Help Needed! Urgent transport, foster, vet $ and adopter outreach too
by Elizabeth Young 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Hello- MickaCoo <http://www.MickaCoo.org> is so, SO full with more than 85 pigeons & doves in foster care (and more looking to us to help them find homes) that, even if someone is available to pick up and transport this poor bird to an avian vet AND someone is available to foster him (indoors in a crate with heating pad & 2x daily meds) AND folks will donate on his behalf to pay for vet care, I hesitate to take him in. We really need help to outreach to potential adopters. MickaCoo works great when people are creating aviaries and new adopters are coming in but adoptions have been REALLY slow and we are maxed out on the numbers of birds we can care for. So. Is all that help available? This is the message I just got from SJACS. *We have an adult White Pigeon at our shelter that has an injury to his front breast bone and feathers are missing, he is being treated by the vet, I was wondering if you have someone that can pick him up as soon as possible.* * * *I don't know any more than that.

Invitation to view Elizabeth Young's Picasa Web Album - MickaCoo meets with SF/SPCA Animal Campers
by Elizabeth Young 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

I had the pleasure of introducing rescued pij Rocky & Dupree to SF/SPCA's Animal Campers last week & it was wonderful! Their Humane Education program is really shaping the way these kids approach animals. And the SF/SPCA Humane Education team wants to work more closely with Mickaboo & 'Coo (to fundraise, help raise visibility, increase adoptions, etc.) Who's interested in helping with this mutually beneficial partnership? I'm in but I can't do it by myself! Thank you for considering! Elizabeth, MickaCoo https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/sredir?uname=AdoptKings&target=ALBUM&id=557…

Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] Avian Lighting Class THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 6 in Hayward
by Elizabeth Young 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful and very informative FREE class for anyone who loves a bird living indoors! Elizabeth & MickaCoo ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Redon, Chloe <Chloe.Redon(a)windriver.com> Date: Mon, Feb 28, 2011 at 3:02 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Avian Lighting Class THIS SUNDAY, MARCH 6 in Hayward To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> I sent a reminder to everyone who RSVP'd for the class. For anyone else who has not yet committed, John is giving the Avian (Vision) and Lighting Class this Sunday. You have no idea what a difference proper lighting can make to a bird's happiness, behavior, appetite, and what it can do to help minimize phobia's, egg-laying, aggression, etc. We will have sample lights and fixtures, we can also sell extra 4-foot bulbs (you need to get the fixtures). We will bring handouts, class outlines, and links to where to buy everything you need. We can car pool from Berkeley with one more person (Julie Schroeder is taking up one space). Please read the information in the link about parking. http://confluence.mickaboo.org/display/MBPublic/Advanced+Bird+Classes ========================================================================= * Avian Lighting * Birds are the most visually-oriented of all vertebrates and have one of nature's most sophisticated visual systems. Their vision evolved under the sun - an environment far different from that of the modern human home. This class will cover how and what birds see, what birds use light for, and how to build an indoor lighting system that simulates the qualities of sunlight. Topics Include: * How and what birds see * What birds use light for * Why home lighting is inadequate * How lighting can affect behavior, diet, screaming, phobias, and sleep cycles * The role of UV in avian vision * Characteristics of the ideal avian light * Current options for avian lighting * Which bulbs to use and which to avoid There is no charge for this class. However, donations to Mickaboo are always welcome. We will have sample lights and fixtures, and some bulbs to purchase at the class. Next Class Date: Sunday, March 6, 2011 Time: 1:30 to 5:15 We will take one or two short breaks. Please arrive 5 minutes early to fill out our class list and obtain our handouts so that we can start on time. Location: Pueblo Springs Clubhouse 27930 Pueblo Springs Drive Hayward, CA 94545-4518 Parking: There is no onstreet (on the street) parking, so please park in guest parking (lots of spaces scattered around the park), all of which are easy walking distance to the clubhouse. -- Chloe Redon Tech and Conure Teams Education Curriculum www.mickaboo.org ============================== Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue "Don't buy, don't breed.......

