[Mickaboo Action] REALLY REALLY NEED HELP
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 21 May '07

21 May '07

I have spoken with a woman in the past who wanted to surrender a bonded pair of Blue & Gold macaws. Her issue was lack of time since she returned to work. We talked a lot about how she might be able to continue to keep her birds and I think she has been working on it. Very early this morning she called me to say she really needs to move her birds ASAP. In addition to the macaws she has a Citron Cockatoo. These birds are relatively young 6 - 7 years old. The issue is an abusive spouse who drinks and smokes all day in the home and has gambled away all their resources. She is afraid he will burn down the house while she is at work and also is concerned what he might do to the birds when she is not at home. She has moved these three large birds into a back room where they scream. She is also worried about her neighbors complaining. This woman is very concerned for her birds and must move them to a safe place. She can not even leave her abusive spouse for her own safety until she knows her birds are ok. IF ANYONE CAN HELP OR HAS ANY IDEAS, PLEASE CONTACT ME SOON. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] More info about the Dusky
by Ailsa 21 May '07

21 May '07

This was in another email I got about the Dusky. I'm not sure how they know he's a young bird, because even older conures are much like three year olds! :) He would make a great pet for someone that will live as long as he will, since he's so young. He is very much like a three year old. He requires constant attention. He can't be left alone as I believe he would get into a lot of trouble. I was told he doesn't like being ignored and if he is, he screams until he gets attention – unless he is put in another room. He bit me at first, but after being at Kim's house, he warmed up to us. He sat on our shoulders and tried nibbling on our hair and cheeks, ever so gently. At one point, he was on the floor playing under a thin cover with the kids. He walked across the carpet to me and stepped up without biting me. I already have a Cockatiel I adopted in December and I'm still trying to get him out of the cage and train him to step up. It's taki ng a lot of time and work. I cannot take another bird into the house so I was hoping Mickaboo could help find him, at least, a temporary home. The Conure is a great bird and would make someone very, very happy. He would do best with someone who is home most of the time. Sounds like he needs some work to learn to play by himself and to use his "indoor voice" (as I called it when my children were young), but he also sounds like a sweetie. Please do let me know if you can offer a foster home for this little guy. Thanks again, ~ Ailsa

[Mickaboo Action] Foster home needed for a Dusky Conure
by Ailsa 21 May '07

21 May '07

We have an need for a foster home for a Dusky Conure - some kids found the bird while playing in the park about a week ago and are caring for it, but they can't care for it much longer. The bird is apparently rather loud at times, so we'll need a house, not an apartment or condo. If you can help out, please let me know. ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo! Not just for cockatiels anymore!

Hi A previous Mickaboo adopter has a friend who found a Dusky Conure in a park in Cambell a week ago on a Friday. The bird is very social and friendly. Has anyone see or heard of anyone missing a dusky conure in that area? Thanks, Lynn

[Mickaboo Action] Mini-macaw Foster Home - JUST ASKING
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 19 May '07

19 May '07

Hi! We have been contacted by another rescue about taking a very happy and talkative male Yellow Collar Macaw named "Chili". He was surrendered yesterday from the home of an older couple, who are no longer able to care for him. He originally came from Feathered Follies in the East Bay. Before I commit to a transfer for this little bird with a big personality I need to have a foster home. ANY ONE WILLING TO ADD A LITTLE JOY TO HIS AND YOUR LIVES?
