Hello- There are two king pigeons (Buttercup and Truffles) in small cages at SF ACC and a single pigeon with a nice big indoor/outdoor barn stall at Marin Humane Society all too him/herself. Can you help get these SF king pigeons out of their scary little shelter cages and into the fresh air and sunshine and each other's company in Novato? Please let me know at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com if you can! Thank you for considering, 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

Here's where most of SFACC's chickens and chukars and quail come from
by Elizabeth Young 14 Oct '10

14 Oct '10

Hello- Some of you have perhaps seen the invitations posted to join the protests of the live bird sales at the SF Farmers' Market (and Cheryl D & Kim F are among those who do) and this blog post shared by MickaCoo volunteer and foster Alice (thank you) adds another layer of info to the story. Probably all of you are aware of the efforts that many put forth, led by Tammy & Martha, to help find homes for the many chickens, roosters, chukars and quail that end up at SFACC (and other shelters). This story illustrates where most of those birds come from. The "partridges" in the photo are actually chukars. http://thetenderblog.com/2010/10/13/questionable-poultry-sales-at-the-hoc-f… 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

And MickaCoo needs volunteers too! -----Original Message----- From: Pamela Lee <pambudgie(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 4:39 PM To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Mickaboo volunteer request - Saturday 10/23, San Jose The San Jose Animal Care folks have invited Mickaboo (and several other rescues) to be at its adopt-a-thon on Saturday, 10/23. The event's public hours are 9-7pm - I'm ascertaining what (shorter) hours we can plan on being there. More info about the adopt-a-thon is here http://www.sanjoseanimals.com/adoptathon.asp Events like this are great ways to educate the public, and showcase birds available for adoption. Who would like to help represent Mickaboo at this event? Please email me directly at pambudgie(a)yahoo.com, and let me know if you can bring a foster bird (or two or three) - so I can tell the organizers how many tables we will need. Thanks in advance! -- Pam

Please help spread the word

Hello- I've updated my blog, www.RescueReport.org <http://www.rescuereport.org/>with news about the MickaCoo Fundraiser<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/10/mickacoos-first-fundraiser-open-house.h…>, Pierre the dove<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/10/pierre-update-10510-making-new-friend.h…>, abandoned racer Giselle's recovery<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/06/giselle.html>, Freddy the latest pigeon rescued from SFACC<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/09/freddy.html> and a trapped starling<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/10/screen-vents-ducts.html> . But the most important story is that there are lots and lots of birds in need of homes. The pigeons and doves that MickaCoo<http://www.mickacoo.org/>rescues are domestic and can't survive in the wild. People have bred them and then abandoned them and they need adopters if they are to escape being euthanized. So please- even if you're full up or not in a position to adopt a bird, *pass this along to others*. It takes a lot of outreach to find a great forever home for a pigeon or dove and YOU can help be a part of that. Please help spread the word. P.S. There are lots and lots of cockatiels and budgies and conures and parrots of all kinds in need of homes too! Check out www.Mickaboo.org<http://www.mickaboo.org/> .

It is heartbreaking, I know. There are two SFACC volunteers (that I know of) that are spending extra time there to try and help with all the birds. There are four pigeons there too.

Starling Didn't Survive
by Elizabeth Y 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

I'm very sad to tell you that the starling rescued from my vent duct didn't make it. Last night, before the worms but after the salty sugar water, the poor thing pooped black water (not blood- I checked). The bottom of the duct is covered with a really fine black powder that I think starling ate. In any case, he looked forlorn at dusk and so I brought him in from the coop and had him in a carrier half-bottomed with a heating pad. I was encouraged when I checked on him at 10 because he had turned away from the low light I had put on to check him. But the poor bird died in the night. I was really hoping he'd be ready to free. The starlings and feral pij bathe in a coop-top bird bath every morning... Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org
