Introducing Baby Bird and Stevie! Baby Bird and Stevie are two of the approximately 300 birds confiscated in mid-October by Santa Barbara County Animal Services. They arrived on Sunday afternoon and are at the vet today. Stevie is almost HoHo’s doppelganger and is also in need of a bit of a scalp lift. Baby Bird isn’t a baby, but that was her (?) name in her shelter records and we stuck with it. Baby Bird has a number of issues that need to be sorted out. She has an almost constant head tic, a left wing injury, pretty extreme mobility issues, and is possibly vision impaired. We’ll know more after her vet visit today. ● PayPal to avianunderdogs@sbcglobal.net ● Venmo: @AvianUnderdogs (6696 is the last 4 digits of our phone #) ● Zelle: 949-584-6696 or avianunderdogs@sbcglobal.net

We’re still drowning in birds that need veterinary care! Thanks to your generous donations, we’re treading water and still afloat, but we have two new additions to the AURA flock at the vet today. The initial care for these two will pretty much wipe out our veterinary funds. We’ll be introducing Baby Bird (conure) and Stevie (pigeon) to you momentarily. If you can donate $10 or more, we would be very grateful. ● PayPal to avianunderdogs@sbcglobal.net ● Venmo: @AvianUnderdogs (6696 is the last 4 digits of our phone #) ● Zelle: 949-584-6696 or avianunderdogs@sbcglobal.net

*** TRANSPORT NEEDED ON MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2 FROM EITHER LAKEWOOD OR SUNSET BEACH ** These two pigeons will need a ride to Lake Forest tomorrow. They will be arriving in Orange County tonight. We won’t know until later today whether they will be going to Lakewood or to Sunset Beach. The white one was found in the SFV, and the gray youngster was a shelter rescue also from the SFV. We’re very grateful to Markelle Lambert and her family for their help in getting birds from the SFV to Orange County and to those of you who help get them the rest of the way to Lake Forest. We appreciate all of you! If you can help with this transport tomorrow, please text or call Terry Whatley 949-584-6696.

** TWO PIGEONS AT PERSHING SQUARE IN DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE. ** LA Pigeon Peeps, can one or more of you please step up and try to catch these pigeons? The person reporting them is a visitor from out of the country with no transportation and is staying in a hotel. I cannot orchestrate this rescue. I have too many emergency situations and critical care birds to take on trying to organize this rescue tonight or even tomorrow. Someone in LA is going to have to. The white one appears to have an injured wing, and the grey one has a bad eye. The person reporting them is quite pigeon savvy and feels both would be easy catches. Let me repeat, I am not able to organize this rescue. Someone else is going to have to. I can put you in touch with the person reporting the pigeons and will text several of you that are near this location to make sure you are aware. AURA can take the birds and may be able to help with transport, but that’s it.
