OK, that email went thru it seems. Angela and Richard from Anaheim Heights are interested in adopting 2 macaws. Their rescued macaw died about 2 weeks ago. Angela is quite devastated. They rescued this macaw from an elderly couple. The bird belonged to the husband and when the husband died his wife did not know how to properly care for Robert (later discovered to be Roberta after an egg was laid). Roberta broke her leg and did not get treatment. The leg became gangrenous. Richard and Angela took the bird in before or after (I'm not sure) the leg was amputated. They really went through a lot with this bird and from what I gathered loved this bird intensely. In fact they prefer special needs birds. They described a lot of the care and accomodations they made for Roberta. They seem to have a lot of space and describe having a very large cage that makes a macaw look small when inside the cage. ("like a canary in an aviary"). The cage is supposed to be a cage for 2 macaws.
I've asked them to fill out an application and told them about the adoption process. My gut feeling is that these people would make wonderful parents. I don't know about what accomodations mickaboo makes for qualified adopters living so far away.
I thought maybe you could continue the conversation with them. Their phone number is 714 281 2501
Would you let me know if I need to make any follow up calls?
Thanks.
