[Mickaboo Action] Fw: [Mickaboo Discuss] Real quick temp foster home for a lovebird?
by Bunniesnbirds 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

Hi, We currently have a lovebird sitting at a vets office and we are paying boarding fees. I have a home for him but cannot get him there for a week or two. This is a plea to either get him out of the vets office in San Jose and either temp foster him or transport him to Citrus Heights. Can anyone do either? Thanks!! Susan

[Mickaboo Action] Budgies Need Foster Homes -- DESPERATE
by Michelle Yesney 17 Jul '07

17 Jul '07

All, This is a third plea. We have 4 budgies at the SVHS shelter and two budgies at For The Birds that need foster homes. WE MUST GET THE BIRDS OUT OF THE VET'S OFFICE -- WE CANNOT AFFORD BOARDING FEES! All of the birds appear healthy at this time, but all will need to go through a full quarantine. If you have room for a small flight cage, I'll supply the cage and you can put all 6 birds in it. Remember, budgies make wonderful non-demanding housemates.

[Mickaboo Action] Sunnyvale Class on Sunday - Please bring your foster birds!
by Ailsa 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

Hi all ~ I'll be teaching the Mickaboo class this Sunday from 1-3pm at For Other Living Things in Sunnyvale. Classes are a great time to show off your foster birds - when people can be near a bird and interact, they're more likely to fall in love and want to adopt! And the more fosters we can get adopted out, the sooner we can lift the moratorium on intakes! You dont' have to come for the whole two hours - if you want to aim to arrive about 2:30 or so, you can introduce your foster to the class participants after class. Thanks for considering it! ~ Ailsa

[Mickaboo Action] Foster Homes Needed URGENTLY
by Michelle Yesney 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

All, Our ability to rescue birds from terrible conditions is entirely dependent on having foster homes for them to go to immediately. As you all know, we are suspending intake of birds except under the most urgent circumstances. When we do take in birds -- we must have foster homes for those birds -- we cannot afford to keep them in vet care any longer than is absolutely necessary. And we will only take them when we MUST take them in. Two budgies have come into our care because of injuries that will probably result in the loss of one leg for each bird. They were attacked by rats in the pet store where they and the rats were for sale. The two birds are little more than babies and are very bonded to each other. We will keep them in the same tank and eventually the same cage. (Incidentally, Erin deserves a medal for rescuing these two!) Secondly, a big pet store has two injured birds, a cockatiel and a budgie, that they will surrender to us and that we need to take. Both have received some medical treatment and will be taken to a vet right away and must then go into a foster home. These two can probably go through quarantine in the same room, since they appear to have been near each other already. A volunteer has already negotiated their surrender -- but we need a foster home badly -- and right away. Please give some thought to this -- the injured budgies in particular may require careful supervision. We cannot continue to rescue birds without foster homes, so if you can spare a little space, this is the time. Thank you. Michelle bc
