Don Juan Pij

Hey all, I thought I would share this picture with you because it is too cute not to. I lost my foster pigeon's favorite cat toy, so until I could get to the pet store I tied scrap materials; beads, bell, and a plastic rose to a piece of yarn. First thing in the morning I looked in his carrier and saw that he had demolished his new pigeon toy and was holding the plastic rose in his mouth. I thought it was so cute. What a little romantic pigeon he is! :) Jaclyn

An exciting alternative for all those incredible eggs!
by Elizabeth Young 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello- Like many of you, as a pigeon and dove foster and adopter, I periodically must remove the incredibly gorgeous eggs that the birds lay and replace them with fake eggs (for birth control). I compost the eggs but, when I read an article in the SF Chronicle about artist J. Brooke Patterson's incredible artwork<http://www.jbrooke.com/jbrooke/Home.html>, I was inspired to contract Brooke and offer her the eggs instead. Not only did she graciously say yes to using them, but she is also very generously donating one of her works for sale at the upcoming Mickaboo Holiday Party<http://confluence.mickaboo.org/display/MBPublic/Mickaboo+Holiday+Party+2010>Silent Auction fundraiser! If you're not familiar with how beautiful pigeon (and dove) eggs are (and what amazingly devoted parents they are), check out this story called Pigeon Family Values<http://www.rescuereport.org/2008/04/pigeon-family-values.html> . And, if you, like me, hate having to throw away the eggs your birds lay, please- put them in the refrigerator and store them. We'll collect them and hand them off to Brooke for use in her incredible art. In fact, I'll be at the Holiday Party this Saturday night and would be happy to pick up any eggs that you want to bring at that time. 8 ) And check out Brooke's art at her website- www.jbrooke.com Yay! Thank you, Brooke! 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

Home needed ASAP for lovely tame dove Ernesto
by Elizabeth Young 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hello- Ernesto is a very sweet, tame white ringneck dove who's person of 10 years recently passed away. He was taken in by MickaCoo (thank you, Tom!) and quickly adopted and his new person, Helen, LOVES him but her HOA doesn't and has insisted that he puts her out of agreement with their terms. So Ernesto needs a new home. He comes with his own cage and is an incredibly charming fellow. He is single and his cooing for a mate is sometimes loud (though not in the same ballpark as parrot vocalizations). I'd actually love to see him paired with another dove so that he would have the benefit of a mate (and his loud mate-calling coos would cease). (And I can help with that.) So- can you or someone you know help out Ernesto? His heartbroken adopter Helen will transport. Please reply to AdoptKings(a)gmail.com Thank you! -- 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

Their audience is families with children, often young children, and the objective of these Days is to make them aware of opportunities for families to volunteer together or otherwise give back to the community...especially at this season of "getting." The museum thinks that supporting our work will be of interest to their visitors. More info about the museum is at http://www.cdm.org/index.asp?f=1. Address is 180 Woz Way, San Jose, CA. The Giving Back Days are December 27-30. The Museum is open from 9-5 on those days, and we are invited for one day or all, for as many hours as we want to be there. This is not an opportunity to ask for donations, but to get the word out about what Mickaboo does and how families can help. Who would like to represent Mickaboo in this way, for which date/hours? Please email me at pambudgie(a)yahoo.com if you are interested.

Mickaboo holiday party (12/4) - volunteer request
by Lee, Pamela A 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi folks, We will be experimenting with using a laptop to take credit card payments via Paypal. I'd appreciate a few volunteers to take shifts at watching over the laptop - in part to help others use Paypal, and in part so they can flag me down if the wireless modem we're using acts up (not expected... just in case). Any takers? Email me at pambudgie(a)yahoo.com if you're interested in helping in this way.
