[Mickaboo Action] FOSTER HOME NEEDED FOR MINI-MACAW
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

Hi! We have an opportunity to help a college student who recently acquired a young Yellow Collar Mini-Macaw named Ginsberg. A former roommate of this young man had a series of birds he kept in his garage that received infrequent food or water and several of them died. When this young man moved he took Ginsberg to prevent him from suffering the same fate. He doesn't know much about birds but knows enough to get the wings clipped and feed him on a daily basis. The current owner works full time and is just about to return to school so moving Ginsberg soon is imperative. Bird is in a San Francisco location. Please help Ginsberg, who appears young and needs someone to help him on the road to a good healthy life. Contact me off list please. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] Reminder: Temp conure coordinator needed!
by Ailsa 26 Jul '07

26 Jul '07

I haven't had any offers to help on this. I know we're all swamped and conures tend to make many people want to run away screaming - but honest, you wouldn't even have to see a conure in person, no fostering required! If noone else offers to help out, Nancy Powell has said she will take it on - but we really don't want to add anything more to Nancy's plate, trust me on this. We need her focused on what she already has *heaped* way way WAY up on that plate. Besides, if she gets too overloaded while I'm in the southwest in August, she may forcibly stop me from going to France in October, and that could get Really Ugly. ;) It really shouldn't be too big a deal, but it does need coverage, and I will be available by cell phone during most of the August trip for any real hiccups. Please? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? ~ Ailsa ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ailsa <hockeyelf(a)gmail.com> Date: Jul 24, 2007 12:51 PM Subject: Temp conure coordinator needed! To: ADMINS Mickaboo <admins(a)mickaboo.org>, Action Group <action(a)mickaboo.org > Two weeks from tomorrow I'll be on vacation for 12 days. I may well not have any access to email during that time, but even if I do have access it will be sporatic at best. So I need someone to stand in for me, follow through on any potential adoptions I have pending at that time, and respond to emails sent to the conure coordinator (if only to say "If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911. If you need to talk to the conure coordinator, she is on vacation and will be back on August 20th. Please leave a message at the tone.") Anyone available to help out with this please? I'd like to get someone lined up so I can get that person up to speed before I go. Thanks, ~ Ailsa P.S. I will also be gone from October 5-28th, and will need someone to stand in for me then too because I *definitely* won't be getting emails regularly then- I'll be in France!

[Mickaboo Action] Foster Home Needed - Two amazons
by Kathleen Franz 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Hello Everyone, Is there any foster homes open for two Amazons? I am not yet sure if the two Amazons are bonded or in what shape they are in (we are trying to find that out now), but what we do know is that they have lived with their mid-70-yr-old owner for the past 30 years. The owner is unfortunately no longer able to take care of his birds and is hoping to find a good home for them. If someone can step forward to fostering these two, we can help him do this! If not, we will have to turn him away. We will be following up with this man for more details about his birds. If you are interested, please email me off list. (kathleen-franz(a)sbcglobal.net) thanks! katie f.

[Mickaboo Action] Budgies need foster home
by Michelle Yesney 25 Jul '07

25 Jul '07

Dr. Ferguson removed a leg from a budgie today and (in typical budgie fashion) the budgie will be ready to leave the hospital tomorrow. We are, therefore, looking for a foster home for Greta and her friend, Gretchen. These little girls were found in a back yard in Cupertino, one with a mangled leg. It is a tribute to the closeness of their bond that Gretchen stayed with Greta out in the wild after she was injured, during the process of being captured, and has stuck by her side during transport to a shelter and to Holly Street. We would like to keep them close to Greta's vet during her recovery -- so a foster home in the Bay Area would be very welcome. Please let me know if you can help with these two little ones.
