[Mickaboo Action] We need a new tagline----
by Nancy Powell 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hi-- As you know, we're very close to finalizing our new name---"Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue". When we start using the new name on the website and printed material, we're going to drop "Rescuing parrot type birds in Northern California." Two reasons for that: 1) We don't want to limit ourselves geographically 2) The new name says the same thing re what we do As a result, we'd like to come up with a new tag line or 'condensed statement of purpose'. One of the things that makes Mickaboo what it is, is that we do not triage birds and we do not make any distinctions in the level of care we offer birds based on their monetary value---budgies gets the same level of care as macaws. Every bird we take in gets the best we've got in terms of medical care, multiple opinions in difficult cases, surgeries, and long-term treatment. Can anyone come up with a short way to say that? --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue Don't breed, Don't buy, Adopt a needy bird today!

[Mickaboo Action] Transport from Roseville area to Holly St or Wildwood?
by Ailsa 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Hi all ~ We have a Jenday conure that needs to get to a vet. The Roseville vet's office can't have the bird seen by either avian vet there until next week - and I've left a message for Tammy asking if she just wants me to have the bird dropped there to be seen by whomever is available, but I wanted to see too if anyone was available to get the bird (it's in the Roseville area) and bring it down to Holly Street or Wildwood? If someone can do that today, it would likely be a better choice than having the bird seen by someone not used to birds.

[Mickaboo Action] Long term foster after quarantine?
by Ailsa 02 Jan '07

02 Jan '07

Good morning I've had a few offers from people to do short-term care for the SF conures - people who can give medicines and do the initial quarantine, but I have no long-term foster homes to send the birds to after that. If you could take in one of these birds once they're off their meds and through quarantine, please let me know? Thanks, ~ Ailsa

[Mickaboo Action] New foster homes REALLY needed for SF conures!
by Ailsa 01 Jan '07

01 Jan '07

Good morning all, I have more information on the conures that Jennifer has taken in and what their medical requirements are. I'm hoping this will help you all understand better their needs and how swamped Jennifer is with four ill birds as well as her own two to look after. LOMBARD has a sprained wing, and will be in a wing splint for a month. He's on Cipro (2x a day), Panacur (1x), and Metacam (1x), and needs oral feedings (2x). WILLOW has a broken leg. She'll be in a cast for a month or more. She also likes to pick at it at lot. She's also on Cipro (2x), Panacur (1x), and Metacam (1x). ELLIS also has a broken leg, as well as a big bite on her beak, and got seen by Dr. F yesterday. She'll be in a cast for a month, too. Ellis needs Injectable Claforan (2x a day), Panacur (1x), and Metacam (1x). GENEVA finally fell asleep in her water dish one too many times, and now has a sinus infection. She's getting Cipro (2x) and 30-minute nebulizing treatments (2x). Most medicines are for 2 weeks or so, so Willow and Lombard would have only a week or so to go. I know the babies are easy to towel and give meds to (when I was giving meds to Peter Pan, he would actually sit between my legs and then just tilt his head and take his medicine so long as I let him play with the oral syringe afterwards!) Once these birds are done with their meds, they'd just need a continued loving and warm home to give them time to heal, give them human love (Willow and Ellis are both babies and trust me, they are not only incredibly cute as babies, but they are happy to be loved!), and teach them about toys and a good diet. Please, if you can help, let me know. Jennifer is overwhelmed right now and there's the possibility of more birds coming in to us in the coming weeks, now that we have people watching the flock for injured members. Thank you so very much, ~ Ailsa

[Mickaboo Action] URGENT -- Love bird transfer needed ASAP
by Michelle Yesney 31 Dec '06

31 Dec '06

Please, folks, we have a chain of birdie-dominos that are about to fall. We have a shelter rescue (out of the notorious Martinez shelter) lovebird who is in a temporary foster home, occupying the quarantine space promised to an Amazon who also must move from his present location. Now that the holidays are slipping away, please gird up your loins (er...you know what I mean) and help us with this one. If you cannot help with this lovie yourself, but can think of someone who has adopted or fostered from us before -- PLEASE make the call. If you think you can help us place this little lovie, please contact me, or Robbie Rhodes (robbie4(a)sbcglobal.net) or Susan Mini (smini(a)earthlink.net) Here's a way to start off the new year feeling really good. Michelle