Fwd: Pigeon Shoots a Black Eye for Pennsylvania | Wayne Pacelle: A Humane Nation

Pigeon Shoots a Black Eye for Pennsylvania | Wayne Pacelle: A Humane Nation <http://hsus.typepad.com/wayne/> <http://fusion.google.com/add?source=atgs&feedurl=http://feeds.feedburner.co…> ------------------------------ Pigeon Shoots a Black Eye for Pennsylvania<http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/typepad/hsus/wayne/~3/u1KDQdP7LNQ/pigeon-sho…> Posted: 28 Feb 2011 10:03 AM PST More than two decades ago, when I first became active in animal protection, I went to protest what was then the nation’s largest pigeon shoot<http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/contest_kills/facts/pennsylvania_pigeon…>— in Hegins, Pennsylvania. The organizers trapped thousands of live pigeons from cities and other areas where the birds lived and then trucked them back to Hegins. There, they released them from boxes just yards away from a line of waiting shooters, who maimed and killed the birds as a target shooting exercise — and as a horrible excuse for a fundraiser for the local fire department. It was a sickening spectacle, and I write about the issue in detail in my forthcoming book, *The Bond<http://www.humanesociety.org/about/events/the_bond/> * (Harper Collins/William Morrow, April 5). The ugly and painful experience changed me forever, and revealed to me the lengths that some people go to rationalize their cruelty — even something so indefensible as live pigeon shooting. [image: Pigeon] SXC/Andreyutzu If you live in Pennsylvania, take action here<https://secure.humanesociety.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&…> . Witnessing the cruelty of pigeon shoots also changed the life of HSUS’s current senior vice president of campaigns, Heidi Prescott. At the time, she was a volunteer and a wildlife rehabilitator. At her first shoot, it didn’t take her long to come across a wounded bird who had been suffering for hours and was gasping for breath. The bird’s injuries were so severe that she helped to humanely euthanize the animal. She says that after this experience, she made a pledge to campaign against pigeon shoots until they were ended for good. Unfortunately, the practice continues in Pennsylvania — one of the last states where these terrible shoots are openly staged. Fortunately for the birds, Heidi hasn’t given up and she’s still lobbying in the halls of the state capitol in Harrisburg to end this cruelty. The NRA is the impediment to progress. The fact is, though, that so many rank-and-file NRA members don’t support this cruelty. NRA member W. Scott Yoder grew up serving as a trapper boy in Pennsylvania pigeon shoots. He was assigned to shoot the half-dead pigeons who weren’t killed outright by the first barrage of bullets. He recalls that even as a child, he knew on some level that these events were wrong. He saw wounded birds flop around helplessly and saw other boys throwing dead pigeons into a dumpster. He writes <http://berkshumane.org/blog/?p=31>: “...I spent many sleepless nights mulling this over in my brain. The final straw for me was going for Sunday breakfast at one of these clubs, the day after the shoot, and watching the wounded birds from the day before hopping pathetically around the parking lot, and looking up to the roof of the Gun Club, where many half-dead birds were perched waiting for certain death, or if they were lucky, to get picked off by a passing hawk.” Today, Yoder is a board member of the Humane Society of Berks County in Pennsylvania and speaks out passionately against pigeon shoots. Over the years, The HSUS and The Fund for Animals have helped to end many shoots, including the infamous Hegins event. Yet it’s not enough to stop some shoots; all of these shoots must be forbidden by law. Just last week, a new bill<https://secure.humanesociety.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&…>was introduced in Pennsylvania to finally bring an end to these events. With the publication of my book, I hope we’ll shine a new spotlight on this abuse, and see a permanent end to such a barbaric and despicable and unnecessary practice. <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/hsus/wayne?a=u1KDQdP7LNQ:ig_r7gBPU7…> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/hsus/wayne?a=u1KDQdP7LNQ:ig_r7gBPU7…> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/hsus/wayne?a=u1KDQdP7LNQ:ig_r7gBPU7…> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/hsus/wayne?a=u1KDQdP7LNQ:ig_r7gBPU7…> <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/hsus/wayne?a=u1KDQdP7LNQ:ig_r7gBPU7…> You are subscribed to email updates from Wayne Pacelle: A Humane Nation<http://hsus.typepad.com/wayne/> To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now<http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=w7WYt3-JmL-f-Di2nUe78n8…> .

Rescued hawk-struck pigeons Lucky & Biscuit
by Elizabeth Young 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Rescued hawk-struck pigeons Lucky & Biscuit met in foster care and are now a mated couple. Lucky (the gray feral) is blind. They shared a bath today. Pigeons are very romantic. MickaCoo is super full and needs adopters. Do you know anybody who'd enjoy a backyard aviary? I'll be posting a "How to create a pigeon aviary" to the Rescue Report a couple hours from now... -- 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
