Many have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it.

• 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.
