Emma the Goffins Cockatoo I'm here trying to get adopted! Learn more about me & my rescue, Mickaboo's, 4-step adoption process

03/09/2024

Good morning, friends!

I'm getting more comfortable with my ceiling mounted play area every day. I willingly touched a perch on my avi hang (the white piece next to where I am on my boing). Soon I'll be flying around & landing on it.

19/08/2024

Hi Friends! I climbed up on my boing on my own today, which I've started to do more often in the past week. My foster parents expanded my play area quite a bit above my cage. I'm still getting used to my Avi-Hang, which doesn't stay put & swings around so scares me a little bit. I'll get more confident as I get used to it.

Have a great week. Learn more about adopting me if you live in northern Calif at www.mickaboo.org.

Hi Friends! Happy Sunday!

I'm really enjoying my breakfast salad today, especially the spaghetti squash slices.

Hi Friends! I hope you're enjoying your summer and staying cool. I'm grateful my foster mom has air conditioning. I tried this riced cauliflower stir fry with bell pepper, carrots, peas, and corn and really enjoyed it! Vegetables can be fun to eat after all! Who knew?

I'm still looking for my forever home in northern California. You can learn more about adopting me at www.mickaboo.org

Happy Friday, Friends! I've been enjoying having my cage in different locations while my foster parents try to keep my hormones calm. Today I've been looking out the backdoor and enjoying the sunshine when it comes out.

Hi Friends! I've had a busy winter, but I'm still here, ready to be adopted from www.mickaboo.org! I learned a new game & I love it! This game helps me learn how to accept being toweled if I need to at the vet!

Hello Friends! I just got home from a ride in my hiking backpack to the storage facility of my parrot rescue. I love to go out and see different things and meet different people!

Go to www.mickaboo.org to learn about adopting me in California!

Hi Friends! I'm doing so great learning that it pays off to stay on my perch when the humans are eating and quietly eat my own food. AND I am even accepting steamed spinach as a reinforcer. Go me.

Good day, Friends! I'm a whiz when it comes to learning from clicker training! I travel many feet to touch a target now. We've moved on to practicing my inside voice during meals. I'm learning (1) not to scream and (2) to eat my own food when the humans are eating. In the 1st video, I get a click and treat (a bit of my pumpkin slice) after a variable number of seconds of quiet waiting. I yelp when approached after the click so my trainer briefly turns away and gives me another chance (this was allowed at 1st because I *was* quiet and that behavior- or lack thereof- was tagged, but the yelp wasn't going away as of a couple days ago. Foster moms get to make executive decisions). In the 2nd video, I get a click and treat for eating my own food while the human eats theirs. This is going very well! We are about 6 days in.

Hi Friends! It's been a while. I had a fun Halloween and Gratitude Day. Now I am enjoying the aftermath, last night in the form of Indian pumpkin curry. Who knew I liked eating pumpkin (after it being under cool water and the sauce rinsed off).

What a day! I went pumpkin & tomato picking at Greenhearts Family Farm. Then out for lunch after to Half Moon Bay Brewin...

What a day! I went pumpkin & tomato picking at Greenhearts Family Farm. Then out for lunch after to Half Moon Bay Brewing Company- thanks for welcoming me, new friends! I made so many new friends during today's adventures! I should've brought Mickaboo Companion Bird Rescue business cards with me!

It's starting to cool down here in Oakland! I enjoyed a warm shower followed by a rare opportunity to rest in my foster mom's bed. Don't worry. I wasn't here long. Just enough to get some preliminary drying in! Then I love to stretch my legs and get back to it!

I'm not sure who's more excited about this CSA delivery- me or my foster mom?

28/09/2022

Hi Friends! Long time no see. My foster mom told me I need to produce more content if I ever want to be adopted. Here I am singing in the shower. Ok maybe not singing, but I'm enjoying the heck out of it.

Hi Friends! This morning, my foster mom picked up a pet puzzle from her Gifting With Integrity/Buy Nothing group. I'm quickly learning to use it.

You can find your own neighborhood gifting group here. There are groups all over the world where neighbors share stuff & time & community. https://giftingwithintegrity.org/world-wide-map/

I am a huge fan of summer peaches! Just a few bites though so I don't eat too much sugar.

Hello friends! One of my new favorite things is harvesting snap peas every morning from this blue shape toy. This toy is very special to me as I brought it with me when I came to Mickaboo from my home of 40 years! My foster mom cleaned it up for me, and I remembered it! Who knew it grew snap peas?!

I'm home now, relaxing on my foster mom's lap before bedtime. But, I had SO MUCH FUN having lunch at Hopmonk in Novato, Calif this afternoon! The musician even brought attention to me by noticing that there was a cockatoo in the audience (in my celltei parrot backpack, natch). I was a hit with a table-adjoining bday party where there were a lot of kids- the kids thought my dancing was so funny and they were so respectful of my personal space! I loved the music!
