[Mickaboo Action] FOSTER HOME NEEDED - Rico (Orange Wing Amazon)
by Kathleen Franz 06 Aug '07

06 Aug '07

Hello Everyone, Some may have heard the "adventure" Claudia, my husband, Dina and I went through yesterday, but to make a long story short, we had to remove 4 birds from a former foster family home due to bad circumstances which had escalated during the past 3 months. With having removed 4 birds, we are left to place them all. DeeBee (a special needs bird) has been placed into the experienced hands of Louisa. Mac (a blue front amazon) has been placed with me into my last quarantine space). Rico (OWA) and Howard (Eclectus) are currently being housed in Claudia's garage for the time being. Howard will probably be replaced with the help of Sherry (the Eclectus Coordinator), but we would like to move Rico out of the garage and into a better foster home placement. Is there anyone willing to foster this 30+ year old cutie for us? Claudia has reported that he is, so far, a very quiet bird. Orange Wing Amazons are smaller in size compared to other amazons (yellow nape and double yellow head). Rico is rather shy and will need a calm personality to help him bloom. If anyone is interested in helping me find a better foster home placement for Rico, please email me off list. Thanks for your consideration. PS: MANY thanks to everyone involved - the people I called for help, and the people who called me to offer their support! It was because of all of you, this incident was solved as smooth as possible and all birds are safe. Thank you! Thank you!!! Regards, Kathleen Franz Mickaboo Amazon Coordinator www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Matt-Please do not read!!
by Susan Zizumbo 05 Aug '07

Hi All, Several volunteers thought that it would be a nice idea to get Matt and Jen a gift for their new daughter since Matt does so much for Mickaboo. Since there are so many of us and I don't know who all knows Matt, the best way to reach out to everyone is to send an email via the admin and discuss group to see if people would like to send donations towards a gift. I have volunteered to collect the donations and get them something where they are registered. A simple $5 donation (or even less) could get Odelle a really nice gift. If you'd like to donate, email me privately and I'll give you an address to send your donation to. Thanks! Susan

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: Two Military Macaws - URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED - 2ND REQUEST

Hi! This one is so hot its smoking! Can anyone help this frantic man? CLAUDIA MELTEFF <cmelteff(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote: Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 10:42:23 -0700 (PDT) From: CLAUDIA MELTEFF <cmelteff(a)sbcglobal.net> Subject: Two Military Macaws - URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED To: action(a)mickaboo.org Good morning! I spoke with an individual this morning who has two bonded M&F 25 year old Military Macaws. The owner had a recent serious heart attack and his general health is so unstable he is no longer able to care for the birds. He is fearful that he might die leaving his birds to starve in their cage. I explained our current suspended intake and lack of foster home availability for the big birds. I offered some other options but he is physically and emotionally exhausted by his illness and concern for his birds and seems too stressed to do anything but choke and cry. Mickaboo has agreed to take these birds if I can find a foster home. The birds live in a single cage which is being donated along with the birds. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE if you have space for a large macaw cage and are able to care for the birds and give this man peace of mind, contact me off line. If your heart is touched by this story like mine was I hope to hear from you. Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

Ok, thanks. Surgery is on August 15th so say starting either that day or the 14th. Kathleen -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Nancy Powell" <nancyp2(a)gmail.com> I really don't mind doing the "class" emails. Just let me know when you need me!

Nancy had said she would take over but I wanted to see if someone else would be willing to help out. The most time I've spent on responding to email's in a day was 10-15 minutes and that is normally when I'm sending out reminders to the folks that have signed up. Thanks! Also, Maria had sent out an email on my behalf to see if anyone could take care of Pearl the cockatiel for about a month. I've asked Maria to put her up on the adoption list so that is someone can foster her maybe it won't be a month. If at the end of this time period she hasn't been adopted I will pick her back up. She had been at Holly Street and when I picked her up from Dr. F I actually paid to have all of her blood work done so I'm sure she is healthy but I've actually still got her in quarantine. I'm attaching photos so you can see how cute she is, please let me know if you have any questions.
