Bird ride needed SF - SJ
by Elizabeth Y 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Hello- Remember that little roller pigeon that crashed into Laurie's boss' window a couple weeks back? Well Genie made a quick and full recovery AND hit the Birdy Lotto because he has a home and a mate waiting for him with MickaCoo's pij & dove expert Cathy in SJ! Can anybody give him a ride SF to SJ? No cage, just a small box and one VERY lucky bird! Thanks for considering, e Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org

Fwd: Unbanded satinette needs a home
by Elizabeth Young 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

Hello- This "Satinette" (experts- is that correct?) is at the SJ Animal Shelter and needs preferrably an adoptive home because our fosters are on the way to full real fast! Do you know anybody that could offer a nice home to this bird? When you read the message below, you will know all that I know. If you DO find a potential adopter or want to foster, please let me know so that I can cross it off my Worry List.

HANDLED (for the moment) Pidgeon found with poss. Broken wings
by Elizabeth Young 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

BIG thanks to Priya for stepping in to help this bird and to Vinny for somehow adding one more bird on his To Do list today and getting him picked up and into the care of MCFB. I'm *hoping* Dr. S will rehab and release this adult feral but not enough is known about his condition so stayed tuned for the possibility of a Foster Home Beg Fest! (And if this one doesn't need it, there are quite a few others queued up hoping to come in.) e On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 2:39 PM, Vincent J.

Hello, Priya- Most wildlife rescues, even those that do help pigeons (WildCare, PHS, WCSV), will euthanize a pij with a wing injury, despite the fact that a flightless pij can live a long and happy life as a pet (and are legal to keep). Dr. Speer at the Medical Center for Birds in Oakley might treat him and then MickaCoo could work on finding a home (though we are again full up and being flooded with new birds!) or the same with Dr. Cythina Lynn at Montclair Vet Hospital in Oakland. I'm swamped and late for an appointment and so not able to help much with this- I'm sorry. You might want to just keep and stabilize the pigeon and post to Pigeon Talk at www.pigeons.biz/forums for helping finding a local rehabber with an opening. If you do that, mention MickaCoo sent you or they'll just send you back to me. I've included MickaCoo's Discussion Group in this response just in case someone feels they can help. We've had 7 requests to intake pigeons in the past 4 days and so MickaCoo is feeling really full up again. THANK YOU FOR HELPING THIS PIGEON. You can try calling me at (415) 420-7204 if that will help. e On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 2:20 PM, Priya Tuvell <ptuvell(a)gmail.com> wrote: > A coworker of mine (we are vet techs) just called me saying she picked up a > pidgeon that might have broken wings in concord.

Hello! Who wants to help me deep clean and repair my 10 x 13' backyard pigeon coop? Doesn't that sound fun? My plan is to relocate the birds into the garage for a weekend, pull out the old, wonky nest boxes and tear off the leaky fiberglass roof and replace with a new (needs assembly) nest box and new fiberglass. It will probably only take one day (especially if a few folks can help). I know this is short notice but I wanted to see if anyone was available this Saturday 6/26 or would 7/17 be more "attractive"? Me and the pigeons send you our thanks for considering! Elizabeth Help deep clean and repair my SF pigeon coop 6/26-27 or 7/17-18?

OT: PBS News Hour Treats Chicken Abuse as Cute Advertising
by Elizabeth Young 22 Jun '10

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: United Poultry Concerns <news(a)upc-online.org> Date: Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 8:49 AM Subject: [UPC] PBS News Hour Treats Chicken Abuse as Cute Advertising To: adoptkings(a)gmail.com [image: United Poultry Concerns] *22 June 2010* PBS News Hour Treats Chicken Abuse as Cute Advertising Please post a protest letter to PBS. They need to hear from us now. As an intro and conclusion to its June 21st story on Small Business Credit, PBS News Hour thought it cute to feature a terrified chicken being chased by a business owner in front of jeering employees: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/business/jan-june10/makingsense_06-21.html Please tell the producers of PBS News Hour that this coverage has descended to an all-time low. If they want to produce a serious news story, they should cover the human-animal violence connection that demonstrates that cruelty to animals encourages violence at all levels throughout society. Tell PBS not to be part of the problem, but to find other metaphors to describe the plight of small business owners that do not involve cruelty to, and humiliation of, less powerful creatures. Remind them that the American public is disgusted with and exhausted from pictures of terrified and dying birds in the Gulf, and PBS can do better than mock the torment of birds. Please mention the "June 21, 2010 PBS News Hour Program on Small Business Credit" in your comments which you may submit at: http://video.pbs.org/feedback.html Thank you for taking time to let PBS know that it's wrong to mock and harass animals.

Three baby king pigeons found in GG Park
by Elizabeth Young 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

Hello- A feral pigeon rescuer happened to be releasing some rehabbed pij in Golden Gate Park when he saw a family of three people trying to help three king pigeon youngsters that were standing around (probably right where they were "set free") at Stowe Lake. He recognized what they were and that they needed help and, together, they rounded up the baby kings and George brought them home to short term foster. He *may* end up having to take them to SFACC. He can't keep them and I'm not sure that I can find foster spots for them. So I'm sharing with you (and lots of other folks to) just in case you or someone you know can help. 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
