Our goals are: -To ensure that birds in our care will have a safe, loving environment for life.- To educate bird owners on the most current standard of care, so that the medical, emotional, and dietary needs of their birds will be met. At Mickaboo, our underlying principle is that Every Bird Gets An Equal Chance. Once a bird is in our care, we provide all the medical and supportive care that s/he requires.
