*We could hand out coupons for free Mickaboo bird classes!* That is a BRILLIANT idea. I think we should have business cards that double as coupons for free Mickaboo classes! e On Thu, Jan 13, 2011 at 10:00 PM, Karen Watkins wrote:

It would be a great opportunity to talk to families and young couples about birds before they run to Petco and buy a sun conure. We would encourage them to start with cockatiels and budgies if they insist on getting a bird. Then we encourage them to rescue a bird rather than buy from a store.

The possibility of doing something like this likely would depend both on our message and where the theater was situated. Anything that smacks of an informational picket (which a critique of the movie might imply) won't be well received or tolerated. Moreover, if the theater is in a shopping center (mall), that is legally private property, not a public street, and they can deny access to anyone; there is no freedom of speech guaranteed there.

It is possible to set up tables at individual theaters by contacting theater managers. I know one corporation asked their sales people to sell product at movie theaters when a movie with links to their product came out. It would have to be educational in order to be a positive addition to the movie-goers experience.

It takes some time to set up but it looks like we have prep time. We need
