Hello-
There is a beautiful eclectus
parrothttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclectus_Parrotthat has a fatal
disease. But he may have a couple of happy years left to
live if Mickaboo http://www.mickaboo.org can find him a home. Right now
we need a short term home immediately to save him from euthanasia. Then
we'll have time to find him long-term hospice care (if you're not ready to
commit to that). Mickaboo will expedite the review and approval process and
provide vet care for this poor bird. He must be in a non-bird home because
his illness is contagious (to birds only- not people).
PLEASE share this request throughout your networks!
Thank you!
Elizabeth

Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Responsibility -- Urgent
To: discuss
All,
I put "responsibility" in the subject line because that is so often the
underlying reason for why we do things the way we do in Mickaboo. Taking
responsibility for a companion bird means giving him or her a home for life,
adequate medical care, and a good diet. It means loving them no matter
what. We try to teach it by providing an example.
Sometimes it means doing the right thing, no matter how sad it is.
Someone has contacted us about a male eclectus that has tested positive for
PBFD. The owner has other birds and must move the ekkie. If she cannot
find a home for him, she will have to euthanize him. He is said to be a
gentle bird.
PBFD is always fatal if the bird contracts the disease (sometimes testing
positive just means that the bird was exposed), which we believe is the case
in this circumstance.
If you have or know of a home that has no birds, or only has birds with
PBFD, please consider contacting the family and asking them to consider
taking him in. Mickaboo will provide medical care. We need a home that
will give him care and comfort for whatever time remains.
Thank you for considering this request.
Michelle
