In this newsletter I want to introduce you to a couple of awesome volunteers, Chloe Redon and John Graziano, who started by helping with the technology side of Mickaboo, and ended up helping with the sick/injured members of the wild conure flocks of San Francisco, made famous by the book and movie “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill”. They have really helped Mickaboo expand its website, and their work with the wild conures has helped many of these magnificent birds. They also created and delivered advanced education classes to help our volunteers care for the many birds under Mickaboo’s wing. View PDF in a new window

Here we share a few of your stories, illustrating some of what your support of Mickaboo, a wholly volunteer-run organization, allows us to do. View PDF in a new window

Mickaboo has several events intended to involve its supporters in our common cause of helping our beautiful and intelligent feathered friends. Save these dates on your calendar: View PDF in a new window
