[Mickaboo Action] Re: on word on the eagle
by magwhls＠comcast.net 12 Apr '07

I just returned from an IPM meeting in San Francisco and USFWS Agent Al Colby was there. I asked him about his visit to the property. He told me the man has a license, and the bird is in an aviary on a tether - it's tethered to a perch. This is what falconry allows. If you go to the Lindsay Wildlife Museum in Walnut Creek you will see birds of prey on short tethers on display for your viewing. I went there once and never went back as I did not agree with that sort of display of the birds. Sickening as it may be that falconry exists, and allows for taking a magnicificant bird out of the wild to live in a cage, if could very well be that this creep is in compliance. The agent told me there are only about 8 permits for golden eagles in the US! There should be none as far as I'm concerned. I continue to encourage notification to the person who's info I sent out at Fish and Game and also to local animal control, knowing that animal control in any kind of rural county usually sucks, in my book, and does little about such situations.

[Mickaboo Action] on word on the eagle - UPDATE

I just received this email from the woman who reported the eagle in distress in Morgan Hill. It looks like we here at Mickaboo need to take some further steps. Robbie To: Robbie4 <robbie4(a)sbcglobal.net> Subject: RE: on word on the eagle Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 02:03:19 +0000 P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body { FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY:Tahoma } Hi Robbie Al called today and said he visted the property. Consequently, the man is within the federal guidelines. He mentioned that state level might be more restrictive. I feel like this is as far as I can pursue this matter without further conflict. If you or anyone else would like to pursue this matter you may. The man is running the ad in the paper as you know. Therefor, anyone can set up an appointment, to evaluate the circumstances. Thank you for all your cooperation/input. Please don't think I don't care, but I don't have the jurisdiction on such matters. --------------------------------- Nicole --------------------------------- Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2007 08:42:44 -0700 From: robbie4(a)sbcglobal.net Subject: on word on the eagle Hi Nicole ~ Just checking in to see if you heard back from "Al" at Fish and Game about the eagle in Morgan Hill?

[Mickaboo Action] 2 lovebirds need a foster home
by Susan Zizumbo 10 Apr '07

10 Apr '07

Hi, We have two lovebirds at the Scott's Valley Shelter who need to get out of there. They are part of the confiscation of several birds that were in a motel with a family (some birds were found dead). This was an abuse case. We want to get them out because we're concerned that the family may try to get them back via friends adopting them out from the shelter. If anyone can help, please contact me offlist. Thanks, Susan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR INFORMATION ON YOUR MAILING LIST PROFILE, CLICK HERE: https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/admins/

[Mickaboo Action] Transportation of finches and canaries needed asap!
by Susan Mini 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Hello everyone, Is there anyone available to help transport 4 finches and 3 canaries from the Scotts Valley Shelter in Santa Cruz county to San Jose or father north towards Redwood City? These 7 birds are from the recent bird confiscation in Santa Cruz county. We really want to get these guys out of the shelter ASAP and to Tammy Doukas, as the shelter told us that they would "hold" these birds for us, but now they seem to not want to keep them there any longer. If anyone is able to help with this urgent transport, please e-mail me off list. Thank you so much for all of your help!

[Mickaboo Action] CONTACTS IN MODESTO AREA - URGENT
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Hi! Mickaboo received a desperate plea TODAY from a woman with 4 large birds (2 macaws and 2 amazons) who will be HOMELESS this coming TUESDAY. Evidently she has been unemployed for a while, although looking for work, and is now faced with losing her apartment and will be out in the streets. She wants someone to provide care for her birds even if it means surrendering them. (I already said Why Did She Wait So Long?????) You have seen my pleas all weekend and I can not offer her any help. DOES ANYONE KNOW A POSSIBLE SHORT TERM SOLUTION IN THE MODESTO AREA? I have already checked and there appear to be no rescues in that area. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks.
