Feathers Wanted for Fund Raising for Mickaboo and Mickacoo
by tmtengan＠att.net 22 Jun '11

22 Jun '11

Hello All! My family adopted 2 doves, Neela and Sandpiper a month ago. We are so happy to have them as part of our family. They are doing beautifully! My 10 year old daughter Aria and 14 year old son Austin have a fund raising plan for Mickacoo and Mickaboo. They would like to have you send them your bird's feathers. From the feathers we will make decorative hair clips, dangles, picture frames etc. They will sell these items (at the Santa Clara County Youth Fair for example) and give much of the proceeds back to Mickacoo and Mickaboo. We will treat the feathers with Pyrethrins for health reasons. We will do our best to use natural, sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Please send feathers from your bird's general molting and from flight feather clippings (where appropriate). We will also use bits of down. If you have peacock feathers collecting dust, or know of a source willing to donate some to us that would be wonderful. Send feathers to: A and A's Art for The Birds 7480 Heatherwood Drive Cupertino, CA 95014 (408) 252-2456 If you'd like us to do a special piece for you from your favorite bird, or from your entire flock, please contact us directly. We are honored to represent both organizations and to help with public education and outreach at the same time. Happiness, Health and Prosperity! Tania, Austin and Aria

MickaCoo Pepsi Challenge: Another Way to Reach Out
by Shae Irving 21 Jun '11

21 Jun '11

Hi Again Folks: In addition to sending an email to all of my friends and family asking them to vote for the pij in the Pepsi Refresh Project challenge, I contacted the public relations department of my local animal shelter -- for me, that's the Marin Humane Society -- using the note below. I found the address on the MHS website. I will follow up with a phone call later today or tomorrow, to see if I can speak directly with their PR person. Would you be willing to reach out to your local shelter(s) to ask if they can use their connections to get voters for MickaCoo? Because MickaCoo works in partnership with many shelters, taking the pigeons and doves that come in, these shelters will directly benefit from keeping the organization healthy. Elizabeth asked me to post the note I wrote, in case you want to use it as a model for your own. Thanks much. Shae _____________________________________________ Hello: My name is Shae and I am a King pigeon adopter and volunteer with MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue. (I'm also a Marin County native.) I saw that MHS was recently able to work with MickaCoo to foster and place a small flock of King pigeons and a few doves. Thank you!!! I don't know whether you've heard, but MickaCoo is currently in the running to win a $25K grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project (http://ow.ly/5n02r) There are very few sources of financial support for domestic birds, so a grant like this could make all the difference in keeping MickaCoo alive. To win the grant, we need enough voters to place the organization in the top 15 projects. Right now we are placed 33rd out of about 160 potential projects -- good but not enough to succeed unless we get more help. That's why I'm writing to you. I wonder whether there are any avenues through which you'd be willing to support MickaCoo by spreading the word to help us get voters -- an email list, FB, Twitter? The instructions for voting are super easy to follow, and I also have a flyer that could be printed out and posted at MHS. I would love to send an email with details and flyer attached, or have a talk on the phone. Voting closes at the end of June, so we need to act quickly. I do hope you can help us: If MikcaCoo stays healthy, the organization can continue to ease some of the burden on MHS and other shelters by accepting pigeons and doves for fostering and adoption. Thank you very much for your consideration and I hope to hear from you soon! Shae ________________________ Shae Irving P.O.

Transportation from Antioch to El Dorado Hills for Diamond Doves?
by Elizabeth Young 20 Jun '11

20 Jun '11

Is there anyone that could provide transportation for 10 diamond doves from Antioch to El Dorado Hills? (No cage transport required and diamond doves are itty bitty and could go in a shelter box or pet carrier.) If so, please contact Tanni at tabza17(a)sbcglobal.net (and cc me so that I can cross it off my list). Thank you!!! e -- 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

Do you know anyone who could provide a good home to diamond doves?
by Elizabeth Young 19 Jun '11

19 Jun '11

Hello- There is a flock of 80+ diamond doves in Antioch that must be rehomed ASAP because their person has developed a lung condition that requires her to stay away from birds. Diamond doves are very small (budgie size) and are nervous and delicate little creatures. They do best in an aviary and need a heat source in the winter. They don't make good pets as they are easily startled. They are very cute and can be loved from afar. Please help to get the word out about these birds. They and their person need our help. If you know of anyone that has diamond doves or might be interested, please refer them to me. Thank you!
