Yea I went there as I heard they had good deals on cages (they do). Their breeders (lots of CAGs and tiels, some yellow naped and dyh zons, GCC, Sun conure, and severe macaw) are kept in those hanging cages. The babies/adoptables are kept in the office. Everyone is fed seeds. There are goats and horses there too. And chickens and turkeys and a rooster that was chasing after me...

Geez, that looks like a parrot mill. hopefully it's going out of business. those cages could be used for pigeons or doves. if you know of someone in the area who's thinking about adopting, please send them the link. i've saved the photos and a screen shot of the ad for my "why bird breeding should be banned" file. hmmph.

Good MickaCoo news too
by Elizabeth Young 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hello- I know I've been posting all kinds of dire and dramatic news (funny how I was panicked when we were overfull with 92 and now we're working on finding forever homes for 353!) but there's actually lots of wonderful news going on as well and so I wanted to quickly share some of that with y'all. Clare & Bob are fostering-to-adopt Dupree Heidi in Santa Cruz is adopting 6 doves (thank you Tina K!) Teri in AZ is adopting 4 kings (thank you Cheryl A!) Marsha will be fostering-to-adopt doves Pierre & Lucia and Magic & Daisy (thank you Martha!) Shae in Fairfax is building a great mini aviary and will be adopting 4 kings Tomoko & Tom will be fostering Joey & Sunny SF/SPCA will be fostering 6 to 8 pigeons (and publicizing and fundraising and humane educating about pij & doves & MickaCoo!) Kim & Johan will be fostering 2 pigeons Susan in NM will be adopting 8 pigeons and today Cathy & Cheryl A are doing a welfare check on the 30 kings rescued in Milpitas and we're getting inquiries about the rescued Iranian High Flyers and there's more too So don't despair. There are LOTS of amazing people who are willing and able to help (and do so with great compassion and integrity). We just have to keep asking and reaching out... (hint hint- wineries and farm sanctuaries and retreats and missions) e -- 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

Looking to borrow flight cage for foster bird
by Jaclyn Alderete 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hello, Does anyone have a flight cage I can borrow for Ian, an injured racing pigeon picked up from SJSU? He has been stitched up and is healing nicely from his multiple puncture wounds, but is not ready to be with other birds just yet. Would like to give him some more room during his recovery. Thank you, Jaclyn

Invitation to view Elizabeth Young's Picasa Web Album - Abandoned Lucky Dog Pigeons

MickaCoo volunteers will be back on Sunday to catch, box & transport these 150+ abandoned pigeons to our newest foster volunteer's loft in Gilroy. We need donations to help feed & flock treat them (for worms, etc.) and for vet care for those who need it. Fortunately, the vast majority appear to be healthy despite the conditions in which they've been living. Please use this link to donate: http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/donate.html and this link to adopt: http://mickaboo.org/apply-mickacoo.html https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=558…

Thanks. I've spoken with Roderick and he's only interested if I will just let him take birds out of the coop tomorrow. He feels like it's too much trouble to send me pix of his coop or do the online application or anything like that. Feel free to have your friend Mac contact me at AdoptKings(a)gmail.com. We would definitely appreciate the help of the roller clubs and we will make the system as painless as possible for them but I'm not going to just hand over birds without any effort on the part of the adopter.

I have to share this or I'll go bonkers...
by Elizabeth Young 12 Mar '11

12 Mar '11

Lucky Dog Pet Shop in Berkeley has been evicted and walked away from 100+ pigeons (and some chickens, etc. According to BACS, they have rescues for all but the pigeons). Story is here<http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/inberkeley/detail?entry_id=84678>(thank you, Chloe). We're working to help. AND I just got this email from Humane Society of Silicon Valley Hi, I just heard from Officer Toredo at SJACS and a man did release 30 pigeons down the street from us. The San Jose Mercury News and other media are already involved. He is trying to round up the birds, but does not want to keep them. We have received three birds so far. San Jose is also trying to take in some of them. I'm sorry! I wish I had better news! So there you go. -- 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
