In 2009, I received an email seeking help. It said, “I’m trying to find a loving home for Dovee, a white pigeon I have in my bathtub in Pacifica, CA.” And that is how the story of Cheryl and SUPER Dovee began.
Cheryl was new to birds but a lover of animals and she was determined to help this stray King pigeon that had been hanging around a neighborhood shopping center. She had initially found him a home but he had been returned and needed another. MickaCoo Pigeon & Dove Rescue was full up and the best we could offer at the time was coaching about how to care for him and a spot on our waiting list.
Cheryl was a quick study and took wonderful care of Dovee while he waited for an opening with MickaCoo. Cheryl began volunteering with us at outreach events all over the Bay Area, helping to inspire support for these smart, gentle birds that are so under-served and overlooked. And she continued to foster Dovee until the day someone inquired about adopting him- that’s when she realized that Dovee was already home- with her, and on October 4th, 2009, Cheryl officially adopted Dovee.
I call Dovee “SUPER Dovee” not because he is so special and charismatic (which he is) nor because he looks so good in his SUPER Dovee Pigeon Pants, complete with cape (which he does) but because he brought with him Cheryl- an incredibly amazing supporter for MickaCoo. Cheryl has invested thousands of hours of her time as a volunteer these past four years and donated thousands of dollars. She has lovingly fostered more than 100 pigeons and doves in her five-star aviary and bird room. Cheryl has introduced thousands of event-goers to the plight and potential of these birds; logged thousands of miles on the road; donated nearly a ton of pigeon feed and hosted five $1K Garage Sale Fundraisers for MickaCoo. Cheryl has braved heartbreaking rescues including saving homing pigeons used for testing in a university lab and 216 Persian High Flyers abandoned in filthy sheds. Cheryl serves as the Chair of MickaCoo’s Advisory Committee and our Financial Coordinator and inspires all of us every day with her big, strong heart.

In movies, T. rex always has a ferocious roar. Did it in real life too? No one knows for sure. But scientists can study the closest living relatives of T. rex , crocodiles and birds, for clues. And a giant animal like T. rex would have made lower-pitched sounds than smaller animals. So scientists study large living animals for clues too!
Lions have the loudest roar of all the big cats. The roar is so loud it can be heard up to 5 miles away and reaches 114 decibels (at a distance of around one meter). To put that into perspective, the human pain threshold is at around 110 decibels. So, standing too close to a roaring lion could not only send shivers down your spine but also be physically painful.
Roar is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language adventure thriller film written and directed by Kamal Sadanah. The film premiered at an event in Mumbai on 31 July 2014, ahead of its 31 October release. It follows the epic tale of a team trying to outsmart the acute senses of the infamous white tiger who is looking for her cub.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
I am planning to get one of these Create Your Own Dolls. I need help deciding on which one. l always wanted a light skin Addy mold, but I also love the pink hair with the classic face mold too! I am so happy they added the holiday dress since I was going to buy it and it helps me justify the cost 😆
Gone are the days when visiting a café was only restricted to a cup of coffee and conversations. Thanks to the growing popularity of the gig economy and ‘café culture’; a visit to a coffee house goes beyond leisure reasons today. Now, people sitting at a work-friendly coffee shop with their laptops is a fairly common sight.

Fruits are the means by which flowering plants (also known as angiosperms) disseminate their seeds. Edible fruits in particular have long propagated using the movements of humans and other animals in a symbiotic relationship that is the means for seed dispersal for the one group and nutrition for the other; humans and many other animals have become dependent on fruits as a source of food.[1] Consequently, fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.
