[Mickaboo Action] Foster Home needed for Meyers
by Lynn Archer 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

A woman with health problems has called Mickaboo because she can no longer take care of her bird. The bird is a 2 year old Meyers Parrot. The bird used to talk but no longer. Because she suffers from migraine headaches, she keeps a cover over the birds cage in the afternoons to stop the bird from screaming. The bird hasn't seen a vet for about 2 years and she does not have the money to get the bird checked. The bird was originally hand fed. If anyone has space for a Meyers even as a temporary measure please let me know. Thanks, Lynn

[Mickaboo Action] Special Mention!
by Nancy Powell 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hello again-- Sorry for the barrage of emails lately, but I guess I'm on a roll! I know I haven't done "Mickaboo Heroes" emails for quite awhile. There are so many, it's a pretty overwhelming task! I do want to tell you about a couple of Mickabooers who have really done an amazing job lately. PAULA WHITNEY - Paula had the brilliant idea of sending out an email to all the people who have adopted from us since we've been up and running with Animal Shelter Manager (our bird/people tracking software) to ask them if they'd be willing to foster. With MATT LINTON'S invaluable help on the technical side of things she made that happen---soup to nuts. She'll have to tell us exactly how many responses she's gotten so far, but I know of three excellent tiel foster homes, a lovebird foster home, and a macaw foster home that we got as a direct result of her appeal. The lovebird had been at For the Birds for weeks waiting for a foster home. The macaw was living in a cage so small s/he couldn't turn around, and we were able to take three tiels off our waiting list for surrender. Such a *huge* thank you to Paula for thinking of this wonderful idea and making it happen. TINA KELLER - Tina is an unsung hero in Mickaboo because she's our Pigeon and Dove Coordinator. She flies under the radar (so to speak!) because we don't officially take in either doves or pigeons. But that doesn't stop Tina from finding homes for these guys when they come our way. In the past few weeks she has placed 31(!) doves and pigeons. She recently coordinated a dove train to Southern California that saw 23 of the cooing guys end up in a great home. But how did they get there, you ask? SUE ST. CLAIR piled 3 cardboard carriers, 4 pet carriers and a small cage with a mom, dad, and an adorable 1 week old baby into her car and headed south. Sue is a new volunteer with Mickaboo, and we are just blown away by her generosity in making this trip. So once again, if you're down and need inspiration, just look around at your fellow Mickaboo volunteers. Huge kudos all around! --Nancy -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] FOSTER HOME NEEDED FOR A VERY FRIENDLY TIEL!!
by Maria Pangelina 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hi All, I hope you are enjoying your weekend! I am picking up Lorenzo the tiel from the Fremont shelter today. This little one is in need of a loving foster home where he will receive lots of attention. I went to visit him the other day at the shelter. He is completely tame and VERY friendly!! He greeted me when I walked up to the cage and began whistling to me. I opened his cage, he stepped right up and hopped onto my shoulder....he was very obviously someones pet. If you can help out and provide a foster home for this little sweetie please contact me offline.....I'd really appreciate it :) Thanks so much for considering it!! Maria Pangelina
