[Mickaboo Action] Budgie Sitter Needed Please
by Maria Pangelina 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi Everyone, I will be out of town from Sept. 19-22, 07 and am in need of a place for my budgie boys, Oscar & Calvin, to hang out during that time. I have someone coming in to feed the rest of my flock and my dogs but Calvin is on a once a day oral med and I would like for Oscar & Calvin to be able to stay with someone who is comfortable with giving meds. Calvin & Oscar will come in a travel cage with their food. Calvin would just need his Metacam once per day. They are good little boys who are sure to keep you entertained with their sweet budgie talk. I am in Fremont and would like to drop them off on Sept. 18 and pick them up on Sept. 23. If you can provide a hangout for my boys I would greatly appreciate it!! Thank you so much for your consideration, -- Maria Pangelina Cockatiel Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Eclectus in a shelter needs a foster home!
by Nancy Powell 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi there-- Sherry Helms, our Eclectus Coordinator, is out of town so I'm posting this for her. We'd love to get Carmen out of the Dublin shelter. Just as an FYI, we've often found that birds described as "aggressive" in shelters, aren't the least bit aggressive once they're out of that *very* stressful environment! ***************************************************************************************************** "We got a call in from the Dublin shelter that has a stray female Eclectus. They think her name is "Coreman" or "Carmen" because she says "Good Morning____!" and makes a really loud coughing noise (previous owner must of had emphysema!). Renee at the shelter says that "Carmen" has been at the shelter for 30 days, but no one has claimed her. She was found in a tree at Lake Chabot in Castro Valley. She is plucked (was like this when she came in) but seems healthy and is eating well. Renee says she is not the friendliest bird and is cage aggressive. Renee has to towel her to get her out of the cage and once out, she will sit on Renee's hand for a minute or so. She is perch trained and will step up on a perch. Renee said she seems to prefer men." Thanks for considering it! --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: Blue & Gold Macaw ON DEATH ROW? TEMPORARILY HANDLED
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 30 Aug '07

30 Aug '07

Thanks to Tom McMasters-Stone, who has a truck with a macaw carrier, an empty macaw cage, a generous heart AND a very understanding wife, he will get the macaw from the shelter on Saturday and foster for a few days. That means, though I still need a longer term foster home. Thanks to all of you who responded with offers to transport even though you might not have room for a large cage, and those who said they would move things around to try to squeeze a cage in for a few days, and more. You have a great CAN DO spirit and these big birds deserve our every effort.

To: action(a)mickaboo.org Recently I sent a note about a Blue & Gold macaw being held in one of the local shelters not known for quality care or humane treatment. We have been advised today that they will give us the bird but it has to be moved before close of business on Saturday. This shelter is known for euthanizing unwanted parrots and our Shelter Coordinator is very anxious that we move this bird NOW. This bird was dropped off in the after hours kennel, is fearful and exhibits some plucking. The bird is also relatively quiet. Please contact me ASAP if you can help with this bird.
