Elizabeth, I¹m sorry this is getting so stressful, but Mickacoo can¹t be the only savior for these birds in need neither can Mickaboo for that matter. I was talking to my vet tech today about what¹s going on and he doesn¹t understand why the shelters aren¹t getting more involved in trying to place birds. So my question is is that maybe the next step to educate shelters about how to find new loving homes for birds, the way they do for dogs and cats? I know Andy¹s Pet shop, once they find a new location, will be devoting themselves to finding new homes for pets in need, so maybe it¹s about more community outreach and education and working to get more of the pet stores involved in the process. One of the comments from the LA times article addressed the comment that if pet stores didn¹t sell animals, they couldn¹t sell food. The writer¹s response was, but if you had more adoption fairs, they could still sell the food to take care of the animal they just adopted. As a newcomer to all of this it seems that Mickacoo and Mickaboo are in triage mode, so reacting to needs rather than figuring out if that¹s even the best reaction. Just like the stream about the parrot, that was really just being boarded and someone made a clerical error. If everything is rush to save, rather than finding a bigger way to solve the problem, I¹m not sure it¹s doing anyone any good for the long haul. As Robert said, he¹s running out of enthusiasm, but at least has Clint on his side. Not everyone can find the strength to keep going nor has the bandwidth to do anything, and none of us can healthfully do it forever. I know August is almost here and you wanted us to brainstorm some solutions. Well here¹s my first thoughts towards finding a better way, rather than just fighting fires and always on high alert. If we all go crazy, no one will be helping the birds. As a coach, we always talk about holding the space for our clients to play a bigger game it¹s all about finding a more universal solution, not working harder or longer hours. And Robert, if you and Clint are up to this weekend, great and if you need a break, that¹s ok too. If we all lose our minds, we can¹t help the birds. Sending out all my love and support. And holding the space that a solution will come from one of your brilliant and caring minds. Cheryl
