[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: Available Cage At Holly Street
by Nancy Powell 02 Jun '07

If someone is going to Holly St. anyway, could you check on this cage? If you can store it, all the better! ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: CLAUDIA MELTEFF <cmelteff(a)sbcglobal.net> Date: Jun 2, 2007 9:19 AM Subject: Available Cage At Holly Street To: William Kennedy <bill.kennedy2(a)gmail.com>, Tom McMasters-Stone < liberal55(a)sprint.blackberry.net>, melinda wong <freedbyrde(a)juno.com>, Nancy Powell <nancyp2(a)gmail.com> When I picked up the amazon cage from Holly St. yesterday to take to Pancho's foster home, Dr. Ferguson showed me Pancho's original cage which Mike Reed had brought along with the bird. They would like to have it removed from the hospital storage room. It is about 20" x 20" light weight black (probably two piece) and looks like an older Midwest cage. I think it still has some service in it for 'tiel size bird.

[Mickaboo Action] Transport needed for a Ping the tiel tomorrow!
by Nancy Powell 01 Jun '07

01 Jun '07

Hi Everybody-- Maria Pangelina has taken over Tiel Coordinating duties from Shannon, but we are trying NOT to burn her out in the first month :-( Can someone pick up Ping the tiel at the Palo Alto Shelter and take him to meet Tammy Pittman, his new foster Mom in Daly City? Tammy will be taking Ping the rest of the way home to Elk Grove. Alternate plan: Pick up Ping from Maria in Fremont (after she gets him from Palo Alto) and take him to Tammy in Daly City. (Just to give you a sense of what Maria has ALREADY done in the transportation area -- last Saturday she drove from Fremont to Loomis to pick up a gravely ill tiel and got him to a foster home with Louisa, the vet tech from Wildwood). Traffic was horrific and Maria spent 6 1/2 hours in the car.......... Let's give her a break this weekend! :-) Thanks for considering it. --Nancy -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] FOSTER HOME NEEDED - FFYOD
by Tom 31 May '07

31 May '07

Foster Home needed for a Father of a Fifteen-Year-Old Daughter. Weighs about 20 Stone, eats most people foods, but the vet has been yelling about blood sugar and cholesterol, so he has been staying away from sweets and bad carbs. Oddly, avocados are one of his favorites and he exhibits no ill effects, and will try to drink your red wine if you are not looking. Fairly quiet, seems to favor his left wing way more than his right, loves trees, but wants nothing to do with any Bush. Willing to clean his own cage. Will almost always step up on command, but requires a strong perch. Doesn't much care for the Birdsitting DVDs, but will happily sit or putter around for hours watching historic dramas, the History Channel, or the Discovery Channel. Will also listen to the Eagles for hours, as well as the Beatles, Beach Boys, and the REAL country music of Waylon, Willie, Johnny, Merle, Lefty, Patsy, Loretta, Dolly, Kenny, and George. Vocabulary is excellent, although sometimes earthy, is a hockey fan, and sometimes startles humans and birds alike when he yells "Puck Off!", "Shoot!" or "YESSSSSSSSSSS!" His words are not perfect, though, as he pronounces Fox News as "Fox Noise". No obvious plucking, gets along well with all companion bird species except for Cockatoos, but has no real experience with big Macaws. Poicephalus and mini-macaws are his favorites. Some pigeons live across the street, but he has not met them. Is up to date on all his inoculations, and sees the vet regularly. Loves showers, tolerates baths, does pretty well in the car without a carrier. Loves to see the housekeeper on her weekly visits, but gets quite ruffled when the bathroom and kitchen look worse than they originally did 6 hours later. At these times, seems very interested in chewing on active electrical cords, which he usually ignores. Gets along well with dogs, cats, tortoises, fish, little kids, teenage boys, most women and men. Although now abiding by Mickaboo's "No Reproduction" rules, has four young'uns that he adores- but the fourth that he would probably adore more from afar.

We have doves and pigeons who need to go to Lake Forest, in the LA area. These guys are easy! No parrot screaming in the car.........they'll just coo to you softly. If you can do it, give a shout. --Nancy -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Travel Plans ???
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 31 May '07

31 May '07

Hi All! We have two Mickaboo birds that need to hitch a ride to Washington state as soon as possible. One is a cockatoo, who will be going to live in beautiful new aviaries at Mollywood Sanctuary. The other is a mini-macaw, who has been adopted by one of the Mollywood staff. If your summer travel plans include Washington state please let me know. As you know we do not "ship" our birds and for their health and safety prefer them to ride as passengers in a land vehicle. You can learn more about Mollywood on their website www.Mollywood.org.
