My Nonprofit Reviews

The Mickaboo volunteer team has been working creatively to allow rescues and adoptions to proceed within the limitations imposed by the pandemic. I have been very impressed with the move to virtual home visits, online classes, virtual adoption fairs, and other virtual events. Birds still need homes and people still want to adopt!

I adopted a parrot through Mickaboo at the end of 2018. While the interview, class, and home visit needed to adopt seemed a barrier at the time, I now know why those are so important. Caring for a parrot is a much bigger undertaking than caring for a canary! I appreciate also that Mickaboo volunteers are there and available, with wide experience to provide advice should I need it. The foster parents do an amazing job getting birds healthy and ready to adopt-it’s a huge effort!
