I`m Matthew the military macaw. I just came to Mickaboo in July of 2024; I was a very needy bird who was very lucky to end up where I am now.

In some ways, my story mirrors that of the protagonist in the Soft Doctrines of Imaginos. I was left to die, abandoned outdoors, emaciated in a holocaust of warm weather. Becalmed in virtue and lost to nothing, all I had left was my will to live. I recall being almost unconscious and dreaming the dream of Luxor when as if by call or schedule, a veterinarian found me. She got me indoors, got me cooled down and began administering hydration. Within a few hours of the fluids arriving, I was much more chipper, losing myself in rebirth but still in rough shape.

The veterinarian who found me did all the right things for me. I spent a few days with her before being taken in by one of Mickaboo`s preferred avian veterinarians. I`m still settling in and have a way to go before I`ll be ready for adoption, but I`m getting stronger every day.

So ladies, fish and gentlemen, here`s my angled dream: please check back soon to see how I`m doing. And please consider donating to Mickaboo to help birds like me!
