Hi! In February, 2022, Mickaboo rescued 177 finches from an aviary. It was poorly maintained, with severe overcrowding, no hygiene, poor diet and not a fun place to be a finch! The person who owned the aviary had some health changes and was going into hospital. Mickaboo only had one afternoon to come and get all of us out. It was a pretty big job but they did it.
You can watch a video about that rescue here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cZpWRA3FwM
Since Mickaboo came to rescue us all we`ve been enjoying fresh romaine and herbs, a nice mix of pellets with our seed, and lots of fresh water to bathe in, instead of water bottles. Over time we`ve all moved into smaller groups to be in foster homes in nice flight cages where we can still buzz around but we are safe and getting a much cleaner place to live!
We are a group of 6 gents who enjoy a nice "HQ Flight Cage". It`s 31" x 22" and we can zip around in it nicely. We might be a little rough looking and some of us are plucked, but we love hanging out on our swings and beeping all day and preening each other. If you would enjoy hearing our little beeps and getting to know us, ask about us and we`d love to meet you! Beep beep!
