[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: URGENT NEED TO MOVE SINBAD - PARTIALLY HANDLED
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 26 May '07

26 May '07

Good news! The mother of one of our wonderful volunteers lives in Nevada and is willing to make a 4 hour roundtrip drive from her home to get Sinbad and his cage. She will bring him to California when she comes to visit her daughter early in June. We still need a foster home for this guy.

This is another plea to help Sinbad, the older Red Lored amazon who is in Reno. It seems now he is STUCK in Reno because we don't have a way to bring him closer into the Mickaboo network. If anyone has plans to be in that area soon, please contact me and perhaps we can coordinate his move. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] Salesmanship

At some point in the past, one or more persons have mentioned that they have experience writing promotional materials, advertising, etc. That person (or persons) offered to use their skills to help Mickaboo, if needed. If this is something you have experience doing, could you contact me off-line? Thanks, Michelle

[Mickaboo Action] URGENT NEED TO MOVE SINBAD AND MORE

Hi! This is another plea to help Sinbad, the older Red Lored amazon who is in Reno. It seems now he is STUCK in Reno because we don't have a way to bring him closer into the Mickaboo network. If anyone has plans to be in that area soon, please contact me and perhaps we can coordinate his move. And while I have your attention: once again the pressure rises to find homes for a number of older amazons, who through no fault of their own have worn out their welcome with their families. I don't have any foster homes with vacancies at all. Sinbad - 37 year old Red Lored. Quiet, mellow, needs continued resocialization Chewie - 20+ year old Yellow Nape. Used to be friendly - needs resocialization Pancho - age unknown probably older, Double Yellow. Some health issues being addressed in a hospital setting. Needs resocialization. Need home by next Wed. As you may know amazons can live to be 80 years old and more. Although these birds have had long lives already much of their lives are still ahead. We need to ensure those years are comfortable and healthy and full of good care. Poor little old Sinbad and probably Pancho too will have to go into my garage (think old house, old garage and old caretaker! ) unless there is someone willing to find a place for them in their home. Chewie hasn't been surrendered yet and will not be able to come in without your help. Please help. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

We have a citron cockatoo that desperately needs to get out of her current situation. The husband of his current owner chain smokes and drinks heavily. The owner is concerned that he may harm the bird when he's drunk. (I wish we could rescue the owner too!) The bird is currently in Concord. Could someone get her and bring her somewhere near Berkeley/Oakland? If so, I can take her the rest of the way to her foster home in Sacramento tomorrow morning. -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Another Urgent Amazon Foster Home Needed
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 25 May '07

25 May '07

You may remember the pictures of poor bald Pancho I sent out. We have been waiting desperately for the lab results fearing the worst. The labs are back and the scary disease process we were concerned about is not there. He has a lot of abnormalities in his blood work and will need a change to a very nutritious diet, daily medications for a while and lots of patience from the foster parents. He will require normal quarantine but not isolation. Pancho is not friendly so he will need a skilled handler. Looking at the pictures of this bird you just know somebody was oblivious to his needs. He needs us now and we know it. Will someone please offer to help him on the next phase of his life? Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] Urgent Amazon Foster Home Needed
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 25 May '07

25 May '07

Hi! Sinbad, the raggedy little old Red Lored Amazon, has been living in far off Reno since he was surrendered to our one foster home in that area. However, this foster home also takes in special needs children and according to one baby's doctor bird dander can be dangerous to a little girl with a terminal disease in that home. We must move Sinbad NOW. If I can arrange transport from Reno to somewhere in our network, is anyone willing to help him? Even short term foster placement will help. His story is on the website. Please help. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

Hi there-- We really need some folks to take on some specific (and in some cases very small!) administrative tasks. If you're willing/able to spend even 15 minutes a day on something for Mickaboo, would you let me know? Thanks! --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org
