[Mickaboo Action] One budgie foster home?
by Michelle Yesney 04 Oct '07

04 Oct '07

There is a nice little girl budgie at the Palo Alto shelter that needs a foster home for about 6 weeks. Can someone take her for that long? I will have room for her at that time, but she needs a temporary place. She's a surrender, yellow, and her name is Annabelle. The shelter staff say that she is very sweet.

[Mickaboo Action] A huge thank you!
by Nancy Powell 03 Oct '07

03 Oct '07

Hi Everyone-- First of all I want to thank all the people who are stepping up to do phone screens and home visits. Everyone is jumping right on these tasks and sending in very comprehensive notes. As a result, we have a steady stream of applicants ready for approval. Budgies have been flying out the door (not literally, fortunately) and we have several great tiel homes in the process of choosing their new adoptees. SUSIE SWENSEID and KAREN MIERTA deserve special mention because they both do A LOT of phone screens and do an amazing job. I always send them the "tough cases", and they never flinch :-) KELLY ANGEL has also been our 'go-to' person in the East Bay and has sent in excellent reports. VIRGINIA SCRIBNER and CONNIE KELLERS handle a lot of the SF traffic and, as we continue our schedule of regular classes, that job is getting bigger and bigger. PATTY BLAU takes on phone screens and also does the majority of home visits in the North Bay. (I know I'm forgetting people, but forgive me....it's the best I can do.....) We have some new people who have joined the fray as well: BRIAN GREGER (just one of the many things he's doing for Mickaboo!), BRIANA SAUSSY, and MARTHA KUDLACIK are all recent recruits. SUSAN ZIZUMBO taught a phone class on doing phone screens and will be teaching another one, so if you'd like to sign up, let me know, and we'll get one scheduled. If everyone did one home visit or phone screen a month, we could spread these tasks out so it would be easier for everyone. The other wonderful news is that we had some takers for the Admin tasks I posted about: CATHY HESSE who already answers 'mail(a)mickaboo.org' will also be doing ' class(a)mickaboo.org' STACY REED is good to go with the tools she needs to help with Admin - tasks TBD KC DAVIS has also offered to help in this area, so we're in the process of setting things up LINDA BOSTROM may help Michelle with Budgie Coordination (fingers crossed!) SHARON ERWIN 're-upped' to enter class participants in ASM Thank you Mickabooers! Great to have everyone involved. --Nancy -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Home Visit in Brentwood Needed, Please!
by Kathleen Franz 02 Oct '07

02 Oct '07

Hello, I need someone to do a home visit for me..This person is very interested in fostering DeeBee, a Blue Front Amazon that has been a special needs bird for a while, but has recently recovered after having a pea-sized calcified object removed from her sinuses. DeeBee is currently in the wonderful hands of Lousia, a vet tech at Wildwood. Now that DeeBee is recovering, she will have to be moved soon, in order to make room at Louisa's for other birds that need careful medical attention. If you are interested and able to do a home visit for me in Brentwood, please email me off-list (kathleen-franz(a)sbcglobal.net) and I will give you more specifics. I would like this home visit to be done (hopefully) by this weekend (or during). Well, the sooner the better. Thank you so much for considering this! Let's do this to help DeeBee! Regards, Kathleen Franz Mickaboo Amazon Coordinator www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Extra Travelling Cages?
by Sweet Nerdette 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

If we have any extra travelling cages, i could really use some down in Santa Cruz. The shelter's only have mongo sized cages which makes it really hard for me to transport. Please email me offline if you could help out. Thanks.

[Mickaboo Action] Here I am again!
by Nancy Powell 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

With my periodic appeal for administrative help. We have jobs to fit any schedule! The ones involving ASM (Animal Shelter Manager) --our bird/people tracking software--requires someone comfortable with computers running Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Some options: 1) Someone to respond to class(a)mickaboo.org emails 2) Someone to enter data about Network for Good donors to ASM 3) A cockatoo "ASM buddy" who can be sure everything for the big white guys is kept up to date. Same thing for African Greys and "Non-Parrots" 4) Someone to help Michelle Yesney with budgie coordinating. 5) People to enter bird care class participants in ASM 6) Someone who'd like to be the "point person" for our new sponsorship program (inches away from going live.......) who can be sure sponsors get the perks they're promised. 7) Someone to keep the cockatiels up to date in ASM. This could be my whining/whinging paragraph, but I'll spare you......... --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Extra Cages and Equipment
by Karen Watkins 30 Sep '07

30 Sep '07

I need to move extra Mickaboo cages and play stands to storage. As birds came in from owners, so did their equipment. I can probably get them down to San Jose in my truck, but someone would have to open the storage. Thanks, Karen Watkins 707.655.4528 Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
