avroair Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I am hosting a Geocaching event at my local zoo July 9th (Link to event), where they carry out conservation and education awareness of animals and protect species. They are working on a new Cheetah habitat as well as an International Macaw house. There will be a trackable geocoin available at the event. And I am donating all the money I raise from the event to the zoo, and I know I will probably have left over coins. Macaw Geocoin Trackable: trackable with unique icon Finishes: black nickel (front shown below) and nickel finishes Size: 1.75" Versions: three different macaws Thickness: 3 mm Cost: $12 including shipping. At this time it's just a reservation system. Please Post if you are interested (and if you own a parrot or macaw!) and what versions, and how many. I will contact you with order information later. No commitment, but a great way to get a coin and donate to a worthy cause. Choices: Rio (red macaw) in black nickel Patu (red macaw) in black nickel Marvin (green macaw) in black nickel If you want all three just say a set.

+drneal Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'd be interested in a red or green if either are left...it's an animal cause! ILYK Quote Link to comment
+GeoCharmer81 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) Too cute!!! Please put me down for one Marvin(green). I have a Red Lored Amazon female named Rico. I had a Red Sided Eclectus male named Russell who crossed the Rainbow. His colors were quite similar to Marvin. Good luck with the fund-raising!!! Wish I could attend the Event, but I'm in Ohio. Thanks, GeoCharmer81 (AKA Kelly) Edit to add: Green in Nickel and also a Red (first pic) in Nickel!!! Oh, I just went to the movie Rio today-- it's a must-see for animal lovers!!!

+LadyBee4T Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'm interested in a red one and maybe a green one. Do you have pictures of the nickel ones? No money here but I'd like to support the cause if I can. I don't have a parrot but do have 5 cockatiels and a few other birds. Quote Link to comment
+GeoCharmer81 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 LadyBee4T-- you really DO have Parrots as the tiels (and parakeets) are Parrots!!! Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'd like a set of 3, whats this set of 6 you mention? Typo? <<< Slic >>> 3 black nickel, 3 nickel (the nickel are not shown so I should probably not confuse people and just stick with the black nickel). Quote Link to comment
+scificollector Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Please put me down for a BN set if available. Quote Link to comment
+MoonCatKDT & Peanut Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) I'd like a Marvin (green) in BN if avail Edited to add: I have no birds but KDT's parents own a bunch. My main reason for wanting this coin is to represent a tradition we have started. 2 years ago this Saturday KDT proposed, and we went to the Toronto Zoo. Last year, we did the same thing and enjoyed the Zoo together. So, this Saturday we will be at the zoo this coin reminds me of that Edited June 30, 2011 by MoonCat & KDT Quote Link to comment
+Serchnsoul Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 I would be interested in one of the red macaws- Rio. I have no birds at present but I used to be owned by a very sweet cockatiel! Quote Link to comment

+LadyBee4T Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 LadyBee4T-- you really DO have Parrots as the tiels (and parakeets) are Parrots!!! Yep I know they are in the parrot family but they don't look like the birds on the coins. I guess I should have said it that way. :laughing: I also have 2 parakeets and 2 finches. I guess that makes 7 in the parrot family!!! Mark you do have me confused. Are the coins we are ordering the BN or are nickel available too? Quote Link to comment
avroair Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 Mark you do have me confused. Are the coins we are ordering the BN or are nickel available too? Black nickel. The set are three different birds Rio, Patu and Marvin. Quote Link to comment
+dufzor Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Really like the coins! Sharing my home with 2 Orange Winged Amazons, Rico 44 yrs old and Sydney 51 yrs old, a Red lored Amazon named Goofy, age 19, a cherry head conure, aged 4 yrs, named Feather, a 8 yr old peach front conure named BOSSco, a 15 yr old green cheaked conure, named Cuddles but often called "Cudd", 2 11 yr old cockatiels Dallas and Tunia, an 11 year old budgie named Turquois, plus the "American Idol Budgies' Paula, Simon and Ryan. I have too many rescued birds to feed to purchase a set of coins right now, but I am glad you made the bird coins and encouraged us to share about our parrots. Quote Link to comment

+NOSNOW Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I would be interested in a set. I have a Macaw and a Cockatiel. The Macaw does not like Shadow’s Friend, unless I not around. The Cockatiel does not like anyone. Both are rescued birds. One was found in the parking lot at work, dehydrate and starving. The other was adopted from a vet that the owners turn over to them.

Hope these coins bring lots of help for the Cougar Mountain Zoological Park. Well, with the coins sales in the forums and tag and coin sales at the zoo I was able to donate to them collectively just under $2000! Of which $180 of that were cups of apple slices for the zoo animals! Thank you to every one who bought and donated directly to the zoo. On top of that we had 265 people attend! You guys and gals are awesome! I also have a few left if anyone is interested, I am covering the shipping. Mark Avroair Quote Link to comment
