Hello, I will have the car back today at 5-6 pm. That will mean I can pickup deebee Friday in the morning. I also have an empty cage for the new guy. Please do not turn him away, I have room.

[Mickaboo Action] Amazon Foster Homes Needed - REALLY URGENT
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 26 Apr '07

26 Apr '07

Hi! If I were on the receiving end of these messages I'd probably be getting annoyed about this time . Please don't! Please read on! There is the possibility of an amazon in a local shelter who will need to be bailed out. Unless we can find a foster home this will be the first time I will have to turn away an amazon from Mickaboo. We have a few good sized cages now and could probably get things set up very quickly if someone would just open their front door and say "Welcome!". Thanks for considering this.

I have a pic of Parker from the WPTH flock taken Monday. Should I post it here so you can see the beak and his size? Sue -- Sue St Clair

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: Big Bird Opportunities - UPDATE

The two macaws from So. California are going to a rescue in Vancouver, Canada. Still need help with the other opportunities.

It has been a few days since I've asked for anything so here I am. We have the possibility of an amazon (species unknown at this time) returning to Mickaboo from his/her adoptive home very soon. From the owner's viewpoint this is a difficult and unfriendly bird. Often though a change of environment can make a world of difference. Would anyone be willing to short term foster this bird until we are able to assess its true temperament? The bird is located closer to Sacto than SF so a foster home in that area would be appreciated. This is a big WHAT IF. We have been approached by a Southern California surrenderer to take two large macaws - a Miligold (Military/Blue & Gold hybrid) and a Scarlet. The distance may make it impossible to arrange a transfer but if the birds could be driven to Northern California is there anyone who would foster these guys? Here is another big bird opportunity: I have begun working with a family who is surrendering a 10 year old Greenwing Macaw named "Chuckles". It is our intention to have this wonderful friendly gorgeous big guy adopted into a home with another large macaw and where large indoor and outdoor aviary activity areas are in place. This bird is fully flighted and used to some opportunities to use those big wings. The owners will foster until an adopter is selected. Large macaw experience required for this adoption. If any of these opportunities sound of interest please contact me soonest. Thanks.
