Can anyone pick up a budgie in Santa Rosa and take it to a vet appointment in Petaluma? The appointment is not made yet, first we need to know we have transport. Thanks, Maggie "...to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!" - Emerson

[Mickaboo Action] Hahn's Macaw
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 09 May '07

09 May '07

Recently I posted information about a Hahn's macaw, the smallest of the mini-macaws. This mini is Buddy, 6 years old, who life circumstances and position in the family hierarchy have changed and he is unhappy. His family waited months before making the surrender decision, worked with a behaviorist and more to find a solution but the time has come to find him a foster home. If anyone has room for a little cutie who could use some special attention, please let me know. You can read his story on the website. Thanks.

[Mickaboo Action] Aviary tiels
by Bill Kennedy 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hello All, There is an opportunity to get some less than tame cockatiels into an aviary in Salinas. The plan at first was to move about 6-8 tiels. As it turns out there are only 3 that are available right now. One, Roo, that Shannon and I have fostered for quite some time and 2, Majesty and Jonathan Livingston Cockatiel (JLC), that Sue Walters has. There may or may not be 2 known only as the 2 Amigos that no one seems to know anything about and 1 or 2 that Connie in San Fran has but Connie is not available right now. Is anyone fostering tiels that fit the description of wild? I plan to drive to Sacramento this coming Monday May 14th to bring Sues 2 guys down. I will be leaving SFO at 9 am for the drive up there. I am meeting the aviary owner at my house Monday evening around 8. It would be great if we could have 4 or 5 more tiels for this. Any possible candidates should have already finished their quarantine and be in good health. I shouldn't ask (LOL) but are there any other birds or equipment that needs to go up that way?

[Mickaboo Action] May 20th class - replacement teacher needed!
by Ailsa 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hi all ~ I sent a plea to the admins list yesterday about needing a replacement teacher for the May 20th class at FOLT because I have a conflict since my daughter has a vaulting competition that day and our club is hosting it. I had no offers to help, so I'm sending this one to the action list too. I *really* can't teach it this month, I left the last vaulting event in my mother's hands in order to go to the class to facilitate an adoption and this time Mum's already helping out in addition to the jobs I need to do at the competition. I'm sorry I screwed up on this and didn't realize the conflict sooner, but I'm really hoping someone will be able to teach it in my place this month. I'd be happy to go over the class outline before the 20th for anyone who thinks they'd like to teach the class but aren't sure what's involved. It's really not hard to do! If noone else can teach it, then the only option I see is canceling the class and hoping we get the word out to everyone so they don't show up at FOLT. I'm really sorry for the snafu! Please let me know if you can help out! ~ Ailsa

[Mickaboo Action] Could someone pick up a cage in SJ?
by Nancy Powell 08 May '07

08 May '07

Since it's a tiel cage, I don't think it will require a truck. Short term storage would be great as well until we can figure out who needs it/where to put it. Thanks for considering! --Nancy ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Holly Atwood <sebastianperegryn(a)gmail.com> Date: Apr 29, 2007 4:54 PM Subject: Fwd: Cage to donate To: nancy powell <Nancy(a)mickaboo.com>, Bill <wekenn(a)gmail.com> This person adopted the cockatiel from us and the cage is a nice powdercoated cage. I believe she lives right off of 17 and 85, near San Jose. I told her somone would be contacting her shortly about picking up the cage. I saw the cage about 6 months ago and it's a nice nice for a tiel or pair of tiels and in good condition. Holly ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kim Ladin <kim(a)riotbrrd.com> Date: Apr 28, 2007 7:04 PM Subject: Cage to donate To: sebastianperegryn(a)gmail.com Hi Holly, I'm afraid my poor little girl cockatiel Calvin passed away recently. She became egg bound and went pretty quickly, despite everything the emergency vet could do. :-( Anyway, I'd like to donate her big lovely cage to Mickaboo if you guys could use it. Just let me know... -Kim Ladin -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] temporary foster of a lovebird
by Bunniesnbirds 07 May '07

07 May '07

Hi Everyone, We had to take in a lovebird from the dreaded Martinez shelter (I was told that they euthanize birds). I have a foster home waiting for him but they can't take him in for another two weeks. Can anyone temporarily foster him until he can go to his new foster home? Susan

[Mickaboo Action] You-Tubes of Parrots Talking??
by Robbie4 05 May '07

05 May '07

Hello All ~ Yesterday I did a presentation for the local Girl Scout Troop about Mickaboo... who we are and what we do. The girls are going to have a toy-making party for us. YAY! Anyhow, one of the girls commented that she wanted to see / hear a parrot talk, and I know I've seen lots of You-Tubes of talented parrots, but I sure can't find them now. You know, like the ones that go on Pet Stars and all that. Does anybody have some links that I can send to the Girl Scouts? Thanks in advance! Robbie
