Hello!

Hi all :) I volunteer with Mickaboo heavily, but ever since meeting Elizabeth and her aviary, I have become very interested in pij as well. I had a ringneck dove growing up, who we later gave to a person with a ringneck dove aviary and he ended up finding a mate and being very happy there. I remember him being very sweet and idolized our cockatiel. I don't have the means to foster currently, but will definitely try to help when I can :) I have a Meyers (Baby), tuxedo cat (Deisel) and a Leopard Gecko (Loki). And just today I found a chihuahua running around the street! Great... all this in my tiny 10x10 room :-p Looking forward to working more with 'Coo! Thank You, Priya Ringneck and Rosella Coordinator Conure/Education Teams

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Lost companion Pigeon in Vallejo
by Elizabeth Young 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello, Kelly- Is there a way to contact this person? If so, I'd STRONGLY recommend they alert the shelters all around AND post to Pigeon Talk at www.pigeons.biz/forums (though most likely a predator killed this bird). This is a tragic example of a mistake MickaCoo fights to correct. A lone, fancy pigeon has no business being out and about "free". It's like letting one's poodle or bunny roam the neighborhood. 8 [ e On Wed, Oct 26, 2011 at 5:09 PM, k s <kelsin(a)webtv.net> wrote: > posted by the lost & found: > > 10/26 Yesterday my sweet pigeon friend who is always free during the day > flew off and I haven't seen him since.
