As a 100% volunteer-run organization, Mickaboo regularly highlights invaluable members of the team. This month, we feature Michele Kraemer (shown at left with her sun conure Pup Pup), who began volunteering just last year and already wears multiple hats. We gratefully acknowledge Michele as an asset to our team and thank her for all her efforts! View in a new window

After hearing the sad news about long-time volunteer Louisa Jaskulski’s passing, the Mickaboo community turned its attention to rehoming the Mickaboo alumni birds that Louisa had lovingly cared for.

Shortly before the holiday season, Mickaboo learned of Bird, a Severe Macaw, whose human had moved out of state and left him behind. Bird was temporarily housed in a family member’s apartment, but he was not receiving the care and attention he needed to thrive. The report was that Bird “wasn’t happy” and that if a new home wasn’t found before the holidays, Bird could be left without adequate care for weeks. View in a new window
