A coworker has noticed a crow in his backyard since yesterday. He's at home this morning and has noticed the bird is still there.

[Mickaboo Action] REMINDER: Action list guidelines
by AMuse The Sane 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hi all! This is just a quick reminder to please trim "action(a)mickaboo.org" OFF your replies when a message was CCed to all three lists. The folks who joined 'action' prefer to receive less email on a daily basis. One follow-up email to an action request to let people know something has been handled is A-OK, but please try to keep discussions to discuss(a)mickaboo.org Thanks!

Re: [Mickaboo Action] Two important needs.

I could foster Zazu. I am at Dr. Speers like weekly anyway. I have a big conure cage, but I would need to get a few teil cages. I was going to get some on my way to Holly St. Next time I went there, but haven't yet. KAtie >>> Ailsa <hockeyelf(a)gmail.com> 05/23/07 1:38 PM >>> Folks, this bird seriously needs our help - but it's going to take your help for us to be able to do our bit. Zazu is in need of medical care asap and a foster home. This is what her mom posted to an email list this morning: Does anyone live somewhere in California that would like a Nanday Conure. My poor Zazu has picked at the top of her wings so much there are bloody sores. She will not come out of her cage anymore. I really don't know what to do with her. She isnt eating much either. I give her lots of different foods...both commercial and fruits and veggies. Also all kinds of different treats. She doesn't even eat her sunflower seeds which has always been her favorite. I do want someone who will love and care for her, not take her and sell her. But I am afraid for her the way she is going here. I have a new kitten which did try to get her for a couple of weeks, but has been pretty much leaving her alone now. I really don't know what to do with her anymore. When I stick my hand in to get her out she attacks me. Which is not usual. And she wont take a bath anymore either. And that was always a favorite of hers also. Our ability to take in this bird and give her a new start really depends on the two big IFs: IF I can find a way to get her here from Fresno and IF we have a foster home to take her in. Please email me if you can help make those IFs into "Can do"s. If I can't get help with these two needs, we can't help Zazu.

Hi Nancy, If no one else is available I should be able to help out, I am pretty sure Friday is a Dr. appointment free day for me. Kathleen -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Nancy Powell" <nancyp2(a)gmail.com> Hi Everybody-- I'm going to be taking four budgies and a kitty to Sacto on Friday (if everything works out). The budgies are currently in Santa Cruz, the kitty is in San Jose. There's also a tiel in San Jose that needs to end up in Lafayette and 4-6 budgies currently in San Ramon that need to get to San Jose. Sooooo, is there anyone who could get the kitty, four budgies, and a tiel from the South Bay and meet me in the East Bay? I would hand off the 4-6 San Ramon budgies for the return trip to San Jose and take the other budgies, the kitty, and the tiel to their destinations. --N --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Two important needs.

Folks, this bird seriously needs our help - but it's going to take your help for us to be able to do our bit. Zazu is in need of medical care asap and a foster home. This is what her mom posted to an email list this morning: Does anyone live somewhere in California that would like a Nanday Conure. My poor Zazu has picked at the top of her wings so much there are bloody sores. She will not come out of her cage anymore. I really don't know what to do with her. She isnt eating much either. I give her lots of different foods...both commercial and fruits and veggies. Also all kinds of different treats. She doesn't even eat her sunflower seeds which has always been her favorite.

[Mickaboo Action] Foster Homes
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi! I just received a "slew" of responses challenging my comment that I'd had no replies about a foster home for the two B&G macaws. You were right - I did have a reply from a relatively new foster parent named Skip. Skip is one of our most enthusiastic foster parents with a great "can do" attitude. I visited his home recently and was very appreciative of the obvious love and good care he gives the 5 large birds he is responsible for. He offers to help every large bird that comes in. We need more people like Skip. However, the larger birds that come to Mickaboo so often have a history of bad treatment by humans, or have serious health issues, and focused quality caretaking for a few birds becomes much more important than just filling someone's house and garage with needy birds. The Adoption Coordinators have to manage the placements so that the foster family doesn't take in more than they can handle. (This is spoken by me - the poster child for overcommitment to large birds - there are currently 12 amazons and macaws in my bird room.) We can all thank Skip for being willing to do more than his share. Now I need a few more willing to step up. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

You had a volunteer to take them. I forget his name, but he said that he'd take the birds together. I can't find the email, but he said that he had personally experienced domestic violence (witnessing the abuse of his mother) and wanted to take the birds.
