Rescue Unwanted and Abandoned Companion Birds

We would like to tell you about a special conure, and how YOU can help us save birds like him through matching gift events like the one in progress now through 9 pm PT.  The more you give (up to $1000 per donor), the higher the match (while funds last)!

• Donations of $100-$499 will be matched at 30%
• Donations of $500-$749 will be matched at 40%
• Donations of $750-$1000 will be matched at 50% (woohoo!)

While all donations are welcome, please consider making a special one-time gift now to leverage this matching opportunity. Your gift helps birds like Luca, the half-moon conure pictured here.

A Good Samaritan found Luca while he was being attacked by a cat! He looked truly awful, with several cuts, puncture wounds, and missing feathers, and he was seriously underweight. Cat saliva is very dangerous to birds, so he was given medical treatment immediately after Mickaboo received him. After his physical recovery, he was an extremely skittish bird. It seemed unlikely he had had any positive interactions with humans before.

After several months of loving care, we have seen a HUGE improvement in his confidence level, and Luca has been adopted! Once he was on a good diet for a while, his feathers molted out cleanly and the damage to his beak grew out without issue. (See Luca's "after" pictures!) Thanks to fast medical action, Luca has no long-term effects from his injuries. He is getting lots of love and attention from his new adopter, who is happy to give him time to adjust. He's started eating with his 'flock', and is much more relaxed then he was when he first arrived.

Please take advantage of today's matching gift event to help us help Luca and the other beautiful, intelligent birds in our care. Every dollar counts, and gifts of $100 or more today will go even further. All of our volunteers and our birds thank you for your consideration!
