Dennis is VERY Mickaboo. He and Yvonne have fostered many big birds including Ed and Freda the greenwing macaws and Roxy the U2. Dennis has been active in getting support from the local media. Our appearances on Good Day Sacramento have been all his doing. He also got us a spot on KFBK radio for an earlier adopt fair. PLus, as you can see from the video, he is a very good speaker.

Dennis Newhall did a great job representing Mickaboo on TV at least once:

I don’t know, is he “non-Mickaboo?” We can teach him the handshake. I say bring him on, FWIW.

If we are considering what other volunteers would add value to this list, I think that Wayne Coburn, who is savvy about navigating web 2 media space and using SEO, and Maggie Rufo, who has done a lot of writing for Marin IJ and Sally Blanchard, among others, would also be good candidates if they have the time.

Thanks.

Hi media-savvy folks;

Can someone go over the questions that Doug is going to ask me on Wednesday and let me know if there are specific talking points you want me to go over, particularly in the education and bird well being area?

I also need some happy ending stories. :)

Hi Matt,

Here is the script I wrote for this show. Let me know how you like it. Thanks.

Script for Matt Linton Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue

My intro: I love to watch the animal segments on late night talk shows. Yet they always seem so rushed. Just as one animal settles down and gets comfortable, out he goes and in comes another. On our show we like to really get to know our special guests. Today we have a volunteer from Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue. Let’s meet Matt Linton and his friend Socrates. Welcome. What a beautiful cockatoo.

You have had Socrates for 11 years now. What do you know about his history?

Did he adapt easily to his new home or did he have trouble?

Not only did you adopt a bird, but you also became a volunteer after seeing how you could fill a need in the operation. What did you do?

Mickaboo is not looking to take in any more birds now. What do they need?

We have a conure so we can relate to the story about the wild parrots of Telegraph Hill. We didn’t know about Mickaboo’s involvement. Please go into that for us.

You mentioned to me that when you started as a volunteer Mickaboo took in about 50 birds and now it is up to around 400. What factors have caused the big increase?

Which types of birds should people really think twice about before deciding to adopt?

Mickaboo has a lost and found posted on the website. Are there any success stories that you can share?

Are there any general warnings about a bird’s wellness and light conditions that people should know?

Tell us about Mickacoo?

What is your favorite Mickaboo story? (one with a happy ending) have caused the big increase?

Soc will probably sit on my lap or arm, though I will bring a carrier for him. He has a leash he can wear.

I'm going to ask our whole team to answer question #2 so I can have the organizations' perspective on the 5 topics to cover.

Your ideas are very sound about why bird behavior changes.

Will you bring a perch for Socrates or will he sit on the cage or? Will there be another volunteer?

What do you think the public should know that may not have been covered yet in the media? If you could list maybe 5 topics that you really want to cover in this half hour, that will be helpful. i want to do a good show for Micaboo and one where people will sit up and listen. I welcome your ideas. Is there anything you would like to demonstrate.

One of the things that I found out that I didn't know is that birdseed was not the best food for my conure. I had to change to pellets with seeds as a treat.

All the Best, Darlene
