Don’t breed, don’t buy... adopt a rescued bird!

Featured bird: Coco
Hi! I'm the new bird on the block! I landed in my last home by accident and sheer luck. I was a stray and somehow lost my long tail feathers and was grounded near a freeway when along came some nice folk who said "Wow, what is a Blue & Gold macaw doing sitting on that pile of dirt?" It was me - wings and landing gear in tact but rudder missing. I have been seen by an avian vet and I am good to go. The other good news is I am friendly, interactive, chatty (including some "potty mouth" words), and know how to step up. With or without the long macaw tail feathers, I am just one fabulous bird and hope some of you will want to meet me in the very near future. Stay tuned for updates.

  • Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue will host a Foraging Seminar featuring
    Brian Speer, DVM, DAVBP-Av, ECAMS.
    Dr. Speer's presentation is designed to help parrot guardians focus on how to keep their feathered companions busy by foraging for food. Foraging opportunities often help redirect negative behavior in parrots. Come and learn more about how parrots think and behave, and how you can be a better parrot guardian.
    Date: June 29, 2008
    Time: 1:30-3:30PM
    Location: Pacifica Community Center, 540 Crespi Drive, Pacifica, CA 94044
    Registration Fee: $25

  • Mickaboo tries to respond to all requests for help, but those requests are exceeding our financial and foster home resources. We currently have over 200 birds in foster care and our monthly vet bills in the first quarter of 2008 averaged $10,000. As a result, we need to consider intake requests on a case by case basis.


If you would like to make a donation to help with these expenses, you may do so here via Network for Good, or by sending a check to P.O. Box 697, San Jose, CA 95106-0697 .

If you have a healthy, socialized bird that needs a new home, please read our tips on Finding Your Bird a New Home.

Thank you for visiting our site. We hope you'll support us in helping these amazingly special birds.
