An anonymous budgie-loving supporter is providing $750 to incent GlobalGiving donations, with the hope that Mickaboo will regain its "most donors" first place position in today's GlobalGiving fundraising event.
GlobalGiving donations between now and 9 pm PT will be matched at 50% by this Challenge Grant! Give now here!
Thanks to the support of many many generous people - over 60 of you - we have raised almost $15K toward our $20K fundraising goal. All of our birds are deeply appreciative that so many people care about them!
There's still $7K in matching funds left! Give today at this donation page to have your gift go farther, propelled by the 30% matching offered by GlobalGiving. Share the link with a friend - doing so can help us win the "most donors" prize offered today.
Send questions to donations@mickaboo.org. Thank you for your generosity!
Thanks to the support of many many generous people - over 50 of you, in fact! - we have raised almost $12K toward our $20K fundraising goal. Birds like Lucy, the Patagonian Conure pictured at right, benefit from your assistance.
Lucy had a sudden drastic lack of appetite. Not even a whole almond could get her attention! And then she started vomiting. Very scary! She was hospitalized for almost two weeks while the vets worked on her diagnosis. After multiple x-rays and other procedures, they found a bad infection in her esophagus. We have been treating Lucy for six weeks with five medications and still have a long road ahead toward a full recovery.
Help us help Lucy and our other birds, so they can eventually be placed in "forever" homes, by giving today at this donation page. Share the link with a friend - doing so can help us win the "most donors" prize offered today.

Part four of the six-part Mutts story is missing from my archives, but we continue with part five from March 22, 2013.
Because of your continued support, Mickaboo has been able to continue our work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing companion birds. We have accepted 75 and adopted out 87 birds so far this year, while caring for a flock of 450 birds, from the smallest finch to the largest amazon.
YOUR help and that of our many dedicated volunteers are what make Mickaboo's rehabilitation work possible. Your donation today can go further– a matching gift event is underway today (Sept 16), 6 am - 9 pm PT. GlobalGiving will match your online donations at 30%, up to $1,000 per donor, until GlobalGiving's $70,000 in matching funds runs out. Give early to help ensure YOU get the match! -AND- today's bonus event features three extra prizes for the most people giving today - help us win it by inviting a friend to give along with you!
Your gifts help birds like Bashful. About 37 years old, Bashful is a lovely blue front amazon that sings "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and "Old McDonald", and can bark, meow, and whistle. She prefers men and does well with women. She steps up and is a healthy, older bird.
Please consider taking advantage of today's matching gift opportunity to help Bashful and our other birds heal.
Part three of a week's worth of Mutts, from March 20, 2013. I know this entry makes it obvious that this was a "birds returning in the spring" story arc, but since birds sing like it's springtime all-year round, I'm doing it now anyway.
Part two of the Mutts story arc, from March 19, 2013.
We haven't done a story arc from Mutts in a while, so here is one from a couple of years ago (you are forewarned that I am missing one strip from the series), starting with March 18, 2013:

Speed Bump from September 29, 2010 ... wouldn't you have thought Noah was a vegetarian?
