[Mickaboo Action] Macaw Foster Home Needed
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi All! I did not receive any responses about the need for a foster home for two Blue & Gold Macaws that are in an abusive situation. These birds are friends but do not share a cage. The best of all worlds would be to have a home where both could stay together. The next best thing would be to have two homes, where each could be safe and well cared for. The worst thing would be to tell the owner we can't take them. There is also a cockatoo in this home and we do have a foster home available for this bird. Please help me help these big birds. Thanks.

[Mickaboo Action] Need Help/Yolo County!
by kelsin＠webtv.net 23 May '07

23 May '07

Received a call yesterday (referred by YC Animal Shelter) that a woman off of County Rd 102 (Woodland/Davis) has found a bird on her property and is having trouble catching. She attempted to catch him yesterday but was unsuccessful thinking she was hurting him. She has no cage but I have asked that she try again today as she almost had him toweled at one time. Bird is flying low to the ground and perching in a fig tree. He came down for a few pieces of apple and is making lots of noise. He's of med size (cockatiel size) beautiful blue in color, red beak, yellow eyes. Sounds like a ringneck? I am unavailable to help during the day and currently away from my list of local m/boo members phone numbers so If anyone in the area of Woodland/Davis can be of help please call me today for more information at (916) 371-1564 between 10am-3 otherwise I can be reached at home (916) 372-9171 Thanks!

[Mickaboo Action] We can't afford to stop trying

21 May '07

Hi all! I want to share some pictures of just one bird that Mickaboo is currently helping. When you see them you will know exactly why you are part of this wonderful organization full of people willing to help. Pancho's elderly owner died and the next of kin took him to the Alameda shelter, where because of lots of political and perhaps personal intrigue the shelter refused to release him to Mickaboo. Finally after almost 3 weeks, Pancho was sprung and taken immediately to Holly Street Veterinary Hospital, where he is in isolation pending lab results. Mickaboo is responsible for helping countless birds every day and you should be really proud to be a part. So when Coordinators send out their pleas for foster homes, don't turn away. There are so many birds in dire straits that really need you. These pictures were taken by Katie Franz.

[Mickaboo Action] REALLY REALLY NEED HELP
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 21 May '07

21 May '07

I have spoken with a woman in the past who wanted to surrender a bonded pair of Blue & Gold macaws. Her issue was lack of time since she returned to work. We talked a lot about how she might be able to continue to keep her birds and I think she has been working on it. Very early this morning she called me to say she really needs to move her birds ASAP. In addition to the macaws she has a Citron Cockatoo. These birds are relatively young 6 - 7 years old. The issue is an abusive spouse who drinks and smokes all day in the home and has gambled away all their resources. She is afraid he will burn down the house while she is at work and also is concerned what he might do to the birds when she is not at home. She has moved these three large birds into a back room where they scream. She is also worried about her neighbors complaining. This woman is very concerned for her birds and must move them to a safe place. She can not even leave her abusive spouse for her own safety until she knows her birds are ok. IF ANYONE CAN HELP OR HAS ANY IDEAS, PLEASE CONTACT ME SOON. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] More info about the Dusky
by Ailsa 21 May '07

21 May '07

This was in another email I got about the Dusky. I'm not sure how they know he's a young bird, because even older conures are much like three year olds! :) He would make a great pet for someone that will live as long as he will, since he's so young. He is very much like a three year old. He requires constant attention. He can't be left alone as I believe he would get into a lot of trouble. I was told he doesn't like being ignored and if he is, he screams until he gets attention – unless he is put in another room. He bit me at first, but after being at Kim's house, he warmed up to us. He sat on our shoulders and tried nibbling on our hair and cheeks, ever so gently. At one point, he was on the floor playing under a thin cover with the kids. He walked across the carpet to me and stepped up without biting me. I already have a Cockatiel I adopted in December and I'm still trying to get him out of the cage and train him to step up. It's taki ng a lot of time and work. I cannot take another bird into the house so I was hoping Mickaboo could help find him, at least, a temporary home. The Conure is a great bird and would make someone very, very happy. He would do best with someone who is home most of the time. Sounds like he needs some work to learn to play by himself and to use his "indoor voice" (as I called it when my children were young), but he also sounds like a sweetie. Please do let me know if you can offer a foster home for this little guy. Thanks again, ~ Ailsa

We have an need for a foster home for a Dusky Conure - some kids found the bird while playing in the park about a week ago and are caring for it, but they can't care for it much longer. The bird is apparently rather loud at times, so we'll need a house, not an apartment or condo.
