Hello All! My family adopted 2 doves, Neela and Sandpiper a month ago. We are so happy to have them as part of our family. They are doing beautifully! My 10 year old daughter Aria and 14 year old son Austin have a fund raising plan for Mickacoo and Mickaboo. They would like to have you send them your bird's feathers. From the feathers we will make decorative hair clips, dangles, picture frames etc. They will sell these items (at the Santa Clara County Youth Fair for example) and give much of the proceeds back to Mickacoo and Mickaboo. We will treat the feathers with Pyrethrins for health reasons. We will do our best to use natural, sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Please send feathers from your bird's general molting and from flight feather clippings (where appropriate). We will also use bits of down. If you have peacock feathers collecting dust, or know of a source willing to donate some to us that would be wonderful. Send feathers to: A and A's Art for The Birds 7480 Heatherwood Drive Cupertino, CA 95014 (408) 252-2456 If you'd like us to do a special piece for you from your favorite bird, or from your entire flock, please contact us directly. We are honored to represent both organizations and to help with public education and outreach at the same time. Happiness, Health and Prosperity! Tania, Austin and Aria
