[Mickaboo Action] This week- WEDNESDAY- ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
by Tom 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I have been sick for a couple of days, so I am skipping the Sharks victory tomorrow. ON Wednesday, I believe there is an Amazon leaving my house, some cockatiels gong to Fremont, something going to Pacifica, and a squirrel coming north from SJ- have I forgotten anything? My plan is to hook up with Sue on Tuesday.

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] "expense reimbursement" for mileage
by Nancy Powell 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pamela Lee <pambudgie(a)yahoo.com> Date: Apr 30, 2007 11:45 AM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] "expense reimbursement" for mileage To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org For those who may not know.. the IRS will let you deduct (as part of your 2007 tax return) 14 cents/mile for mileage, if that mileage is related to volunteerism. You would need to keep a log that records your odometer before and after your trip, the date of the trip, and the purpose. The result of multiplying your mileage by the 14 cents/mile goes into the noncash "charitable contribution" part of 1040 Schedule A. Cheers! - Pam __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Mickaboo Action] Home visit in Palo Alto
by Michelle Yesney 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

Hi, Everyone. We have a great candidate for a foster home in Palo Alto, who just needs a home visit to complete the process. Her name is Martha Kudlacik. She hasn't had a pet bird since she was a child, but she has done extensive wildlife rescue at the Palo Alto Wildlife Center and she likes working with birds. This is a FOSTER HOME -- a very valuable volunteer to have join us. She is in ASM and I am attaching her application. Martha works days, but would be happy to have a visit occur in the evenings or on a weekend. Thank you for thinking about this, all of you terrific volunteers! Michelle

Fwd: [Mickaboo Action] Amazon Foster Homes Needed - HANDLED
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 28 Apr '07

28 Apr '07

Ok folk! A little bird person stepped up () and took the challenge. Yeah for Karen Watkin, who has been fostering cockatiels and budgies, but will soon foster a friendly old Amazon whose owner just died. Poncho has only one wing and is pretty raggedy but Karen is going for the gold. To think this would have been the bird we would have had to walk away from at the Alameda Shelter! She is setting a great example. Thanks Karen Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940 _______________________________________________ Action mailing list Action(a)mickaboo.org https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/action

26 Apr '07

Hi Everyone, Does anyone have any cute lovebird pictures that they'd like to contribute? We're going to use them to try to bring in more foster homes. Please email them to me if you do. I've attached a picture that Sarah had sent to me a few years back as an example. Susan

[Mickaboo Action] Since we're all over the topic of SF flock conures today ...
by Ailsa 26 Apr '07

I thought I'd send out a reminder that we're in desperate need of new foster homes for these guys. We have adopted out a few of them lately, but they are coming in faster than we can find adoptors right now! - Ellis and Willow are off their meds and have had their checkups from Dr. Ferguson - they're bonded, so they'd need to move to a new foster home together. - Jasper is a cutie (seriously folks, look at this face: http://mickaboo.org/our-birds/frame1133.html) who came in with the neurological illness. He's already on antibiotics and deworming treatment to kill the parasites that cause the brain damage. - Heather came in with an infected leg that's healing after some serious surgeries that included her dying on the operating table a couple of times! She's a tough cookie though and wasn't about to let death stop her! :) - Grant also came in with the neurological illness, but Jennifer says it's one of the mildest cases of it we've seen. He's also be dewormed to kill off the parasites that cause so much damage in their brains. - And Sutter is still at the vet recovering from surgery to reattach his beak - once he comes home we'd love a long-term foster home for him too! Jennifer, did I miss anyone? ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo! Not just for cockatiels anymore!
