[Mickaboo Action] CONTACTS IN MODESTO AREA - URGENT
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 08 Apr '07

08 Apr '07

Hi! Mickaboo received a desperate plea TODAY from a woman with 4 large birds (2 macaws and 2 amazons) who will be HOMELESS this coming TUESDAY. Evidently she has been unemployed for a while, although looking for work, and is now faced with losing her apartment and will be out in the streets. She wants someone to provide care for her birds even if it means surrendering them. (I already said Why Did She Wait So Long?????) You have seen my pleas all weekend and I can not offer her any help. DOES ANYONE KNOW A POSSIBLE SHORT TERM SOLUTION IN THE MODESTO AREA? I have already checked and there appear to be no rescues in that area. If you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks.

[Mickaboo Action] Blue and Gold Macaw at SFACC - URGENT FOSTER HOME NEEDED
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 07 Apr '07

07 Apr '07

Hi! This is the most urgent intake - if anyone can help PLEASE contact me ASAP. We have macaw cages available Thanks. >From Susan Mini, Shelter Coordinator: "I received a message from Eric today about a 32 year old Blue and Gold Macaw female named "George" who was surrendered at SFACC. This bird was living in a dark garage with a very dirty cage, eating only seed, and not taken out on a regular basis. Eric said George is not very handable and when he tried to get George out of his cage, she was displaying and striking at him. Eric asked if we may be able to take George in."

[Mickaboo Action] Anyone going to Holly Street soon?
by Ailsa 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

If so, would you mind bringing a camera with you to get pictures of Heather, the latest member of the SF flock to come under Mickaboo's care? We really need to document what-all we do for these birds so the public understands their plight, all we do, and why donations to help pay for their care are so critical. Thanks! ~ Ailsa

[Mickaboo Action] Budgie cage to SF
by Michelle Yesney 02 Apr '07

02 Apr '07

If anyone is making a trek to SF , I would like to get a budgie cage to Ursula Heise. She's fostering Rowan and Cecil and needs a bigger cage for the two birds. I have cages (in SJ), and there are probably others along the peninsula. (Bill???) Anyone have a cage they can take to Ursula, or is anyone going in her direction that could take a cage? Thanks, Michelle bc

[Mickaboo Action] More info about the PHS conure that needs a foster home
by Ailsa 01 Apr '07

01 Apr '07

One of Mickaboo's volunteers has spent time at the Peninsula Humane Society helping out there too. She has worked with the Nanday that PHS has asked us to take in. This is what she has to say about the bird: I believe you are referring to Martha. I'm very fond of Martha. She is quiet for a conure. I leave her cage door open when I'm cleaning up in there and once she came out. When I tried to get her to step up she flew to the ground but I was able to get her to step up from the floor and she was very well behaved. We spent a little time together looking out the window. I think Martha would really benefit and grow more confident with one on one handling. She's not what I would call an easily frightened or jumpy bird ... My impression is that Martha is not used to a lot of handling. When she came to PHS she had a female cherry head for a cage mate. They were separated because they were extremely nesty together and one of them started laying eggs. The Cherry head got adopted. Martha was adopted a month or more ago but was returned because she bit someone. Martha is not a wacky bitey bird as far as I can tell she just needs some knowledgeable handling and a little patience. I would take her if I could. Please won't someone step up (hee!) and offer this little girl a home where she can feel loved and be given the time and attention she needs? Conures are a delightful, playful, cheeky type of parrot - I have three in my life and adore them for their antics and personalities. I'd sure love to see this little one get more one-on-one time ... it's always the better socialized birds that find adoptive homes the easiest. And it's a honour and a delight to be the human that helps get a bird to that point. ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo!
