Thanks Elizabeth and Scott. Does anyone have a more direct email address for
Eileen Mitchell than the home@sfchronicle.com that is given in her Pet Tales
articles? I am going to use the latter unless I hear otherwise within the
next few hours.
Thanks.

Subject: [Media-advisors] Rio follow-up
I posted this to discuss earlier today but got no responses. 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.
