-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [DavisFreecycle] OFFER: Cockatiel Needs Good Home (95776) Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2007 20:04:06 -0000 From: megannix <minscofield1(a)hotmail.com> To: DavisFreecycle(a)yahoogroups.com We found a cockatiel in our side yard. It needs a good home as we know nothing about birds. We do not have a cage for the bird so you would need to come up with that yourself. Please call today if interested.

[Mickaboo Action] Can someone handle a car donation?
by Nancy Powell 25 Sep '07

25 Sep '07

We have been offered a car in good working order as a donation. Is someone willing to figure out the process and get the money for the car? There are organizations that will handle individual car donations for non-profits. I think the fees they charge vary widely. --N -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org

[Mickaboo Action] Fwd: Rascally Blue Fronts Need Immediate Foster Home - URGENT
by CLAUDIA MELTEFF 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Happy Monday! I hope this week will be happy for these Blue Fronts!!!! I did not receive any response to the initial post and now have to add a 3rd Blue Front to the mix. This additional bird is from the home where the owner has some serious health issues. WE MUST MOVE these birds because the owner needs medical care and can not continue to care for these guys. Can any one take one or two even for a month until we can make some other type of arrangement? Please help if you can make space for a cage or two. Thanks very much.

Katie Franz is going on vacation for a week so I am back in the amazon group as back up. Katie has petitioned nicely for help with some difficult amazons and we are still desperate for help. We are looking for homes that can provide the following: 1. Space for a macaw sized cage. 2. General care and feeding of an older Blue Front Amazon that does not trust humans. Neither of these birds does well outside of the cage, which is why they each have large cages. One had a bad life prior to Mickaboo and is considered special needs due to a damaged wing and vision in only one eye. The other lived the life of Riley in a gorgeous Hillsborough home. Both are territorial and improperly socialized. They do like human interaction when they are in the safety of their cages. Both birds have been living in environments with other birds. One needs to move quickly because he is living in an unheated garage in a location that starts to get cold in a few weeks. The other needs to move even sooner because his Mickaboo adopter has some health challenges which preclude the ability to continue to care for him. These are not sweet affectionate birds but they are just the type of bird for which Mickaboo exists. They are healthy and beautiful. I need someone to step up VERY SOON because these guys don't have a lot of options. Fostering the "tough nuts" is the greatest gift you can give a needy bird. Providing a healthy environment in a home where the bird feels safe and secure goes a long way to heal the problems from the past. PLEASE HELP! We just absolutely need to have a place to move these guys. As always, thanks so much for considering this.

[Mickaboo Action] Foster home(s) still needed for two birds of foster parent who is deploying in October!
by Ailsa 21 Sep '07

21 Sep '07

Hi all ~ Thank you to everyone who has stepped up in the last week to help me with the "raining conures" issue. I still am looking for new digs for Rojo and Paco for when their foster dad deploys next month. If you'd like to know a bit more about either of these cherryheads, Rojo's webpage is here: http://mickaboo.org/our-birds/frame6.html and Paco's is here: http://mickaboo.org/our-birds/frame1537.html They are not bonded and do not need to go to the same foster home - however if one person is able to take them both I won't argue! :) I leave for vacation two weeks from today and the birds will need to be moved before I get back. I'd sure like to have new foster homes lined up before I go so I don't leave this task for someone else to have to finish while I'm gone. Please let me know if you can help! Thanks, ~ Ailsa Conure Coordinator, Teacher Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue http://www.mickaboo.org http://www.cafepress.com/mickaboo "Be the Change You Wish to See in the World." ~ Gandhi

[Mickaboo Action] Help us get out the word about the Safety Clinic!
by Nancy Powell 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

If you could post the attached flyer anywhere bird folks (or dog folks!) hang out, that would be wonderful. Here are the printing instructions from the designer. Could someone post one at FOLT? " When people print this out, please have them pay attention to the print dialog window when it appears on their screen. They should set the page scaling to NONE. The page scaling should NOT be set to SHRINK TO PRINTABLE AREA or FIT TO PRINTABLE AREA. I've allowed plenty of room around the live area so that printing at 100% will not clip anything off." -- Nancy Powell Operations Manager Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue www.mickaboo.org
