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!

Subject: We need help...
To: Elizabeth Young
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,

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
cardhttp://www.globalgiving.org/projects/rescue-unwanted-and-abandoned-companion..."
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
donationshttp://www.globalgiving.org/projects/rescue-unwanted-and-abandoned-companion...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
donationhttp://www.globalgiving.org/projects/rescue-unwanted-and-abandoned-companion...
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!
