[Mickaboo Action] Transfer of Donated Items
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi! We have a volunteer who is donating a macaw cage and air filter for Max, the Papilloma positive macaw. Max lives in Sacramento and Anjanette our volunteer lives in Fremont. The cage is not too large - approx 3'x2'x4' but will need to be moved in a truck. If anyone is able to help get these items to Max please contact me directly. Thanks again to everyone who has offered pine cones, wood chunks, toys, and more. You are the greatest! Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

Thank you Elizabeth for taking this little guy in, and to Linda Hartwig and Mary Long for offering to collect him. And to Maria Couragee for offering to foster him also!

[Mickaboo Action] Thanks

As always our needs are met by the generosity of this great group! We have folk with pine cones and ready to cut and drill soft wood. We have someone who has asked for toy donations from a company that looks like they will help. We have someone who might have both a cage and HEPA filter. However, if you have any of cages or filters and are looking for a year end tax event, don't forget about Mickaboo. We have a lot of crummy macaw cages that need replacements and foster parents who could use an air filter and the list goes on. Thanks again for being there.

[Mickaboo Action] AIR FILTRATION - Donation Request
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi All! We have a terrific new adopter, Shelley Buttler, in the Sacramento area who has adopted two special needs macaws - Rico and Max. Both of these birds are infected with the Papilloma virus and Shelley was willing to add them to her home to be company to her macaw with the same virus. Taking on big birds with a serious and contagious medical problem requires a huge commitment to ongoing veterinary care and high standards in diet and hygiene. In addition to Papilloma, Max suffers from chronic Pneumonitis affecting his respiratory system and heart. I am hoping someone might be willing to donate a good HEPA air filtration system for Max. We are also looking for destructible toys for these three big macaws - so if anyone can provide chunks of clean safe wood with a large hole drilled through for hanging, this will be an enormous help. Pine cones would be good too. And while I'm asking, does anyone have a big sturdy macaw cage they would like to donate to Mickaboo that could be used for Max? I want to also recognize Kelly Sinn, who was the foster mom for both Rico and Max and Sonny, a conure with Papilloma. Without people like Kelly and Shelley and all the rest of you, these wonderful birds wouldn't stand a chance. If you can help, please let me know and I'll coordinate the process. Thanks in advance for your help. Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940
