Kingston & Snowflake are a mated pair of king pigeons that have cutaneous
pigeon pox (bumps on their feet). They are being threatened with euthanasia
at the shelter even though cutaneous pigeon pox is a mild virus that pigeons
recover very well from. It's not very contagious (or at least hasn't been
with MickaCoo's 550 pigeons served in the past 4 years- we've treated
several that had it and never had it spread). Dr. Speer says it is distinct
from parrot pox and so is not considered a risk (though quarantine is always
encouraged).

If you or someone you know could help us save the lives of these birds, it
would be much appreciated. They'd do best fostered together in a big dog
crate (which I or your local shelter could loan you) and they'll need about
2-3 weeks of care (easy- food, water, housekeeping, no meds).

MickaCoo is full up right now but we do have some adoptions in development
and so this won't need to be a long term foster.

These birds are in San Mateo but transport can be figured out.

Please share and cross-post. These guys need sanctuary! It is so
unfortunate that many shelter vets consider euthanasia a treatment for a
sick pigeon.

Thank you!
