Peter got his start as a movie star.

Well, okay, not a movie star per se, but his flock was featured in a popular documentary released across the nation the same year Peter was born. Once he left his nest high above the vogue commerce of San Francisco, Peter spent the first few weeks of his fascinating life soaring through the salty air with the other red-masked birds in his flock.   View PDF in new window

Sometimes a seed takes time to take root and grow after being planted - but when it does, it sprouts into something very strong and vibrant. That’s similar to how our latest featured volunteer’s role came to grow within Mickaboo.   View PDF in new window

Let’s take a trip in time. Back to when you were 11 years old. Close your eyes and think of what you were doing. Very few of us were able to look outside ourselves.

Rescues get lots of E-mails like this one I received about Snow.

Good morning. I got your email address from Jane and am contacting you because I rescued what I think may be a King Pigeon. I was wondering if you had room to take in one more bird?

Aron was like many bird owners who loved having birds while growing up (parakeets, in fact).  She now had one cockatiel, Charlie, which she had purchased from a breeder when the bird was only 2 months old.
