Wile Rehab and Release
by C Dickinson 23 Jul '11

23 Jul '11

Hello! Last week while out shopping, I spot a pigeon hiding behind a garbage can, so I investigate ans he can not fly. So you guessed I swooped him up and took him home. So far he seems pretty healthy, good weight, good muscle mass, eat and drinks, poop perfect etc.. If I place him in my hands and bounces him he flaps both wings, so I do not think he has a broken bone. I'd love to work with him to heal his wing and release him back to his flock, but it is not my expertise. My first thoughts was to drive him over to WildCare, but if they deem him not able to fly, they may euthanize. My question is do you know of anyone who does wild life rehab that would take a pigeon? Thank you!Best, Cheryl __________________________________________________ Cheryl A King Pigeon Rescuer - http://cheryldickinson.com/kings.htm

Two rescued ringneck doves at Marin Humane Society in Novato need foster home
by Elizabeth Young 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Hello- There are two ringneck doves (rescued by good samaritans in 2 different counties but currently housed together I believe) that Marin Humane Society needs our help with. I don't know anything about these two except that they need more time to recover their strength before they can be added to our foster flock in the aviary in Woodside (if ever). Ringneck doves are easy to care for and make lovely pets (whether as fosters or forever!). If you can help, please contact me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com Thank you! -- Elizabeth * * *Please vote for Mickaboo at http://www.refresheverything.com/mickaboo everyday in July.

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] Tonight! Promo op in San Jose
by Elizabeth Young 20 Jul '11

20 Jul '11

I'm hoping to be there with lovely king pigeon Isabella. Is there anybody in the South Bay that would like to stir up some much-needed publicity for MickaCoo tonight? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lissa Shoun <lissa(a)andyspetshop.com> Date: Wed, Jul 20, 2011 at 3:02 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Tonight! Promo op in San Jose To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> This is an opportunity for Mickaboo to get a little publicity. It would be great if someone (you don't need a bird) can act as a spokesperson for Mickaboo starting about 7pm. I'll be running back and forth between the movie location and the pet shop. Pet Parade prior to the screening of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". It's an outdoor venue, so birds should be in carriers, or on harness. See below for more details: LOCATION: Post St between S. Market St and S 1st. Street (see map attached. It's 5 blocks from Andy's Pet Shop, so you may wish to park in our lot and walk over. Street parking should be free after 6 pm. TIME: 7:30 at Post St, or join us a bit earlier (around 7pm at Andy's Pet Shop) We can shuttle people and birds in our big van. PREPARE: Have some info, or humorous anecdote about your birds. You may talk, or I can "interview" you, or do all the talking myself. Ideas: bird's name, where from, favorite food, favorite movie, what scares your bird, tricks, etc. Send to me by email or just be prepared with ideas and I'll jot them down on notecards so we aren't speechless in front of the microphone. We'll have a pop-up shade structure, a table, and a couple of chairs. You can hang around the booth to talk to people, or walk around the audience as they take their seats. Bring flyers or pictures or banners or whatever you have. FINISH: None of the bird people I know are planning to stay for the movie. We'll likely be done by 8:30 by 8:45 at the very latest. There may be some kind of competition, voting for favorite bird for example, or Hitchcock trivia towards 8:30.

MickaCoo attended the Adopt-a-Thon at Marin Humane Society yesterday and Mickaboo presented a Bird Care Class. Traffic was light but people were very receptive and interested. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=563…
