[Mickaboo Action] storage needed
by William Kennedy 19 Feb '07

19 Feb '07

Hello to All, Once again, storage is becoming a problem for us in the equipment end of MCBR. The new, larger Redwood City unit is close to full. We have to leave SOME room for other things besides cages. Tom has mentioned a large, container type storage unit but that is down the road. My garage and side "yard" is full of cages under tarps. We are currently working on getting old, rusted cages re-powder coated. This is a work in progress. Nancy in the East Bay is out of room. I am asking for any help you can give me. I won't take all your extra space that, believe me, I know is hard to come by. If you have a small corner in your garage or home that we could borrow, that would really help us out. Just enough for one or two cages. If you could email me or Nancy Powell and let us know, that would be great. Every effort will be made to use these cages first. Of course, the speed at which they are used depends on the needs of the foster birds that come into our system. If we do not have places to store newly donated cages, we must either turn down offers or start to recycle older cages that will, in the near future, be turned into like new homes for our birds. Donated cages are a large part of what makes Mickaboo go. Many, many of our birds who are taken in by us are housed in temporary, donated cages. So you see my dilemma. If you can help us out, please do. If you can't, thank you for taking the time to read this email. Bill Kennedy, Equipment Coordinator for Mickaboo (Major Cager)

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: Raining BFAs
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 18 Feb '07

18 Feb '07

Happy weekend and the bad weather didn't happen! But the incoming amazons are happening - one on Friday, one today, and another pending as soon as I have a home. Remember: older and mellow - the keys adjectives for the amazon that needs a home now. If you ever thought you might like to "test drive" an amazon this is your chance. Please somebody raise your hand.

I heard there is a chance of rain on the weekend. In the meantime, it is raining Amazons on Mickaboo. I really, really, need a home soon for another Blue Front. None of the Amazons coming in appear to have behavior problems although several have some health issues. The BFA knocking on the door right now is older and mellow. If you'd like to experience life with an amazon, don't wait for better weather. The birds and I need you now.

[Mickaboo Action] Lost budgie in Walnut Creek
by Michelle Yesney 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

All, I received a plea from a woman in Walnut Creek who lost her budgie. He flew away on February 11th. She has done the usual things (flyers, craigslist, newspaper) and sent an email to the budgie coordinator for help. I advised her to check the animal shelters and offered to let our volunteers know. He is green, a year old, bought at Petco. (sigh) If you hear of or know of anyone who has found a budgie in Walnut Creek, her name is Jessica and her email address is: goldfish_soda(a)earthlink.net Michelle

[Mickaboo Action] Tomorrow's class
by Michelle Yesney 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

All, Just a reminder that tomorrow is the monthly class at FOLT in Sunnyvale (1-3 p.m.). If you have the time to drop by and bring your foster bird(s), or just to help talk about Mickaboo and answer questions, that would be great. I don't have a special needs cockatiel to bring (tiels are great teaching aids) to demonstrate why they shouldn't do all of the things we're telling them not to do, so if anybody else has a bird that would enjoy an outing, please feel free to bring him or her. Hope to see you there! Michelle

[Mickaboo Action] Adoption Fair - next Sunday in San Ramon!
by Robbie4 17 Feb '07

17 Feb '07

Yup, it's just a week away! Well, actually a week from tomorrow, on Sunday the 25th. If you're not quite sure where San Ramon is, it is in the East Bay just South of Walnut Creek, on freeway 680. The site of the Adoption Fair is right next to the freeway, and in the same building as the Bishop Ranch Vet Center - a very large vet office, they have something like 12 vets working there. The Fair is in the adjoining pet supply store 'Pet Care Depot' - we had a Mickaboo class there a few weeks ago. . If you haven't already RSVP'd, please consider bringing your foster bird - this is a wonderful opportunity for your bird to find his/her "forever" home. We have advertised on the radio, Craigslist, FreeCycle, Pet Stores, Vet Offices, etc; and are expecting a large turnout. These events are always a lot of fun, and also an opportunity for you to meet and socialize with other Mickaboo folks, and to meet other Mickaboo birds. At the last Adoption Fair, I met the 2 Amazon "loves of my life", whom my hubby and I ended up adopting! If you have other plans that day, perhaps you could find another Mickaboo volunteer in your area to bring your foster bird - I'll include the list of birds and people who have already RSVP'd. The event is open to the public from 1 to 3:30pm, but we're asking Mickaboo birds to arrive around Noon to get ready to greet all the admiring people. But, if you find out at the last minute that you're free, just come when and if you can - we plan to have space available for late arrivals. (it is still better to RSVP if you know ahead of time so we can have your bird's 'place card' ready - the bird bio). Remember, no birds will be adopted that day, this is strictly a "Meet and Greet" event, so you will need to make sure your bird goes home with you at the end of the day; and of course your bird shouldn't come if he is sick or in quarantine. If your bird will come out the the cage, his/her wings must be clipped; and you might consider bringing some treats for your bird. I'm pasting the list of RSVP's so far... for some reason we have lots of amazons, mini-macaws, budgies, a few tiels and conures, but no lovebirds, African greys, or cockatoos at all have RSVP'd. (don't ask me why?!) I know we've got plenty of them needing new homes... would love to give folks an opportunity to meet them at the Adoption Fair. Let me know if you have any questions, and I apologize if you get this email more than once... (that means you are *very important* and are on more than one of my lists! )...

You are invited to a very special event! That's right, it's the East Bay Adoption Fair, an event where you are very likely find your "forever home"! It's true, many, many birds find their humans at Adoption Fairs. Anyhow, we need to get ready for all of you beautiful Mickaboo birds. So tell your foster Mom or Dad to tell us if you'll be there. If you're not sure, that's OK, just tell them to say "maybe". (Oh, and BTW, tell your humans it's a good chance for them to hang out and socialize with other "bird people".) The Adoption Fair is on Feb. 25 in San Ramon from 1-3:30pm. We'd really like you to get there early, around Noon, to get ready for all the people who will want to meet you. But if you can't, that's OK too, just get there when you can! Remember to let us know by sending an email to Robbie4(a)sbcglobal.net; and we can't wait to see you all there!! see attached flyer for more info _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ admins mailing list admins(a)mickaboo.org https://mickaboo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/admins
