SVACA is the animal control authority for Santa Clara - perhaps they can
help?
Did we remove the chicken and the dove?

Hello-
Last week there were a bunch of kings dumped at the Our Lady of Peace Church in Santa Clara and, thanks to good samaritans (and now MickaCoo's newest volunteers) Jaclyn & Rod, 7 of them are safe and being cared for.
At least ANOTHER TEN have been dumped by a couple believed to speak Vietnamese. Three pigeons have been caught, one killed by a car and the fate of the others still TBD. We're absorbing the healthy, aviary-ready birds into foster aviaries and have 4 sick one in special care but are going to need help for any more sick or injured ones that come in. (Short-term foster in a dog-crate on a heating pad with likely twice daily meds and a vet trip.)
If you can help foster sick birds OR if you speak/write Vietnamese (or know someone who does) or if you are in the area and can help stake out the area, please reply to me (AdoptKings@gmail.com) and to Jaclyn at jaclyn.alderete@gmail.com
Also- four of the original seven caught have needed vet care and we know that at least of the three caught today will too. If you are able, please donate towards the cost of these poor birds care. Three were sick BEFORE being dumped (Paco, Lupita & Francis) and one was damn near killed by a hawk (Mogie). The link for donating is here- http://www.rescuereport.org/2009/09/donate.html and include "Our Lady of Peace Pigeons" in the comments/note section.
Please share this with others as well.
We've been too busy dealing with all these poor birds to get them up on the website or blog yet but that will be coming- stay tuned. Here's a link to some pictures on Facebook- http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=home#!/album.php?aid=289581&id=729421208
