Terra Savia & MickaCoo partnership
by Mary Long 13 May '11

13 May '11

What terrific news, Elizabeth! Would they be making "ancient Roman use" of the pigeeon waste? They are a merchant I would certainly support, too! Just signed up for their newsletter. Don't do wine these days, definitely would treat ourselves to a lovely honey or olive oil.... :)

Re: [MickaCoo] [Mickaboo Discuss] Northern California Pet Adoption website update

Thank you, Kymberleigh and Diane for listing so many of our birds! The entries look great and the additional exposure (and in such a pet-friendly venue at Pet Food Express) is MUCH appreciated!

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] South Bay Farmers' Market take 2
by Elizabeth Young 10 May '11

10 May '11

MickaCoo birds are encouraged to consider attending too. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Rachael Prewett <rprewett(a)gmail.com> Date: Tue, May 10, 2011 at 8:56 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] South Bay Farmers' Market take 2 To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> I'm hoping to visit a different Farmers' Market on the weekend of May 28th/29th or June 4th/5th. This won't be the Campbell Farmers' Market - as I figure we can hit a larger audience if we vary which venues we visit. On Saturdays there's a Farmers' Market in Santa Clara, on Homestead (9am-1pm), and on Sunday there's a Farmers' Market at Santana Row (11am-3pm). If you're interested in doing either a 2 or 4 hour shift at one of these events, please contact me offlist with what date(s) you can do, what times you can stay, and what (if any) foster birds you can bring. Foster birds must be clipped and contained in safe caging (or harnessed). Remember, these events can be pretty lively, and people often bring their dogs, so keep that in mind when selecting a foster bird for an outdoor event like this. ~Rachael ------- HOW TO -------------------- CHANGE PERSONAL SETTINGS: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/discuss/ VIEW LIST ARCHIVE: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/private/discuss/ HOW TO RESET YOUR LIST PASSWORD: http://confluence.mickaboo.org/x/2wFj -- Elizabeth * * 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

I did it!!!!!
by Elizabeth Young 10 May '11

10 May '11

Oh my goodness! I left SFACC yesterday almost in tears. MickaCoo has 251 (!!) pigeons in foster care and there are 8 (!!) more at SFACC right now! BUT my outreach to wineries for my idea of a king pigeon aviary has paid off and I have one that says, Yes! Terra Savia<http://www.terrasavia.com/index.html>in Hopland says yes yes yes and I am meeting with them this Thursday! They are organic, already committed to rescue and will create a wonderful aviary for 10-15 rescued king pigeons! AND they know some others that they think will also want to help. Oh my goodness. I can breathe again! I've attached Julia Green's gorgeous (and donated!) illustration of this dream of mine... one that is about to come true! -- Elizabeth * * 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

Marsha- I'll be your first volunteer. Send me a (not-too-long-list-please) of targets to contact. And I'm sure others will jump in and offer to help too. Thank you for leading this effort.

An easy way to help...

*I'm posting this message for MickaCoo adopter & volunteer Marsha because of technical difficulties. EY * As you all know the Silent Auction part of the annual Holiday party is a chance for us to raise some badly needed money for Boo and Coo. Margie Gear and I are working on this together but we desperately need some HELP. I am putting together a list of possible donors, restaurants, hotels, etc and all I need is a few good people to call these places and get the contact person and the fax number so I can start sending our requests. It is important that we do this ASAP because Margie found that last year contacting them in August was many times too late, they had already used the money that they had allocated for donations. Please, please contact me if you would be willing to take some names and phone numbers and lend a hand- marsha.b(a)comcast.net. The birds thank you.
