The two macaws from So. California are going to a rescue in Vancouver, Canada. Still need help with the other opportunities.

Hi! It has been a few days since I've asked for anything so here I am. We have the possibility of an amazon (species unknown at this time) returning to Mickaboo from his/her adoptive home very soon. From the owner's viewpoint this is a difficult and unfriendly bird. Often though a change of environment can make a world of difference. Would anyone be willing to short term foster this bird until we are able to assess its true temperament? The bird is located closer to Sacto than SF so a foster home in that area would be appreciated.
This is a big WHAT IF. We have been approached by a Southern California surrenderer to take two large macaws - a Miligold (Military/Blue & Gold hybrid) and a Scarlet. The distance may make it impossible to arrange a transfer but if the birds could be driven to Northern California is there anyone who would foster these guys?
Here is another big bird opportunity: I have begun working with a family who is surrendering a 10 year old Greenwing Macaw named "Chuckles". It is our intention to have this wonderful friendly gorgeous big guy adopted into a home with another large macaw and where large indoor and outdoor aviary activity areas are in place. This bird is fully flighted and used to some opportunities to use those big wings. The owners will foster until an adopter is selected. Large macaw experience required for this adoption.
If any of these opportunities sound of interest please contact me soonest. Thanks.
