Hi! I know it just seems like yesterday that we talked about foster homes
for birds. So since we talked 5 new amazons have come in and another is
expected this coming Wednesday.
We didn't have any of the right sized caging but thanks to Bill Kennedy
for kicking off a cage campaign and thanks to many of you for kicking some
money right back at him, today he is going to buy some cages. My garage
seems to have a revolving door - as soon as I put one amazon in a foster
home and scrub the cage there is another occupant waiting to come in. And
the garage was supposed to be a stop gap measure. I don't want our birds in
a garage.
For the most part these are really sweet birds that have been subjected to
a lot of neglect, poor diet, no baths or medical care, no grooming, and they
come in as dismal little sacks of dull feathers. In some instances the
birds have experienced terrible treatment at the hands of the individuals
who were responsible for their care taking and the birds have learned to
react with fear and anger. But almost overnight with a clean cage in a warm
safe environment, some food and fresh water, a couple toys, some mellow
music and a little interaction you can see a flicker of life and energy
begin to surface. To offer the bare necessities to these little wild
spirits is so simple. And the gift you get back is to see physical and
mental renewal in a creature who has spend untold hours sitting in a bad
space waiting. If you would like to receive this gift yourself just decide
to foster. It doesn't have to be an amazon - just any needy bird.
However, if I have convinced you to help some of these amazons please let
me know. I have a couple of birds for whom I really need a plan SOON.
Help me help the birds! We can do this.
