Hi folks,****
We received a $2500 grant from Banfield recently. We have a request for info (below) so they can publicize our work. Anyone up for handling this? Please let me know today/tomorrow ? my plan B is, per usual, to take it on myself. i?ll borrow heavily from our already-published newsletters, and ping folks. ****

Let me know if you?re up for this by emailing pambudgie@yahoo.com. Thanks for considering!****

Greetings, Pamela:
I?d like to do a story on the grant we recently gave to your great organization. I?m hoping you or someone in your organization can answer these questions in the next week or two. To help, I?ve jumped started some of the questions with content pulled from your application. Please feel free to edit as you see fit. And I would love to include 2-3 photos of birds you?ve helped through this program, if possible. ****
*What inspired you to start Mickaboo?*****
In 1996, I was working as a veterinary technician and saw so much neglect and mistreatment of smaller, inexpensive species of birds like cockatiels and budgies. I felt compelled to engage the community on a level that could help these victimized birds on a larger scale. That passion and concern led to the formation of MCBR.****
****
*Where does the name Mickaboo come from?*****
****
*Since many of us don?t have companion birds, how would you describe the bond between a companion bird and their human family? Do humans get the same kinds of emotional and physical benefits of bonding with a companion bird as they would with a dog or cat?*****
****
*What are the different services that Mickaboo now provides?*****
We provide behavioral consultation and retention assistance, bird care education, in-home foster care for surrendered birds (over 1,000 in 2011 alone), avian vet care for sick or injured birds in shelters, foster homes, or found abandoned, outreach and public relations to make people aware of our programs. We also recruit bird adopters and foster care providers. At any one time, we are overseeing more than 300 foster birds in our network that includes hundreds of volunteers.****
****
*Do you have a story of a particular bird that Mickaboo has helped that you could share to illustrate your work and the challenges companion birds face with unprepared owners?*****
* *****
*For companion bird guardians that are struggling with a bird right now?what three things would you encourage them to do to help improve their relationship?*****
* *****
