Sunday,* April 29, *2012 Noon-4 pm at [image: Omar's logo] New store location: 3301 Wilshire Blvd Santa Monica, CA 310-571-2473 Seeking funds for cages and events * * We're getting some cages donated by manufacturers but we'll need at least a dozen more for the launch. The new date will give us additional time to raise funds to buy them, about $5000, and cover additional expenses for the three LA area launch events (Santa Monica, San Fernando valley, Orange county). Any amount will help. Note: It's not just the number of birds we'll be helping on site, but the thousands of parrot owners that will subsequently buy larger cages from our awareness-rising efforts and press coverage of the events. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109505726497&s=3068&e=001rpEgvko6mnwPraOK_jpO…> <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109505726497&s=3068&e=001rpEgvko6mnwPraOK_jpO…>[image: Donate]<https://www.paypal.com/cgibin/webscr?first_name=&last_name=&undefined_quant…> (Paypal page may say "sales(a)parrotpress.net" but it will appear on your credit card account as CageXChange.com and the funds go to the non-profit earmarked for the campaign) Omar helps stem unwanted parrot crisis by offering pre-owned parrots in his stores! Omar Gonzalez, owner of Omar's Exotic Birds, will be exclusively featuring pre-owned and rescued parrots in his store that day! And, as a result of participating in the campaign, and his desire to help solve the unwanted parrot crisis, he will feature 80% pre-owned parrots in his stores from now on! Rescuers, we are seeking parrots for Omar's three stores in the LA area. Home checks will be performed for adopters, as needed, and half of the adoption fee will be donated to your rescue. Omar already requires all birds purchased from him to be returned to him if their owners can't keep them. And, he gives free feather and nail trims for the life of the bird, so he monitors the birds he sells on a regular basis for years afterwards. Feel free to provide Info(a)CageXChange.com to any parrot owners wishing to relinquish their birds. And be sure they say you referred them for the donation! Renowned parrot behavior expert, Dr. Cheryl Meehan, Ph.D., has joined the Parrot Care Project! Cheryl Meehan holds a Ph.D. in Animal Behavior from the University of California, Davis, where she was also associate director of the Center for Animal Welfare. Meehan also holds a key place in the scientific study of captive parrots. Meehan was one of the handful of scientists involved with the Psittacine Research Project at the University of California, Davis, the only long-running university research program on parrot behavior. These studies demonstrated the impact of environmental and social factors on the behavior, well-being, and development of parrots.

Hi, Does anyone have the cycles and desire to take on the below? Jonathan? Maggie? Patti? --VH From: discuss-bounces(a)mickaboo.org [mailto:discuss-bounces@mickaboo.org] On Behalf Of Vincent J. Hrovat Sent: Sunday, February 26, 2012 8:08 AM To: 'General mickaboo discussion' Subject: Re: [Mickaboo Discuss] Fwd: ANNOUNCING THE PARROT CARE PROJET & NATIONAL CAGE XCHANGE CAMPAIGN >it mentioned that some parrots are released to fend for themselves, >and that there are wild flocks breeding and thriving, without talking >about how low a pet bird's chances are of surviving in the wild. This sounds like an opportunity for a well-written letter to either the editor or the writer of this article, on Mickaboo's behalf. Here are some talking points: 1.) Most parrots (and most species of parrot-type bird) won't survive outdoors after having lived in captivity. 2.) It's illegal to release non-native species of bird to the wild anyway, and it may also be illegal from an animal cruelty perspective (needs research). 3.) The wild flocks do have some problems as non-native species Does anyone feel like taking this on? --VH

Thanks all. I will STFU (acronym which stands for "not talk") about this in out- facing forums and social networks, etc. until we have a better feel for how and if we want to align Mickaboo with this. --VH Original Message: ----------------- From: Elizabeth Young adoptkings(a)gmail.com Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2012 13:09:05 -0800 To: media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org Subject: Re: [Media-advisors] Fwd: ANNOUNCING THE PARROT CARE PROJET &NATIONAL CAGE XCHANGE CAMPAIGN I don't know anything about Omar's and I don't know if this is related but when I last spoke with Mira about this project (a couple of months ago), she mentioned how she was making an end run around the breeders' and pet stores' lobby groups' (or whatever you call them) opposition by focusing on the cages. Her intention was to show consumers just how much space and how costly it is to take proper care of your parrots. Her intent was to help as many as she could that are already in cages to have a better life while at the same time discouraging as many people as possible from ever buying a bird. I believe she plans to have people bring in their old cages (to different sites on different dates) and exchange them for much bigger, better cages (but at low cost) which she is getting at a huge discount somehow (part of the end run). She also expects to gain lots of data/proof/photos on how inappropriate the cages are for most birds and to use that in future efforts. It is my understanding that Mira doesn't believe birds belong in the pet trade and that she doesn't support (and in fact opposes) breeders. I'll share additional info if I get it.

I notice one posting says the rescuers are working to improve the birds' long lives, and the rest are improving "their" long lives. We should live as long as some of our birds! -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, February 22, 2012 10:37:17 am To: "Mickaboo media advisor team" <media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org> From: "Jonathan Harris" <jonathanharris(a)earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [Media-advisors] Fwd: ANNOUNCING THE PARROT CARE PROJET & NATIONAL CAGE XCHANGE CAMPAIGN Yeah, I just got this too.

It had been put in when it was young and kept there until it was too big to exit the small door. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common. An estimated 90% of all pet birds - from parakeets to macaws - are living in cages that are too small for them. 1 in 10 pet birds feather plucks, an aberrant and painful behavior never seen in wild parrots. Smaller people don't live in smaller houses and smaller birds shouldn't live in smaller cages. All pet birds, regardless of their size, need to be in the largest space possible. In the wild, parakeets, cockatiels, and finches, can fly faster and further than Amazons and macaws. If anything, the former need large cages to fulfill their inherent energy and need for quick flight and movement. The fact that a bird can fit into a cage, doesn't mean it should. That's the main message of this campaign. Our campaign aims to change the way we view and care for parrots. For the first time in the US there are now cage-size minimum standards that parrot owners across the country can adopt. The last national campaign for birds of any species was 125 years ago, in 1886 when the National Audubon Society was founded to save egrets, herons, and other native bird populations that were being decimated for their feathers to decorate wealthy ladies' hats. Audubon was successful in saving millions of birds extinction. This multi-year Cage xChange Campaign can be just as impactful to the lives of the estimated 30 million pet parrots (many of which are endangered species) living in North America today. <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1109355902402&s=2305&e=0018OqBHPZGaZ1EXzucdcs9…> Read on...

> we should be prepared to respond if there are false or inflammatory statements I agree but would add that there might be some inflammatory statements that deserve to be ignored. I'll be glad to see a dialog build up about what Mickaboo does, and how and why we do it, and I agree that we should be ready to respond professionally as appropriate and in alignment with our mission and principles. Based on my experience, many of the responses in forums like these are from either deliberately mean-spirited trolls who are looking to get a rise out of others, or narrow-minded, kneejerk ideologues. Patti, thanks for writing this story and for the work that you have done with Muriel. I don't know her story yet but assume that I will tonight or tomorrow. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web LIVE Free email based on Microsoft® Exchange technology - http://link.mail2web.com/LIVE
