[Mickaboo Action] FOSTER needed for pair of caiques
by Holly Atwood 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Chip and Dale need a foster home! This is a sibling pair of caiques who were originally adopted out by CPC. Unfortunately their adopter just isn't home enough to give them the attention they require anymore. These guys are high energy birds that can be an absolute joy to have around, but they can also get very aggressive pretty quickly especially with people who are afraid of them. If you are interested in fostering them, please let Cathy and I know!

Someone suggested I attach a picture of this cute little bird but because I am technically challenged I don't know how to save a picture from another website to show you. BUT, I can give you a website with all kinds of great info on macaws, including Hahns and a subspecies the Noble. www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww45e.htm CLAUDIA MELTEFF <cmelteff(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote: Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 19:57:06 -0700 (PDT) From: CLAUDIA MELTEFF <cmelteff(a)sbcglobal.net> Subject: Fwd: Foster Home Needed - Little Noble Macaw - SECOND REQUEST To: action(a)mickaboo.org Hey - this little bird will fill your heart but not your living room!!!!

[Mickaboo Action] Mickaboo stuff
by Nancy Powell 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hello Mickabooers-- I just wanted to send out a note because we've had a couple of misunderstandings lately about what belongs to Mickaboo and what "goes with" a bird when they are adopted. Carriers and cages that are used by Mickaboo foster birds need to stay in Mickaboo inventory when a bird is adopted. New bird parents need to buy their own cage, carrier, playstand, et al for their new family member. There are exceptions to this---in some cases surrenderers want the bird's cage to go with him/her to a new adoptive home. If those cases, we generally ask the adopter for a donation for the cage. If you have any questions about what should go with a bird to their new home, please contact me, Bill Kennedy, or the species coordinator. If the equipment in question isn't in short supply, we're happy to pass it along where it's needed. Thanks for your help with this. --Nancy -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Indian Ring Neck I'm trying to help
by SHAUNA HILL 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

There is a young or female IRN that a couple that are friends of mine have after their tenent left the bird with the wife as she was unable to take it with her. The cage is too small and now I see they keep the bird outside on the porch all the time. They put a covering over it at night and use a box of some some to give it shade from the sun. The bird was put outside due to the noise. It's a safe little court yard as they own all the places inside the gated area. But I meantioned to the daughter the worry of racoons/other critters going after it. I feel bad for this little bird. The wife does not want to let go of it according to the daughter. Here's what I was wondering...I printed out some care info on IRN's and wanted to know if any Mickaboo folks have pics of their cage set up for their IRN so I can show them.Sending this to the admin group too so I can see if there is anyway we can take this birdie in if they do relinquish it? Are there any IRN foster homes available?Thanks!- Shauna _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail to go? Get your Hotmail, news, sports and much more!

[Mickaboo Action] Maxwell the 'too needs to take a plane ride!
by Nancy Powell 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

Hi-- Maxwell is getting the royal treatment and will be flown up to a sanctuary in Washington by private plane (thanks to Pat and Marilyn). Do we have a flight-safe carrier available for an M2? We need it for this flight only, so if you have one you could loan out for a couple of days that would definitely work! --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Transport help
by Bill Kennedy 19 Jun '07

19 Jun '07

Hello All, I am writing this to plead with all of you in the hopes that a few of you will be able to help with transporting cages and other equipment. Mainly cages. I used to have the perfect schedule to do much of this myself. I would get off from work at SFO (For those of you who don't know, I am a 20+ year mechanic at United) at 1:30 or 2:30 and be centrally located to do moving jobs up and down the Peninsula, East Bay, South Bay, where ever it was needed. I did this all at my own expense but was very happy to do so. It was and will be again my contribution to Mickaboo. Now, Shannon and I have moved to Davis, CA, for the foreseeable future so that she can attend UC Davis to obtain her law degree. Granted, gas is really starting to hurt us all in the pocketbooks. But we cannot allow this to hamper the work that we all have accomplished for Mickaboo. No matter how many foster and adoptive parents we find, if there is no cage for the birds, it is all for naught. Tom and Nancy cannot do this on there own. I saw where Claudia had volunteered to use her van for some sort of cage move. Of all the hundreds of volunteers we have around here, surely there must be someone who can step into this role. I fear for the future of Mickaboo if this is not resolved soon. If we are to continue to grow and help as many unfortunate birds as we can, we need a person or persons to say "I will do this". Please, Sincerely, Bill Kennedy
