Indoor Home Needed for Very Tame Pigeon
by Elizabeth Young 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

This sweet, tame pigeon flew into a Palo Alto Retirement Home looking for help. He's very thin and was likely raised as a pet and then 'set free' without the skills to be self-sufficient. He needs a long-term foster or better yet a forever home. Thank you very much to Mickaboo's Jaime for helping this smart bird. Please share and cross-post!

Flight-type Cage Available
by AdoptKings＠gmail.com 26 Jun '12

26 Jun '12

Hello- This large cage (interior space is approx 4' high, 5' wide and not quite 2' deep) is in West Oakland and is being donated. It has narrow bar spacing and would be good for doves or finches or canaries or maybe even budgies or cockatiels. It's not deep enough for king pigeons but could be a home base for a small pigeon or two. Please contact Elizabeth at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com ASAP if you're interested.

dove and quail mix
by Catherine Johnston 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Greetings, A 40 lb. bag of dove and quail mix came with a little dove to MickaCoo. The bag has been opened (as that is what the dove was fed) but is still quite full. It's a bit much for me (with only two doves), so I wondered if anyone had any interest??? If so, email me kmbjohnston(a)sbcglobal.net I'm in El Cerrito. Thanks, Katrina

Here's a great article written by MickaCoo volunteer Cathy you can share as well - Ring Neck Doves as Pets<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/12/ringneck-doves-as-pets-guest-post-by.ht…> (and I've attached our flyer which includes info about doves on side 2).

Anyone Available to Do Pigeon Welfare Check in Alamo (near Walnut Creek) Tonight?
by Elizabeth Young 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

A very nice woman named Deanna chose, instead of walking by as others had been doing for a couple of days, to stop and help an injured pigeon. She is new to birds and it would be a help to us if there was somebody who could help us assess this bird's condition and ways to make it more comfortable. (Deanna will be working to get the pij to an avian vet tomorrow but having a little in-person coaching would be appreciated.) Deanna lives in Alamo off Stone Valley Road but is also willing to come to you if that would help. Please reply to Deanna at DCourant(a)gmail.com and I (AdoptKings(a)gmail.com) Thank you for considering!
