Hello-

Is there anyone in Northern CA for that can take this bird on? I can't and don't have any available fosters in MickaCoo. We're all full up.

Hi Elizabeth,

The king has an injured leg and we have run out of time. Last ditch effort, can anyone take him?

Staycee

If so, please contact me directly ASAP at [email protected].

Just bumping up. Wish I could keep him, but I'm SO far away! I hope and pray someone steps in.

Handled

A Mickaboo volunteer has stepped up to take on her first foster pigeon and another is working on getting him a ride from the shelter to the vet right now.

Teresa- thank you for caring all the way across the world.

 

[Teresa]

Oh, that's brilliant!
Thank you for letting me know!

Peppermint

Here's the bird named Peppermint by the volunteer who transported him to a vet. No info yet regarding his injury. He's just a baby as you can see by that face. Why people draw on and dye birds is beyond me. There's a dove in an SF shelter that someone drew on with a pink magic marker.

 

[Teresa]

He's lovely! I'm so glad that little fellow found a friend for life!

People who draw on pigeons should have 'I'm an idiot' written right across their foreheads!

I'll vote that it should be a tattoo. That's just a little biddy baby (like barely 4wks maybe a little younger).

I'm so glad this little one found the help needed.

I will say that there ARE fanciers who "paint" or mark their birds with bird safe colors .. I've posted many a picture and video of them here .. these are Spanish Thief Pouters .. it's done for a reason and doesn't harm the birds. The SF Kings that I have right now have all also been marked .. very strange ..

Why some idiot is marking these Kings is beyond me .. bless all of you who are helping these lovely and big babies .. my heart goes out to both the rescuers and the birds.
