After the birdwatchers did a more accurate count, the "Twelve Days of Christmas" needed to be rewritten and recorded.  Where are the Ray Conniff Singers* when you need them?

*-The Ray Conniff Singers recorded what I consider to be the definitive version of that song way back in 1962.  Mr. Conniff died in 2002 at the age of 85.
 

Rhymes With Orange from one year ago today.  Edgar Allan Poe would be so proud.

Final update: Thanks to your collective generosity, we raised $3,637 in the Holiday Party Challenge Grant.  That amount will pay for about 3 days' veterinary expenses at our now-current rate.  Our birds and our volunteers appreciate your contributions!

The Mickaboo Holiday Party Challenge Grant has begun!

Inspired by #GivingTuesday, a generous donor is sponsoring this Challenge Grant. For every $2 donated now online or in person until 9 pm Pacific Time today, $1 will be given to Mickaboo by the donors, until we have raised $5,000 (when matching funds run out).  With this financial help, we will be able to pay for the vet exams of about 25  birds - a wonderful gift.

If you're at or coming to the party - consider donating there.  Watch our thermometer chart!

If you can't come and want to help birds like Sienna (cockatiel pictured with a wing cast) - give online during the same timeframe, now until 9 pm today. We will update our Facebook page throughout the party. Stay tuned!

This is from six years ago, apparently part of a series (since it has a month-day date) but I can't find any information on a strip name, etc.  Enjoy anyway!
