Thanks to your continued support, we have been able to continue our work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing companion birds. This year marks our TWENTIETH anniversary as an all-volunteer organization - can you believe it?!
YOUR donations and the work of our many dedicated volunteers are what make Mickaboo work for our birds, day in and day out. Our flock of waiting-for-adoption rescued birds numbers over 500! Your donation this week to keep the miracle going can go further – a unique matching gift event is underway NOW. From April 3, 6 am - April 7, 9 pm PT, GlobalGiving will match your online donations at 50%, up to $50 per donor per project, until GlobalGiving has given away $50,000 of matching funds for all of its projects. Go to Mickaboo's GlobalGiving page to take advantage of this opportunity.
Your donations help birds like Yolo Grey ("YG"). A shelter asked Mickaboo to take YG as she was in a too-small cage, in a shelter more suited to dogs and cats. Volunteers arranged a three-part "birdie train" over two days to transport her 125 miles to her foster home. YG has settled in nicely with her enthusiastic foster family. Mickaboo is actively looking for the human who may have lost her, before we proceed with finding her a new adoptive home.
YG is probably a female and speaks English words in a woman's voice. She appears to be in excellent health. We'll be taking her in for a veterinary check-up to be sure.
Would you consider taking advantage of this matching gift opportunity to help us help YG and other birds? We hope you will, and will consider spreading the word to the bird-lovers in your social circles!
