Thanks to Tom McMasters-Stone, who has a truck with a macaw carrier, an empty macaw cage, a generous heart AND a very understanding wife, he will get the macaw from the shelter on Saturday and foster for a few days. That means, though I still need a longer term foster home.
Thanks to all of you who responded with offers to transport even though you might not have room for a large cage, and those who said they would move things around to try to squeeze a cage in for a few days, and more. You have a great CAN DO spirit and these big birds deserve our every effort.

Subject: Blue & Gold Macaw ON DEATH ROW?
To: action@mickaboo.org
Recently I sent a note about a Blue & Gold macaw being held in one of the local shelters not known for quality care or humane treatment. We have been advised today that they will give us the bird but it has to be moved before close of business on Saturday. This shelter is known for euthanizing unwanted parrots and our Shelter Coordinator is very anxious that we move this bird NOW.
This bird was dropped off in the after hours kennel, is fearful and exhibits some plucking. The bird is also relatively quiet.
Please contact me ASAP if you can help with this bird.
