Sunflower seeds! (Bags of them)
by Elizabeth Young 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

Hello- Thanks to the generosity of Pet Food Express and Shauna and Pamela and Virginia and probably some other folks along the way that I've inadvertantly left out- sorry!), I am the proud possessor of many, many pounds of sunflower seeds (in the shells). While the pigeons I feed will enjoy lots of them, I have more bags than even they need. I know that Chloe mentioned wanting some wild bird seed and I'm betting there are some others who might as well... Who would like a bag (approx 15 lbs) of sunflower seeds? I've got about 5 to spare. Thanks!!! 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

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] Rescue Mission
by Elizabeth Young 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

Please see below... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Michelle Yesney <msyesney(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 10:12 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Rescue Mission To: discuss <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> We received an email with the following information. Is there anyone who would be willing to work with this volunteer - preferably someone with some proficiency in Spanish - to talk to the family? Roof rats are very common in ivy in San Jose, so the concern is a real one. This would need a tactful approach, of course. I need some advice about some birds that do not appear to be in a great situation. I noticed them earlier this year. They are located in two cages in the side yard of a house on Lincoln Avenue in San Jose attached to a fence covered in ivy. It turns out that there are two cages, one with a dove and one with three cockatiels. They have minimal shelter from the elements (and no protection from anything in the ivy), and so I contacted animal control. They took the information and told me they would send someone out "eventually" since as they explained to me, the animals weren't in immediate danger or creating a dangerous situation. Several months went by and one day the birds and their cages were removed from the fence. I had hoped this was good news, but several weeks later, the cages (and presumably the birds), were repositioned down the fence, almost out of view from the street. I don't know what to do. The home appears to be occupied by an Hispanic family. I would offer to adopt the cockatiels (I realistically would need help with the dove), but I have no idea if the family even thinks this is a bad situation or wants to give the birds up. I do not speak Spanish and am not sure if there could be a language/cultural barrier if I were to approach them directly, and if it didn't go well, then what?! Do you have any suggestions on how to try and help these birds? I would greatly appreciate it as I worry about them constantly! Thank you. ------- HOW TO -------------------- CHANGE PERSONAL SETTINGS: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/discuss/ VIEW LIST ARCHIVE: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/discuss/ HOW TO RESET YOUR LIST PASSWORD: http://confluence.mickaboo.org/x/2wFj -- 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

A quote that really touched me
by Elizabeth Y 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

Hello- I was at the SF Animal Control & Welfare Commission tonight (as were Cheryl D and Barna and several Mickaboo volunteers among others) and guinea pig rescuer Teresa Murphy made a presentation that included a quote that I've seen before but not in its entirety. It is from Mahatma Ghandi and the part that was both new to me as well as especially moving said "The more helpless a creature is, the more it deserves protection from human cruelty." I have often wondered how I wound up being a pigeon rescuer and I think that is the answer. Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org

OT: and very cute One pound deer... Beautiful!

Beautiful! This is incredible. Enjoy! Jeannine One of those beautiful miracles given us each day and which are mostly lost. A brief moment that renews our spirit and gives joy to the heart. Kinda 'makes your day doesn't it ? This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a Wildlife hospital after a car killed his mother. Little Rupert, who is so small he can fit in an adult's hand, was born after vets failed in their battle to save his mother. At just 6" tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He has only recently opened his eyes. Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said, "Rupert's mother had very severe injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing, and then he went into an incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube." Rupert in an incubator. Rupert pulls a striking pose for the camera. Staff members are optimistic that Rupert, now 5 days old, will make a full recovery. "Deer are very, very tricky, but this one has spirit. He's an extremely feisty, Little guy and quite pushy," Mr. Stocker said. Asleep: Rupert takes 40 winks.
