[Mickaboo Action] Last call for Berkeley to SJ trip!
by Nancy Powell 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

We need to get a box of business reply envelopes from Berkeley to San Jose for our Summer Fundraising Drive mailing. They will be ready tomorrow. I don't want anyone to make a special trip, but if you're going in that direction anyway, it would be great if you could transport them! Thanks for considering it! --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] REQUEST - Anyone can do a beak trim?
by Kathleen Franz 08 Aug '07

08 Aug '07

Does anyone know how to do a gentle beak trim? An amazon seems to be in need of a trim on the top and bottom mandible. I don't think this is an emergency type of situation (otherwise I would've asked for a vet visit) so I am just asking around if someone could volunteer their services. :-) If you can do this, please email me off-list. thanks! katie f.

[Mickaboo Action] ESCAPED MACAW IS HOME
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

This story could so easily have ended in tragedy but instead has ended with the Blue & Gold Macaw "Claudette" back safely in her foster home after an escape through an open sliding door. Claudette remained in view of her home perched high in a tree for almost 30 hours. The foster family did everything they could think of or that our volunteers suggested and persistence paid off. A huge thanks from Mercedes to those of you who called, emailed and even came over to her home to help. Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] Cage Safety Issue
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

Hi! Many of us have purchased imported bird cages from HQ Cages, Reliance, Cages4Less, etc., all of which seem to have very similar designs. I currently have 5 large HQ cages and have been very pleased EXCEPT for one area that is a pinch point for toes. The amount of space around the doors on my cages does not give clearance for big bird toes that just might be in the vicinity. I have pinched one of my macaw's toes twice now and almost had an accident with an amazon cage. I wanted to share this observation so if you have these cages for large birds you can beware. Thanks.

Hi! We have a macaw owner who has been providing excellent advice to Mercedes. She had tried to post status to the group and it didn't go through. Here is her report.

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: ABSOLUTE EMERGENCY - PLEASE HELP
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 07 Aug '07

Status: Bird is still out there. Mercedes had a professional tree climber go up about 30 feet to try to net the bird but the macaw flew into another tree. Mercedes can still see her and has done the right things to lure her back. If anyone is near Pleasanton and has time to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help or ideas.
