GlobalGiving's matching funds have run out! Thanks to your generosity, we raised $5400 (including matching funds) while the event lasted. That's about a week's worth of vet bills!

Thanks to your continued support, Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue has been able to continue our work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing companion birds.  We have accepted 48 and adopted out 65 birds so far this year, while caring for a flock of ~450. (See photos and read stories about many of our birds here.)

Snoopy has the tables turned on him by a wild bird in this early Peanuts strip from September 1, 1953.

(This strip was originally uploaded in black and white, but a colorized version became available in late 2017 and I replaced it here.)

Today is the last day to become a charter Supporting Donor, someone whose monthly contributions create the foundation for our operations.  An anonymous donor, Quita the parrotlet’s owner, will be providing matching funds for both new and increased monthly donations. Help our rescued birds - over 90% of all our donations pays for their ongoing veterinary expenses.
