Everyone interested in fostering or adopting a bird must attend our class on bird care prior to receiving a bird from us. This class is free of charge (although donations are appreciated) and is open to the general bird-loving public.

The class covers these topics:

• Proper avian care
• Proper avian diet
• Symptoms of illness and first aid
• General husbandry
• Taming and training
• And much much more...

Criteria for adopting/fostering a bird from us can be found on our How to Adopt page.

We have basic bird care classes scheduled throughout the Bay Area in the North Bay, San Francisco/Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay, and Sacramento areas.

Please arrive 5 minutes early to allow for registration. Seating is limited so please bring a folding chair, if you can. Please do not bring your own birds to the class.

Reservation: To reserve your spot for a class, email class@mickaboo.org with the class location and class date, in the subject line. And if you want to adopt a cockatiel (for example), please say so in the email so we may try to customize our class comments for you.
