[Mickaboo Action] DESPERATE PLEA FOR MACAW FOSTER HOME
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 14 Jan '07

14 Jan '07

Hi! A shelter in Sacramento has two large macaws, surrendered together, that need to move soon. They are available Sunday. There is a Blue & Gold 20 year old male (?) that is not well tamed. The other is a Catalina 3 year old male (?) that is pretty tame - will step up on bare arm but hates long sleeves. They eat Pretty Bird pellets and lots of greens so the previous owner attempted to take care. This shelter has had good experience with Mickaboo and calls us first. I'd hate to disappoint them with a big NO. But I don't have any vacancy for one macaw let alone two. However, it you have taken down your Christmas tree and have a large bare spot that might accommodate a big macaw cage, please let me know. Macaws might look intimidating with their loud noise and big beak but in reality they are very intelligent, sensitive birds who can make your day and enrich your life. PLEASE HELP. Thanks. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

All, We have a potential adopter for Winston and Neville, two charming English budgies that presently live in San Jose. The potential adopter is in Sherman Oaks, which is near the confluence of the 405 (the San Diego Freeway) and 101 freeways in Los Angeles County. If you're going to be heading toward the southland in the near future, please let me (and Winston and Neville) know. Thanks, Michelle bc

[Mickaboo Action] Jellybean & Sparkey - FOSTER or ADOPTIVE HOME PLEASE
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 11 Jan '07

Hi All! No one has indicated any interest in taking on these two great macaws - one little and one big. Although they have lived together, their current dad thinks they could be placed separately if there are other birds in the home. I'd prefer to keep them together but time is running short and they must be moved soon. If you can see yourself with a handsome big macaw on your forearm or a cute little macaw on your hand please let me know ASAP. Thanks.

[Mickaboo Action] Long-term foster homes needed.
by Ailsa 10 Jan '07

10 Jan '07

You know ... y'all can stop me sending out these pleas simply by offering to help out. How easy is that?! *grin* I just got the update below from Jennifer Erlichman about the members of the SF flock we've taken in. Currently they are all living with her. Please consider opening your heart and home to a cherryhead. Seriously folks, these birds are totally delightful beings. Cherryheads truly have to be one of the sweetest and most delightful conures, they're all done with their meds - and you'll get to live with a celebrity too. Who could say no to such a deal?! :) Please let me know if you can take one of these guys in. Jennifer, I, and the little feathered-butt you give a home to will all appreciate it! ~ Ailsa Jennifer sent: Willow and Ellis need to have their legs looked at on January 25th by Dr. F. Their meds are done. Willow is slowly getting less beaky, and will definitely tame down into a very nice pet. Ellis has gotten more beaky, but I've been handling him a lot, and he'll tame down quite easily too. Lombard is ready to go home to someone who can bring him back once more to Dr. F to check the wing one last time. He's going to need a lot of patience and attention to get tame. I'm hoping someone will want to spend that kind of time with him rather than just sticking him in a home where he's just going to remain in his cage and not have someone try to work on taming him. He seems. . . almost miserable right now. Geneva has gotten SuperTame(tm). Don't know how or when or why. She and Serge get along so well that I'm inclined to keep her as long as possible just so they both have a friend to hang out with. Ideal universe? Someone wants to take both these "not all there" birds on as a long-term care responsibility. I'm leaving to go to Vegas on March 5th, and would REALLY like to have this sorted out by then. Otherwise, I'll need temporary homes for a week for 5 conures.

[Mickaboo Action] Jellybean and Sparky
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 09 Jan '07

Two most wonderful bird buddies have become available again. Many of you know their story (one big macaw and one little macaw) and their fortune to find a loving adoptive home. However, serious illness has struck this fine family and they need the bird room (i.e. former bedroom) for a very ill relative. These macaw boys need to move soon but no later than early February. If you were interested in these guys but missed out the first time, here is another chance. They have improved immensely - JB is allowing his chest feathers to grow out and both have developed a love of romantic classical music. Please let me know if you are interested in meeting these beautiful boys. Claudia Melteff Amazon/Macaw Adoption Coordinator Mickaboo (650) 583-1940

Hello, I will be in an area this morning and early afternoon where my cell won't receive a signal. I will try to get to an area where I get cell coverage periodically and will check for messages. Just wanted to let everyone know, just in case we get a call in from a shelter about sick or injured bird.
