Fwd: [Mickaboo Discuss] New California law banning the sale of animals in certain areas

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kim Flaherty <kflaherty(a)pacbell.net> Date: Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 8:06 PM Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] New California law banning the sale of animals in certain areas To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Cc: kim(a)idausa.org, kflaherty(a)pacbell.net Hi Bird Heroes, I apologize if this subject has already been discussed on this list, but I just wanted to be sure to spread the word about the new law in California which prohibits the sale of live animals “on any street, highway, public right-of-way, parking lot, carnival, or boardwalk," since it has the potential to prevent the sale of thousands of exotic birds and other animals who are sold throughout the state at flea markets, swap meets, farmers' markets, etc. If you see animals being sold in such places, please contact local law enforcement and also let In Defense of Animals know so that we can follow-up and monitor enforcement of the law. Please also try to document the sale by getting photos and/or video footage. http://www.idablog.org/help-enforce-ban-on-outdoor-sales-of-animals/ Thanks for all you do for our feathered friends. I admire you all so much!! And if you have any questions, please email me directly since I don't always check digest on a daily basis.

Fwd: We need help...

Special non-parrot foster homes needed for parrots with a virus that they can give to other parrots (but not to people, pigeons, doves, dogs, etc.)! Please see message below and I've cc'd Shelley- Mickaboo's expert on the subject (plus story and pictures at the bottom). Thank you for considering and please reach out to other non-parrot homes! Elizabeth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Priya Tuvell <ptuvell(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 3:32 PM Subject: We need help... To: Elizabeth Young <adoptkings(a)gmail.com> Conure team might have 2 birds that have Papilloma virus and we have no where for them to go....one is a mickaboo foster that was just diagnosed, the other is a bird who needs a home as his dad is awaiting a heart transplant and can't care for the bird as much anymore... Pap is only a HOOKBILL disease...but it is ultimately fatal, though birds could live long lives.... We are in desparate need of hospice homes for these birds as we rarely get people who want a pap bird. Medications are usually limited, and of course Mickaboo would pay for all medical expenses... If you know of anyone that doesn't have a parrot, who is willing to help us, could you please let me know? I don't know what else to do....no one else will take these birds if we don't.... Thank You, Priya Ringneck and Rosella Coordinator Conure Co-Coordinator Education Team Help Rico (and Others) This Holiday Season! By Pamela Lee - Development Director [image: Rico and his pal Max]<http://www.globalgiving.org/photo/PRA19494/rico-and-his-pal-max-photo-from-…> Rico and his pal Max Rico is the greenwing macaw at the left of the first picture. Rico has Papilloma, a disease which caused him to have extensive surgery to remove a mass from his mouth earlier this month - and may necessitate additional surgery in his trachea and vent areas. Needless to say, this surgery has been and will be expensive (over $1000 so far). Would you consider helping us earn a grant to pay for it? Mickaboo is in a competition to earn a $1500 Global Giving grant to help pay for this surgery. We are close to earning that grant, and need your help. The grant rewards nonprofits with the most donors giving a "tribute card<http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/rescue-unwanted-and-abandoned-companio…>" in honor of someone else; the tribute card donation can be as little as $10! We need just 15 more people to earn it! Tribute card donations<http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/rescue-unwanted-and-abandoned-companio…>must be made by 9 pm PT on December 31, 2011 to be eligible for this contest. Think of it - your $10 tax-deductible donation can turn into $1500 for Rico and Mickaboo! Of course, the more traditional donation<http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/rescue-unwanted-and-abandoned-companio…> will also be welcome and much appreciated. Thanks to the many who have already contributed toward Rico's care and are helping us in the tribute card contest. Thanks to EVERYONE for your generosity, and enabling Mickaboo to continue its mission on behalf of our feathered friends! Happy Holidays to you and yours!
