Fwd: [Mickaboo Action] Little Amazon Foster Home Needed - SECOND REQUEST
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 16 May '07

16 May '07

If you can help Ellis please let me know. He is not a large bird like other amazons - more about the same size as a small conure and not as noisy .

We are about to receive our third little White Front Amazon. We currently have Buddy, Marty and soon will have Ellis. Ellis, a former Mickaboo bird adopted 5 years ago, and his owner do not get along. He and several other birds have been allowed to fly free and live uncaged in the owner's bird room. He has become aggressive to his owner and possessive of one of the other birds, although his interest in that bird is not reciprocated. He has been hand tamed in the past but the owner has not worked with him and he has reverted to some "wild ways". If you have room for a cage about 24" x 24" x 36" that can house a cute little red, white, blue and green guy weighing only about 240 grams please let me know. It is very important that we accept surrender soon since the owner has made threats against the bird's life (some in jest but she has very high levels of frustration with this bird and has personalized his attacks). Please help if you can.

[Mickaboo Action] Cockatiel transport -- SJ to Lafayette/Berkeley
by Michelle Yesney 15 May '07

15 May '07

Curie has a new home waiting for him in Lafayette. If anyone can help transport him northward, from San Jose to Lafayette or Berkeley (where his foster mom works), he will undoubtedly keep you entertained for the trip. Thanks for considering this.

[Mickaboo Action] RE: Avian scales (getting ready to order soon)
by LL 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hey Shauna, I just wanted to make sure you received my offlist email expressing interest in a scale... I think the Hobbyist should work for me. Thanks, Laura From: "SHAUNA HILL" <mnshill(a)msn.com> To: "General mickaboo discussion" <discuss(a)mickaboo.org>, action(a)mickaboo.org Date: Fri, 11 May 2007 11:50:12 -0700 Subject: RE: Avian scales (getting ready to order soon) Sterling Home Products makes 2 models of bird scales - 1) Professional Scale Kit - comes with stand and is top of the line (really good if you have multiple birds or foster a lot) this scale retails for about $98.00. We are getting a discounted price of $65.00 when we buy 2-9 scales, $63.00 if we buy 10 or more! 2) Hobbist Scale - smaller digital scale come with perch attached I believe. Good for those with smaller flocks. I think this scale retails around $60.00 or somewhere around there (The Perch.net had it for $58.00 someone mentioned). We can order this scale for $42.75 with 2-9 orders. Here is the website information that Sterling sent to me to look up the 2 models: At our web site, www.sterlinghomeproducts.com, you will find information on the model #3224 "Maxima" (Professional scale kite) scale and related accessories as well as information on our Hobbyist Avian Scale Kit, #6724-AK. The #3224 state of the art scale has a 2000 gram by 1g. / 80 ounce by 0.1oz. capacity, a hold button, memory button and many more features. When purchased as the #3224-AK ProfessionalAvian Scale Kit, the scale and accessories are packaged as a set. For those who responded I will email you off line to find out which scale you are interested in ordering so I can call ahead to Sterling and give them a count so they can have the pricing per scale finalized. Please do not call ahead until I done this part otherwise you will get the correct price you are entitled to. Everyone will be calling in after I contacted you all via email and purchasing your own scale. They will drop ship one large shipment with everyone's scale to me and then I will deliver once they arrive (last time I went all the way to Napa so not to worry about how far you are). They were pretty quick in delivering them last time so it should not take too long. Thanks! - Shauna ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling? Check out "Tonight's Picks" on Yahoo! TV. http://tv.yahoo.com/

[Mickaboo Action] Another Thing To Be Aware Of
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 14 May '07

14 May '07

Hi! Here is another concern to add to your growing list of bird dangers. I just read a message from a woman who is completing the approval process with us to adopt a couple birds. She recently lost her birds while using her MEAT THERMOMETER. She had no idea there was teflon on that product and the birds died.

[Mickaboo Action] Foster Home for Brotogeris
by Holly Atwood 13 May '07

13 May '07

We may be getting a Canary Wing Parakeet into Mickaboo in the next week or so. The bird hasn't been surrendered yet, but I'd like to line up a foster home for when/if she is. She is a canary wing, which is a type of Brotogeris. These guys are commonly known as Pocket Parrots because they just love to snuggle up in people's pockets all day! They are sweet little things a tiny bit smaller then a green cheek conure. Not as loud as a conure, probably about on par with a male cockatiel as far as noise level goes. This particular individual plucks around her neck. She was hand fed but poorly socialized. She is scared of people, but then once she is away from the cage she loves for them to cuddle and pet her. She needs someone who will be able to medicate her if she needs it and has time to work on socializing her. Please email me if you're interested in helping this little bird.

Laurie, Glad you are set up with a scale already. These are real "bird scales" and are no where near $100-150.00...that's the great deal part :) Once again for those who do not recall the email sent earlier or can't find it: Sterling Home Products makes 2 models of bird scales -1) Professional Scale Kit - comes with stand and is top of the line (really good if you have multiple birds or foster a lot) this scale retails for about $98.00. We are getting a discounted price of $65.00 when we buy 2-9 scales, $63.00 if we buy 10 or more!2) Hobbist Scale - smaller digital scale come with perch attached I believe. Good for those with smaller flocks. I think this scale retails around $60.00 or somewhere around there (The Perch.net had it for $58.00 someone mentioned).
