[Mickaboo Action] Huggy The Macaw
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi! We have almost survived the current Macaw Madness but not quite. Huggy, a 16 year old Blue & Gold, doesn't have a foster home yet although I was able to find temporary places for his two house mates. This is the bird whose owner died last week and his mom is selling her house and moving out this weekend. She needs the birds gone soon so they can start major cleaning for open house. Shorty and Sarge are leaving this week. Is there anyone who will take Huggy? I have contacted the Peninsula Humane Society in San Mateo and persuaded them to take him HOWEVER we have to take one of their big birds so they can have room for Huggy's cage. So far that hasn't happened either. If anyone is able to provide short term housing for Huggy I would be so relieved. I just don't want to fail Huggy or his bereaved family, who is extremely grateful for Mickaboo's help right now. Please . . . .

[Mickaboo Action] Foster home for a Green Cheek Conure?
by Ailsa 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

Hi folks ~ We may have a Green Cheek Conure coming into the Mickaboo system on Friday. Deb M-K told me this about him: The conure is a GCC whose feathers have that very plucked look, but the problem extends to the top portion of his head. Very friendly little guy, not clipped, found as a stray in El Sobrante. The officer coaxed him out of a woman's yard with a cracker. If any of you would like to foster this little guy, please let me know! It would be great to know we have a place lined up for him! ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo! Not just for cockatiels anymore!

[Mickaboo Action] The parade of sick of budgies
by Michelle Yesney 30 Jan '07

30 Jan '07

All, We are indeed being inundated with budgies that are not at their best. Susan Z has kindly offered to foster the two sickly little guys coming out of the local shelters here, but we have an ill budgie that I expect to come over the hill from Watsonville later this week, and the little boy with face mites (posted about previously) that needs to leave the hospital and go into a foster home. In addition, I think a sick budgie is on his way to Roseville B&P via Tom Transport and he will also need a foster home. The urgent need here is someone with quarantine space. Once these little birds are well and out of quarantine, it will be a little easier to find them a longer term foster home. Thank you for even considering this. Michelle

To: mail(a)mickaboo.org Hi: Pet Planet is going out of business. The owner is ill and must close her store quickly and she has a number of used cages for sale from $5.00 to $20.00. There are other cages available also but I thought your organization might be interested in these because the prices are so low. For The Birds suggested I contact you.

[Mickaboo Action] LARGE CAGES AND CARRIERS AND BIRDS - HELP PLEASE
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 29 Jan '07

29 Jan '07

Hi! The Bermuda Triangle has moved into Northern California and sucked up all the new macaw cages and large foldable plastic carriers. If you know where any of these items are please let me know. These are Mickaboo property and need to be accessible to the whole organization. I have to move three macaws this week and don't have carriers for any of them nor do we have cages for two. OH AND BY THE WAY, I am still looking for several macaw foster homes. (I'm not yelling with the caps - just being dramatic!) Huggy, a Blue & Gold macaw, and Sarge, a Military macaw, need to relocate before the end of the week to a new home. And these guys, who just lost their dad and their mom doesn't want them anymore, are about to be homeless by next weekend. PLEASE CONTACT ME OFF LIST IF YOU HAVE A MACAW CAGE, CARRIER, OR ROOM FOR A BIG BIRD. Thanks Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940
