[Mickaboo Action] We need a new tagline----

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!

If it has wings and a beak, we'll take care of it! On second thoughts, maybe not. I have a mental image of a man in giant costume wings demanding a new home. ::glances at Tom:: heehee ~ Ailsa (who will try to think of a serious suggestion, I promise!)

This doesn't capture it exactly, but how about something general like "Caring for all kinds of deserving birds since 19__(don't remember what year M-boo was founded, sorry!) Not attached to the idea...just trying to get the creative juices flowing and that's what popped into my head first. Raelene

I agree with Michele R. that the date info doesn't buy us anything or say what makes us special. I like Sherry's first one too! On 1/2/07, Robbie wrote:

I like this one, but I also like Raelene and Tammy's way of incorporating how long we've been around. I think that's important - and we should have made a bigger fuss of the 10-year mark last year too! Drat, I had no idea! ~ Ailsa

If you don't mind me jumping in: I reallly like this one. Also, not sure if we need to put the date. So many animal welfare org have been around for more than 50 years that I don't think we "buy" anything by advertising Mickaboo has been around for 11. Michele Raffin
