My first thought on this is what commitment are we requiring from the foster homes? I know we don't want to have dilettantes taking the birds for a week and returning them because they got their lesson. I suppose I should read our documents, but in the meantime, do we have a minimal time expectation for foster homes? Especially given how long some birds are in foster care? -----Original Message----- Date: Saturday, April 30, 2011 11:14:22 am To: "Elizabeth Young" <adoptkings(a)gmail.com>,"Mickaboo media advisor team" <media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org> From: "Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris(a)earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [Media-advisors] Rio follow-up Thanks, Elizabeth. ?Foster First? is an interesting turn of phrase and an even more intriguing concept. I had not thought about it quite so formally, but you make me wonder if it could indeed become the slogan of a new PR campaign. It?s catchy, it could be marketed with real-life testimonials, videos, web postings and press releases. It?s the sort of thing that might appeal to parents. It could capture some of the energy and enthusiasm of "Rio" but steer moviegoers' naïve birdie-lust toward more constructive work, raise public awareness, and maybe help relieve the backlog of fosters and backup on intakes we and other rescues currently face. That would be Win Win and Win.

I just thought that Lynne's find of another parrot rescue doing some sort of event around Rio would be interesting to the group. I have ZERO bandwidth to contribute towards this beyond my opinion that leveraging the movie in whatever ways Mickaboo can to help get the parrot rescue idea out would be great. e Elizabeth Y www.RescueReport.org www.MickaCoo.org -----Original Message----- From: Vincent J.

I have no idea if the studio would be involved anymore or how that would work. I guess this boils down to what's in it for Mickaboo in terms of either revenues or getting our message out. Maybe Elizabeth can describe what opportunity she sees here, since she posted this to the media group. I know I promised to work on a web article and hope to have a draft for review tonight. --VH

Rio private screening
by Lee, Pamela A 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

If I read between the lines - when I read the online version, the only explicit mention of monies going to nonprofits is via the raffle. I'm guessing (but it's only a guess) the $20 is covering the movie house's normal admission + popcorn + soda + "private showing" privilege. And I wonder if the nonprofit is on the hook for a guaranteed seating number. Would be QUITE nice if a theatre donated a whole showing - ticket cost and all - to Mickaboo! - Pam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.

To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> In the latest newsletter from The Oasis there is an ad for a "private screening" of Rio in Scottsdale, AZ put on by 2 AZ bird groups (SeedCrackers Society and Chirping Central). They are charging $20, including popcorn and soda. I can't tell exactly what kind of venue it is - just says Harkins Scottsdale Fashion 7 in Fashion Square. The funds raised are to benefit the SeedCrackers and the Lear's macaw.

Sorry to have not replied to your post on this to the GD. I think it is a GREAT idea (though I think the Drs.' one was too wordy). Karen is the owner of Harvest Home (farm) Animal Sanctuary and I'm not sure what if any relationship she has with that paper but I can check. I'd also suggest Linda Goldston of SJ Merc, Gary Bogue of CC Times and whatever SF Chron writers did pieces about the pet sale ban. Go, Vinny!

For now I am proceeding to write the article / web page in question. I should have a straw man for discussion by tomorrow evening. If somebody else is motivated to take this on, please let me know. Also I am contacting Eileen Mitchell from the Chron and will ask Maggie Rufo if she can work this into an article for the Marin IJ. Does anyone else have any media contacts that they think we should ping? Elizabeth, how about Karen Courtemanche from the Stockton Examiner? Any others that you have worked with recently? Previously posted material below: http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/general.cfm?general_pagesid=197 A subsidiary of Dr. Foster-Smith did this web page to address the increased demand for clown fish as fallout from the Finding Nemo movie. I think we should consider using this as a template for a similar page about parrot ownership vis-à-vis the movie Rio. We could set such a page up on our outfacing web site and/or facebook with crosslinks, etc. We might even consider this a press release. Thoughts or constructive comments? Does anyone want to draft such a page? It would contain a lot of information that we already have available elsewhere, but tailoring it to the potential interest in birds as fallout from Rio would help generate a bigger audience. We might fair-use a couple of pictures from the movie (if our gc feels safe with that), and compare-contrast them with pictures of real rescued macaws that are plucked, aggressive, etc. Thanks.

Patti Blau probably does - since she submitted an article to Pet Tales relatively recently. -Pam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message w/attachments (message) is intended solely for the use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain information that is privileged, confidential or proprietary.
