Here is a knitting pattern for Percy the Pigeon http://static.knittingparadise.com/upload/2011/7/25/1311617617183-percy_the… I don't knit but some coworkers are creating Percy dolls to give out where bullying is discussed w students. Some synergy with pigeons and peacekeepers!

24 Feb '12

Hello! We need people and birds to attend the East Bay SPCA's Small Animal Adoption & Education event in Oakland on Saturday 3/31 from 10:30 am till 2 pm at 8323 Baldwin Street, Oakland. Let me know if you want in on the fun. *You’re invited! We are hosting our annual springtime Small Animal Adoption and Education Day at our Oakland Adoption Center, called “Egg-Stravaganza” on Saturday, March 31st, 2012. We will be providing a platform for small animal adoptions, and we would be thrilled if your rescue can join us!* *This event will be similar to our Fall Animal Adoption and Education event, as we will have FREE games and activities for kids and families to enjoy while looking at all of the small animals available for adoption. The event begins at 11am and ends at 2pm. Rescues attending can begin setting up at 10am.* *We will have enough room at our Adoption Center for each rescue to have a table or two set up for their own small animal adoptions.***** Thank you!

MickaCoo is FULL
by AdoptKings＠gmail.com 21 Feb '12

21 Feb '12

Hello- I am really stressing with more that needs doing than there are hands to do it. With all the incredible help & support that MickaCoo gets, we still need more people to join in to make these rescues happen. As of right now, we are maxed out with our foster caseload and cannot take any more birds in until some are placed and more help is mobilized. If you can outreach to generate adoptions, help raise funds (garage sales or grant writing or ???) or help create a website or would otherwise like to commit to keeping MickaCoo aloft, please tell me what you'd like to do. Thank you! Elizabeth MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org

Hello! MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue needs a volunteer to host a garage sale sometime in the coming weeks. We've got stuff to sell and volunteers to help but we need a home with good garage sale traffic from which to work. We are open to location (and even the possibility of having multiple sales if there is support). If you'd like to help, please let me know! We've been hit with a couple of extra-large vet bills lately and need to fundraise. Thank you! Elizabeth *MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue * * * *Please help us help birds in need.
