I had the pleasure of spending my Saturday with MickaCoo volunteers Lisa and Faye at the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society’s Wildlife Education Day in Cupertino. Together, with the help of ambassador pigeons Amelio, Dylan and Pat and Ringneck dove Gem, we made a couple hundred new friends for the birds.

Pigeons are the wildlife most people see most often and yet they are very misunderstood. Most of what people think they know about pigeons is actually wrong! (They aren’t dirty, they don’t spread disease, they don’t displace native birds, they ARE intelligent, emotional, loyal, amazing!) And the domestic (unreleasable) pigeons make great pets! Would you like to volunteer and help MickaCoo create compassion for these birds? We need your help (volunteer application)! Click on photos to see full size.
