean up and rehab my pigeon coop?
by Elizabeth Young 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

Hello! Last year 4 incredibly kind and generous people came and spent a day at my house in SF helping me to clean up and make improvements to my backyard pigeon coop (home to 6 of my pet pigeons and 10-16 fosters). They did an AMAZING job and worked really hard and smiled and said they had fun. !!! I'm inviting folks to come and help again on Saturday 4/30. Professional builder and Mickaboomer Jim is going to help correct some design flaws that I made. Let me know if you're interested. I promise lots of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to fuel you. 8 ] Thank you for considering! -- 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
