Elizabeth & MickaCoo PLEASE HELP MICKACOO WIN $25K BY VOTING EVERYDAY IN JUNE AT http://www.refresheverything.com/mickacoopigeonanddoverescue AND TEXTING 106711 TO 73774! www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org -----Original Message----- From: LL <parrot0294(a)yahoo.com> Sent: Sunday, June 26, 2011 8:39 AM To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Pepsi Refresh Has anyone talked to one of the recycling redemption centers to see if you can get the lids off the Pepsi bottles and look for power vote codes? My MO friend who's non-profit is in the Pepsi Challenge has a friend in Iowa who was successful in securing a large number of power codes from a redemption center (in MO we don't pay deposits on the plastic bottles, but CA does and I remember there used to be a redemption bin in my local Safeway parking lot) Just an idea...

Long-term "boarding" needed for bonded pair of doves
by Elizabeth Young 25 Jun '11

25 Jun '11

Hello- Two doves need a place to stay for a year while their person is stationed abroad. Natalie is willing to make a $300 donation to MickaCoo or to pay that for "boarding" (your choice). If you or someone you know would like to help for the next 12 months, please contact me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com *** * Hello, my name is Natalie, and I'm in search of placement for two doves. My work is calling me out of the country until the following May. Ideally, I would like to be reunited with them once I return, if at all possible. Oktur is a male Luzon bleeding heart dove, approximately 3.5 years old. Penny is a (presumedly) female ringneck dove of unknown age. They are both fully flighted. Neither has had any health problems; however, Oktur does require nail and/or beak trimming as needed. The doves have until recently lived in a large flight cage (6'x6'x3'). Oktur is a ground dove, so he spends much of the day walking on the ground. His ideal housing situation would be a cage or aviary with clean, atraumatic bottom substrate for him to walk on. I place food for him on the ground, but he drinks from an elevated water dish. He spends the nights roosted on a perch with Penny. The doves are fed a mixture of seed, fresh berries, and "bugs n berries" food. I also include some shredded carrots, lettuce, cooked grains, and cheese on occasion. Oktur's plumage benefits greatly from daily misting, as he isn't probe to bathing himself like Penny is. His plumage took a turn for the worst during the car ride to California, so he isn't looking his handsomest right now. I would welcome any questions or concerns that anyone might have. Thank you for your time and consideration! Sincerely, Natalie* ***

Foster Home Needed for a Flightless Dove (please share & cross-post)
by Elizabeth Young 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hello- There is a lovely ring neck dove at the SVACA shelter that has an old injury and can't fly (and so can't be added to our foster dove aviary). He would be very happy fostered in a flight cage or with other special needs doves. If you or anyone you know might be able to help, please let me know. Thank you!

Advice for dove adopter?
by Elizabeth Young 23 Jun '11

23 Jun '11

Hello- Julie and other parents of Mission Kids Preschool in SF adopted 6 of MickaCoo's doves last year to live in their sheltered but outside aviary. There is one that seems alone and fluffed and tired and is getting a little picked on. Julie has isolated it and will work with her local avian vet but I wanted to introduce her to the MickaCoo group in case folks with more dove experience than me could help with ideas/recommendations. Thank you! -- Elizabeth * * *PLEASE HELP MICKACOO WIN $25K BY VOTING EVERYDAY IN JUNE AT* *http://www.refresheverything.com/mickacoopigeonanddoverescue AND TEXTING 106711 TO 73774!* * * 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
