Dave Coverly's "Speed Bump" is one of my daily must-reads. He frequently turns to bird-themed gags for his toons so I have a lot of these archived.
Given my professional career as a radio programming consultant, this one from December 7, 2009 is a personal favorite.
A good portion of the content at the site ICanHasCheezburger.com is captioned pictures, with one whole area devoted to "Animal Capshunz". I've collected several dozen images from there and will post one every few days as a break from the usual cartoon style.

This is the new blog "Bird Toon of the Day". For our first entry, a Mickaboo favorite ... Bizarro from October 6, 2013. Dan Piraro, who is a supporter of animal rights organizations in general, autographed a print of this cartoon for our Holiday Auction later that same year.
The GlobalGiving matching gift funds are now GONE! Thanks to the generosity of 75 of you, Mickaboo managed to raise $16,626 (inclusive of matching funds) - more than our $15K fundraising goal, allowing us to help heal many many birds (about 80 vet appointments for garden-variety issues, or 3 treatments for more severe matters, like Louie's surgery).
Our current total is $16,138, exceeding our $15,000 fundraising goal! Yippee! Your generosity during this GlobalGiving matching event makes your gift go further than usual and helps Mickaboo build a solid foundation as we continue into the new year.
There's $32K in matching funds still left! Let's use it up for the birds!
Thanks to your continued support, Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue has been able to continue our work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and
The final total is $29,817, essentially matching our $30,000 end-of-year fundraising goal! THANK YOU for your collective generosity! The funds will go a long way toward meeting the medical needs of our foster flock (depending on how needy our birds are, of course - we've spent $40K on one month's bills in the not-too-distant past).
Our current total is $24,142, over 80% of our $30,000 end-of-year fundraising goal! That's about a typical month's worth of vet costs for our flock of 400+ birds. Regardless of whether your gift was large or small, we THANK YOU for your generosity! We suspect Quita, the parrotlet in whose memory the matching funds were provided, is also smiling.
Want to jumpstart your New Year with a gift? Here are the ways:
Our current total is $21,523, almost three-quarters of our $30,000 end-of-year fundraising goal! Your generosity during this Challenge Grant time (ENDS AT MIDNIGHT TODAY!) makes your gift go further than usual, helps you when you file your 2014 income taxes - and helps Mickaboo build a solid foundation as we head into the new year.
