Tame white banded "dove" (most likely a lost/exhausted homing pigeon) in Pleasanton needs help
by Elizabeth Young 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hello- If you or anybody you know could rescue this tame white banded "dove" (most likely a lost/exhausted homing pigeon), MickaCoo will take it into foster care. Please share and let me know! Thank you, Elizabeth & MickaCoo ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Elisabeth Pforr <bethpforr(a)yahoo.com> Date: Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 1:13 PM Subject: Tame white dove To: "Mail(a)Mickaboo.org" <Mail(a)mickaboo.org> Cc: Elizabeth Young <adoptkings(a)gmail.com> In GaryBogue this a.m. (Fri) a banded white dove is reported. I called the woman who reported it to him, Pat @925-234-8821. It has not been picked up and if anyone in MickaCoo in Pleasanton or Dublin area, maybe they could locate it. She said it is quite tame. It is hanging around Bldg D, the Kaiser facility (not medical one) at 4460 Hacienda near Owens. Other side from BART. She said the Guard would know about the dove. Pat lives in Pleasant Hill but works at the Pleasanton address, not there today. She said there is an open space with other birds, geese, etc. I suggested someone should be sure there is water and some food for it.

SECOND REQUEST: Seeking Donations & Ad Designer to Purchase an Ad in the Pet Pride Day Souvenir Program
by Elizabeth Young 29 Jul '11

29 Jul '11

Hello- We've received one "I'll donate" message but no funds to date. What do y'all think of this idea? If 10 people donated $15 each, we could have a quarter page in B & W and reach a lot of potential SF-area adopters with the news flash that guess what- birds need rescue too! If 20 people donated $22.50 we could have a full page color ad! (Or, of course, if you'd prefer to donate towards vet bills instead- that is definitely a need as well.) *If you'd like to contribute, please click here<http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/donate.html> and include a note that says "MickaCoo **Ad" (or "Mickaboo Ad" as desired) (either on your check or in "Note to Payee" comments section on the lower left of the PayPal page). * * * Thank you for considering!

Hello- If we can raise sufficient funds (anywhere from $150 for B & W quarter page up to $450 for a full page 4 color ad), I think it would be great for MickaCoo (and Mickaboo if desired- maybe we could share?) to have an ad in the SF Pet Pride Day Souvenir Program.

Does anybody have an unused Feather Tether or Aviator Harness that I could try?
by Elizabeth Young 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hello! I ordered a Flight Suit for Lily the dove and it fits and works fine but is a little over-whelming in its design (mainly in the massive pieces of velcro used for the suit and the lanyard leash), me and Lily think. We'd like to go with something a little less obtrusive and I'm wondering if anybody has an unused Feather Tether or Aviator Harness that we could try. According to their websites, Lily the ringneck dove (144g) would fit in either- Aviator in size: extra small Feather Tether in size: small Thanks!

Wile Rehab and Release
by C Dickinson 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello! Last week while out shopping, I spot a pigeon hiding behind a garbage can, so I investigate ans he can not fly. So you guessed I swooped him up and took him home. So far he seems pretty healthy, good weight, good muscle mass, eat and drinks, poop perfect etc.. If I place him in my hands and bounces him he flaps both wings, so I do not think he has a broken bone. I'd love to work with him to heal his wing and release him back to his flock, but it is not my expertise. My first thoughts was to drive him over to WildCare, but if they deem him not able to fly, they may euthanize. My question is do you know of anyone who does wild life rehab that would take a pigeon? Thank you!Best, Cheryl __________________________________________________ Cheryl A King Pigeon Rescuer - http://cheryldickinson.com/kings.htm
