[Mickaboo Action] It's raining African Greys! Update
by Susan Mini 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

Hi everyone, Just wanted to give everyone an update on all the Greys that came in to Mickaboo this week. Gwin the CAG: Gwin is a 25 year old CAG that was owner surrendered and had been at the Peninsula Humane Society since November. Gwin has a preference for men, and PHS asked us this last week if we would be interested in taking him in to Mickaboo. Francie Waller picked up Gwin from Peninsula Humane Society on Friday and transported him up to Angela Allen who will be fostering him. Jackson the TAG: This lil' guy's previous caregiver had to surrender him due to terminal illness. Shannon Shewsbury and Bill Kennedy picked him up on Saturday and will be fostering him. Lou and "Babe" (not "Dave"): Oops! I made a mistake on poor Babe's name :-( I thought she was originally named "Dave", but in fact it is "Babe". These 2 CAGs are at the Marin Humane Society. Their previous caregiver passed away and the family surrendered them to MHS. These two have been plucking at themselves and on each other. Maggie Ruffo went to check in on them Friday and found that one of the technicians at MHS is interested in adopting them. She seems like she would be a great adopter and has a lot of bird experience. Plus, Lou and Babe really seem attached to her :-) so she is going through the application process right now of FTA. Thank you to all the foster parents of these guys and for everyone who helped transport! Susan Mini African Grey Adoption Co-Coordinator Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue smini(a)mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: [Mickaboo Admins] calling all Mickaboo foster birds
by Robbie4 10 Feb '07

10 Feb '07

The Adoption Fair is coming up just two weeks from tomorrow - on Sunday, Feb. 25. If you know you can attend, please RSVP to me, as we plan to have "Bird Bios" for each attending bird, sort of like a "place card". If you're not sure, just come if you can! Obviously, if your bird is sick, or just doesn't seem to be feeling well, he should not come. If your bird does come, you might want to bring some "birdie treats". No birds will be adopted at the event - this is strictly a "get acquainted" activity - sort of like an old fashioned ice cream social. So if your bird attends the Fair, you will need to take your bird home with you, or need to make arrangements for somebody else to take it home. Big birds that come out of cages will need a playstand, newspaper, and hand sanitizer for others to use before holding your bird. (we'll have bottles of hand sanitizer there, but it wouldn't hurt to have extra). Shoot me an email if you have any questions... Robbie CLAUDIA MELTEFF <cmelteff(a)sbcglobal.net> wrote: Hi to all! Mickaboo is putting on another "meet the birds - adoption faire" in San Ramon this month. It is always fun and the birds, especially the big birds, always get a lot of attention from attendees. Last year many love matches were made with foster parents and someone else's foster birds! For many of you San Ramon might be too far to drive. However, if you would consider bringing your foster birds it can make all the difference in finding their new home. Calling all Mickaboo Foster Birds!! 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 1-4pm. 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

[Mickaboo Action] 2-Congo African Greys looking for a foster home
by Susan Mini 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Hello everyone, We received a call today from Marin Humane Society about 2 Congo African Greys that they would like for us bring to Mickaboo. It sounds like these two may be bonded, so they would be best for them to go together to the same foster home, but they will probably need to be placed in separate cages for now, as they have started feather plucking and one of the birds is plucking feathers from the other one. These 2 birds are named "Lou" and "Dave". Both were surrendered to the Humane Society, as their owner recently passed away. Lou is 7 years old and was bought from Petco as a baby. Dave, is supposedly a female, and was given to the previous owner by a neighbor who thought Lou and Dave could keep each other company. According to the family of the former deceased caregiver, both birds have been together for about 7 months. Both birds currently eat seed and veggies and have never seen a Vet. Kristine at the MHS says that both Greys are friendly and step up well, but that they are quite stressed in the shelter, and are plucking a lot. Maggie Ruffo will be going to check in on them Friday. If you are interested in fostering these two, please contact either myself or Holly Atwood. Thank you for considering this!
