Yesterday four more very lucky pigeons (Hedwig & Nigel and Ina & Chai) joined the original eight adopted by Terra Savia to live in the gorgeous aviary the winery built specifically to provide a home for rescued MickaCoo pigeons. We celebrated the event with delicious food, wine and company in beautiful Hopland. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=565…

Lots and lots of dove and pigeon homes needed!

Hello! MickaCoo has lots and lots of lovely pigeons and doves in foster care and many more on waiting lists to come in. Before we can take in new birds, we need adopters for some of the many birds that we currently have! Please be so kind as to help us get the word out! Here are some links to information about MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue (and I've attached our flyer as well). MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue <http://www.MickaCoo.org/> (our website) & www.RescueReport (my blog) Birds Available for Adoption<http://www.mickaboo.org/our-birds/species-19.html> (and there are always more that we haven't gotten on the website yet) How to Create an Aviary for Rescued King Pigeons<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/01/how-to-create-aviary-for-rescued-king.h…> (this article is helpful for whatever kinds of pigeon aviary you want to create) Online Application to Foster or Adopt<http://mickaboo.org/apply-mickacoo.html> Why Have a Pigeon For a Pet?<http://www.rescuereport.org/2008/09/why-have-pigeon-for-pet.html> Pigeon Pants!<http://www.rescuereport.org/2010/11/pigeons-as-indoor-pets-miracle-of.html> Videos about MickaCoo's Rescued Pigeons<http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/pigeon-videos.html> Thank you! -- Elizabeth * * *Please help MickaCoo win a much-needed Pepsi grant- vote everyday at http://www.refresheverything.com/mickacoo* 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

MickaCoo Updates (and please Pepsi vote!)

Hello- Lots going on this weekend including the grand opening of the first winery aviary for king pigeons at Terra Savia- http://confluence.mickaboo.org/display/MBPublic/Press+Release+9.16.2011 And Cordelia's Garage Sale to benefit Mickaboo, MickaCoo and Greyhound Friends for Life at 353 Hazel Ave San Bruno, CA 94066 And MickaCoo is holding steady in the top 15 (we're at #12 right now) but it is taking LOTS of support and voters to do it. Recyclers are helping us by collecting yellow Pepsi caps for the power codes and supporters are bidding for power codes on Listia and folks are recruiting friends to vote and text. PLEASE help us! The competition amongst the top ranked projects gets tougher and tougher as the contest goes on (ending 9/30) so your votes will mean everything for MickaCoo in the next two weeks. MickaCoo can (and needs to) win this! *http://www.refresheverything.com/mickacoo and text 108445 to 73774* * * P.S. Somebody released a bunch of baby king pigeons (bought from a live poultry market as squab) at Crissy Field in SF on 9/11. Many were killed but 6 were rescued. Picture attached. Thank you VERY much for supporting MickaCoo and what we do.

HELP STILL NEEDED Oiled/grounded pigeon in West Oakland needs help
by Elizabeth Young 15 Sep '11

15 Sep '11

Sherri or anyone in West Oakland- please call *Giovanna* at 510--238-6585! Giovanna- people are calling and being told the bird has been helped. The bird needs a safe place for the night and then a ride to WildCare (which we can help to find). Lindsay in Walnut Creek will not help pigeons (they are considered non-native species). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Capone, Giovanna <GCapone(a)oaklandlibrary.org> Date: Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 3:07 PM Subject: RE: Fw: [Mickaboo Discuss] Oiled/grounded pigeon in West Oakland needs help To: Elizabeth Young <adoptkings(a)gmail.com> Yes, I understand. No one here can take him to the bird rescue place in Walnut Creek, which closes at 5pm. We close at 5:30pm and are usually short staffed - including today. Do you know if any of your contacts can drop by?

Hello- if you or anybody you know could check on what seems to be an oiled pigeon hanging out at the West Oakland Public Library (*1801 Adeline St **Oakland, CA 94607) *it would be much appreciated.

Help! MickaCoo needs Help!
by Elizabeth Young 14 Sep '11

14 Sep '11

Hello- Help! MickaCoo needs your help. We have slipped back to #13 in the Pepsi challenge and have to be in the top 15 to win the grant. This grant is a must-win for MickaCoo. Please vote here http://www.refresheverything.com/mickacoo AND text 108445 to 73774 AND share on Facebook or with other networks AND collect the yellow Pepsi caps for their power vote codes. and MickaCoo is full with nearly 100 pigeons and doves in our foster care. There are currently 15 birds waiting to come in and we will be losing a foster aviary with a capacity of 20 so we are really in need of another foster aviary AND adopters. It is easy and not terribly expensive to create an aviary for pigeons and doves and this article outlines how: How to Create an Aviary for Rescued Pigeons<http://www.rescuereport.org/2011/01/how-to-create-aviary-for-rescued-king.h…>. We also have some used aviaries available (pictures attached). and MickaCoo really needs more people-power. We need a Dove Coordinator and someone to help do outreach and marketing to generate awareness and adopters and we need someone to coordinate fundraising and we could really use an experienced ASM data-entry volunteer. I am stretched to the breaking point. Thank you for any and all help you are able to provide.
