Super Special Couple of King Pigeons Available for Adoption
by Elizabeth Young 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Many of you remember the story of Peppermint- the poor, pitiful baby king pigeon that was going to be euthanized if MickaCoo didn't take him in. Well, we did and he's grown into a big, strong handsome man bird and, after a rocky affair with an older pigeon woman named Dee Dee Detroit (a MickaCougar), he has settled into a happy, healthy pij marriage with Sparkle! Both Peppermint and Sparkle are used to people and dogs and they would make an AWESOME pair of indoor or aviary birds for a lucky family. Peppermint is quite the pro at wearing pants and Sparkle- well, she'd LOVE to go shopping for some, I'm sure! Other amazing facts- Sparkle has laid the biggest pij egg I've ever seen AND she has two different color eyes. So, c'mon folks! Let's find Peppermint and Sparkle the wonderful forever home they deserve! Please reply to AdoptKings(a)gmail.com Thank you! -- 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

Guidelines for Adopters with young children?
by Elizabeth Young 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hello- We've got a great potential adopter with a lovely 8 year old child and our meeting made me realize that I could use some help on recommending some rules or guidelines for the parents to use in keeping all safe. Thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction. 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

Official MickaCoo Moratorium on Intake Until More Adoptions
by Elizabeth Young 27 Oct '10

27 Oct '10

Hello- Despite a truly amazing and heartwarming increase in our foster capacity, MickaCoo <http://www.mickacoo.org/> continues to be faced with more birds coming in than being adopted. We now have 77 (!!!) pigeons and doves in foster care and, until we place some of these lovely birds in forever homes, we must turn new intakes away. PLEASE refer potential adopters to me and refer surrenderers to Pigeon Talk (www.pigeons.biz/forums) and their local shelters. Sorry. 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

Who wants to build an aviary?
by Elizabeth Young 26 Oct '10

26 Oct '10

Hello- I am serious! MickaCoo has SO many lovely doves and pigeons in need of homes and they are SO enjoyable and easy to keep in an aviary. Please- march outside with your tape measure, choose the site where your beautiful new aviary will be most enjoyable and start planning it out! It is not that hard (nor expensive) to create a lovely aviary for pigeons and/or doves! If you are serious, MickaCoo will help! I WISH I had a nifty little How to Create an Aviary post to include here (I know, I know - it is on the MickaCoo Too Doo list!) but I don't. BUT you can do some easy research online, craft your draft plan and MickaCoo can swoop in with answers from there. Here's the story of one family's aviary to inspire you- Pinch Me Because I Must Be Dreaming<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/08/pinch-me-because-i-must-be-dreaming.html> Please? -- 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

Another Daly City Baby
by Barna Mink 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Found another baby pigeon at Daly City BART this morning on the way to work. My wife Kathleen found her, she was standing close to the agent booth, alone, not moving, apparently resigned to her fate. She didn't resist being picked up. I rode my bike back home with the bird in my jacket pocket. She seems even younger than the baby I found a few months ago. She is extremely exhausted and freezing -- she fell asleep as soon as she was close to something warm. She slept in my pocket, and she even fell asleep in my hand while I held her up for a picture. She was also famished, her crop was completely empty. I hand-fed her, then held her close to my body for 1.5 hours (she slept the entire time), then forced more food into her and set her up in the bathroom for now (warmest and quietest room in the house). Overall I'm optimistic that she will pull through, as she pooped and drank water on her own, and she flaps her wings and kicks and behaves like any baby pigeon. But, she is exhausted and she will need a lot of rest. She probably fell out of the nest in yesterday's storms. We'll see how she does when we get home after work. Barna

Hello- MickaCoo has taken in 19 new pigeons in the last two weeks, including thirteen dumped at Our Lady of Peace Church in Santa Clara (and three new doves as of tomorrow). Please be so kind as to check their stories at www.RescueReport.org<http://www.rescuereport.org/>and please share this link throughout your network. We are REALLY, REALLY stretched thin and need support. We need donations<http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/donate.html>to help pay vet bills, we need foster homes and we need adopters. Thank you for all your help. 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
