[Mickaboo Action] A VERY SPECIAL MACAW
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

Hi! It seems that most of my emails are always desperate. This one is about something fun. In the Toys R Us advertiser in Sunday's paper, there were a lot of hot new toys advertised for Christmas. One of them is a SINGING/TALKING Blue & Gold Macaw. "Squawkers McCaw - totally unpredictable bird has plenty of attitude. You can train him to speak over 45 words and songs, too!" Ages 5-up. About $35! If you have ever wanted a macaw, this one's for you. No big cage, no big poop, no big mess, no vet bills, no groomer, and so on. SO - if I'm on your Christmas list you know what I want. We often get people who want a cuddly macaw to snuggle with and this is just the ticket. Check it out! Regards, Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

by Maria Pangelina 30 Oct '07

Hi All, As you all probably know by now, Maria C. lost her home and several pets, including her entire flock in a house fire. I am collecting donations to send to her to help her out with all the expenses she will incur due to this terrible tragedy. If you would like to donate you can mail a check to me (email for my address) or donate to my PayPal account at: mariapangelina(a)sbcglobal.net. I'd like to collect donations for about a week or so, total it up and send it to Maria C. I will let everyone know the total collected before I send our donation. Anything you can give will help. There is no donation too small! Thank you for your kindness, -- Maria Pangelina Cockatiel Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

Hi! Its time for a macaw cage roundup . If you have an empty Mickaboo macaw cage sitting around waiting for an occupant please let me know immediately. We took in a Greenwing macaw with a broken wing and as soon as the bird is released from the vet need to have a cage in place in the Sacto foster home. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Do we have anyone that could pick up a cage donation in Danville please? According to the owner, it's a very nice Kings cage measured 67"Hx24"Wx23"D. It sounds like it has a playtop since she mentioned she has to take the stand off to get it downstairs. Cathy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: sheri_borden(a)comcast.net <sheri_borden(a)comcast.net> Date: Oct 19, 2007 4:11 PM Subject: donation To: mail(a)mickaboo.org I recently lost a bird that I have had for over 15 years and have a large Kings cage I paid over 500.00 for a few years back. Would this be something that your organization would be interested in? I still have a parrot and cockatiel but plan on getting them a large side by side cage so they don't get lonely. If interested you can call my cell at 925-360-3209 or email me here.

by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 29 Oct '07

Hi! Several of you offered to provide toys or chunks of wood for the Papilloma positive macaws in Sacramento. One volunteer has some wood ready to go to these birds. If you will be passing through Berkeley on your way to Sacramento any time soon and would be willing to pick up a bag of wood chews it would be a big treat for the birds and their mom. Please contact me directly for details. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940
