Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue is proud to announce our upcoming Adoption Fair featuring the members of the Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Mickaboo takes in the sick and injured members of the Wild Parrot flock, providing them with the medical attention and care they need. Many of these birds are juveniles or disabled adults, neither of which can be released safely back into the wild flock, so they need adoptive and foster homes. Mickaboo has taken in over 60 members of the flock since 2003, and we currently have 18 waiting for loving homes. Come to the Fair and meet some of these fabulous Telegraph Hill parrots in person!

2PM to 2:45PM – Meet and Greet with Mickaboo – Meet the folks involved in caring for the Wild Flock members.

2:45PM  to 3:45PM – Lecture – Mickaboo’s involvement with the flock, history of the flock, and what we have learned from working with the Flock. Topics will include how the Flock is affected by living in San Francisco, how they wind up with Mickaboo, and Flock member biographies.

3:45PM to 4:30PM – Class – Behavior and Care-- How is working with a Wild Flock member different than other companion birds? Learn about their special needs as pets in your home, and how to work with them.

4:30PM to 6:30PM – Q & A session – Meet the Birds - Get information about Mickaboo's Adoption Policies.
