[Mickaboo Action] Large Perch Stand Donation
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

Hi! We have a wonderful home currently fostering Rico, a Greenwing Macaw who is afflicted with Papilloma virus. Rico's only exercise area is the top of his cage. The nature of the virus involves the bird's intestines and results in very frequent loose stool, creating a mess not only all over the cage and anything in the cage but also for many feet beyond. What we really need for this home is a large perch stand for Rico to exercise on. The foster mom is very diligent with her cleaning and having a separate play area will allow her to maintain the cage while he is out and then clean the exercise area when he is in the cage. Endless duty! If anyone has a perch stand with a good size base that will accommodate macaw feet and is willing to donate it to Mickaboo, it would be a godsend to this bird. Due to the contagiousness of this disease the perch can not be used for any other non-infected birds. Rico is in the West Sacramento area. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Mickaboo Action] Home visit for Davis? Please?! :)
by Ailsa 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

I need a home visit done in Davis - I totally dropped the ball and failed to ask for this home visit a week ago after the phone screen. Could someone please do this for me? The applicant wants to foster conures - and totally fell off my radar. I'm blaming it on the early time change ... and on not putting her on my "pending" list. :( ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo!

[Mickaboo Action] Foster home for Poppy the Green Cheek Conure?
by Ailsa 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

Hi all ~ I celebrated a little too soon - I got the other three conures all set for foster homes, and this morning I found out that the FTA situation for Poppy did not work out. So she needs a new foster home too. She's agressive towards her current family's Grey and they're worried that the Grey will fight back one day and hurt the conure. From their reports of Poppy's behaviour and personality, she may do better in a home where she's the only bird or in an environment where she can be kept separate from other birds (ie, no flighted birds in the house and room for her to play independently). This isn't an impossible situation - I have a GCC who is a little Napoleon too, and she does fine talking with the other birds, but being kept from interacting with them. Please let me know if you think you would be able to take Poppy in to foster! ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo!

[Mickaboo Action] Still need a foster home for Pierre the Dusky Conure
by Ailsa 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi all ~ It looks like I have a foster home for Louie the GCC and one for Possum the Patagonian ... but I'm still looking for a home for Pierre the Dusky Conure. Pierre is a 3-year-old female Dusky conure (named before DNA testing was done!) The mom in the family is very sick and is afraid of infection from her pets due to medical procedures she's had to undergo. All the pets in the house have been moved to the garage or the outdoors except Pierre, who has moved into the 9-year-old daughter's room. Pierre has been very well socialized, will lie on her back in a hand, etc., but isn't getting any out-time these days because the Mom doesn't want to handle her and won't let the daughter have her out without supervision. Pierre has taken to being very loud - very likely because she's gone from lots of attention to being in her cage 24/7. Again, it would be wonderful to get her into a foster home that can give her attention and love so that she stays well-socalized, which always makes it easier to find forever homes for the little feathered butts. Please let me know if you can help? Thanks, ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue Share your support of Mickaboo! Not just for cockatiels anymore!

[Mickaboo Action] Amazon Foster Home Needed - Little Guy
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 20 Mar '07

20 Mar '07

Hi! We have a White Front Amazon named "Marty" (see attached picture) who really needs a foster home. He is the smallest of the amazon species and makes a raspy contact call (like a strangled duck). He has been eating seeds prior to Mickaboo but is now doing well with the addition of soft foods too. In his foster home he will need to continue a conversion to pellets. He is also just learning what toys are for and enjoys chewing wood and ringing his bell. Not much is known about Marty except that he was kept in a poor environment without much human interaction. He does not step up. He seems curious and will come to the front of the cage to "look you in the eye", muttering softly and pinning his eyes with excitement. He seems to enjoy the nightly cover the cage ritual and sits under the cover making little cooing sounds. He has a Mickaboo cage with dimensions 24" x 24" x 56" with a playtop. Marty is one of the amazons currently living in my garage because we had so many intakes. If you can accommodate his cage you will enjoy experiencing a little amazon. Please help me move this little guy into a family setting where he can continue his socialization process. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940
