[Mickaboo Action] New Macaws
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

Ah, we are being struck with Macaw Madness. We just eeked by recently when a great foster home in the Sacto area did an inhouse bird shuffle to make room for Calvin and Spenser, two macaws from the Sacto SPCA. Now we have a surrenderer in the South Bay, whose father died, leaving three macaws - all about 16 years old (Blue & Gold, Severe and Military). These birds will be challenges - diet conversion, socialization, etc. And then the owner of a plucked little Severe named Scooter, who loves to talk and eat peanuts, finally decided to surrender her too. And then we have the macaws that have been in foster care for a while - just waiting patiently for a chance to get it right the next time. Macaws are wonderful - intelligent and sensitive and very entertaining and messy and loud - a lot like a 3 year old kid, who just never gets any older. Want to try one, two, three - let me know. I always say I'm desperate and I always am. Please help me help these big guys (and some little ones) get to a safe and loving place. Time is short to make something happen for Scooter, Huggy, Shorty, Sarge. . . . Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

[Mickaboo Action] Anyone available to take a bird from SF to Wildwood on Saturday afternoon?
by Ailsa 25 Jan '07

25 Jan '07

We have a plucked Blue Crowned Conure coming into Mickaboo on Saturday. Sarah Forstner has offered to foster him, but he needs to go to Dr. Sanders for some tests first. The woman who contacted us about teh surrender can bring him from Rohnert Park to San Francisco, is there anyone who could bring him from SF to Portola Valley for us? Donna, the woman driving the first leg of the trip, thinks she'll be in SF 1-1:30ish.

[Mickaboo Action] CRITICALLY IMPORTANT! A reminder about shelter emergencies
by Nancy Powell 23 Jan '07

23 Jan '07

Hi there-- Just want to remind everyone (including me!--I participated in screwing this up today) that ALL shelter pickups, emergency or otherwise, *must* go through Susan Mini. Our whole system is set up to handle the calls this way. If you get a call on the main line or get a personal call about a bird that must be picked up from a shelter, the first thing to do is call Susan Mini. Do NOT post to any email group; let Susan handle it through her shelter teams. Note. Please don't email Susan because she isn't always by her computer. Here are her numbers, could you all note them down in some prominent place? Home (707) 224-7570 Work 415-499-4081 Cell 707-287-5749 Thanks!! --Nancy

[Mickaboo Action] sick budgie has been picked up
by Susan Mini 23 Jan '07

Just wanted to let everyone know that the sick budgie from SVHS has been picked up and is at For the Birds. I guess there are still emergency text messages going around saying the bird needs to be picked up. If you get this message, ignore it , as it has been taken care of. Thank you Pat Dixon for getting this lil' one to FTB so quickly! Susan Mini Shelter Coordinator Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue 707-224-7570 (hm) 707-287-5749 (cell) smini(a)mickaboo.org
