December 2, 2010 Together, We Can Achieve a Winged Victory!

Dear Friend, http://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=wnqjF0jPTzkS6n8dTJAK0Q..

What’s that you see floating gracefully toward us on the horizon? Why it’s National Bird Day, a mere month away!

Every Jan. 5, Born Free USA teams up with the Avian Welfare Coalition to celebrate the beautiful and diverse winged creatures of our world. We also call on activists to take action on behalf of captive birds — to discourage their sale in stores, to improve standards of care for birds who can’t be returned to the wild, to stop the smuggling and international trade in wild birds, and to do whatever else can be done to keep birds flying free.

We want you to embrace the spirit of National Bird Day and spread the word. Visit our updated websitehttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=qoXnrnBsTyjuVR-0JRBCOA.. to download or order colorful 2011 postershttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=VmKEICzN_AFb2Jxs7ABg8w.., order our new NBD Teachers Packhttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=SeEm_0hdTuVAAGb4E35GJw..and read about special events http://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=VXz7Ui-cswBlYtt31R8jdQ..throughout the country. We’ll challenge and entertain you with our interactive Bird Call Quizhttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=XYTMXnyJW7VLodGSvi9flA.., nurture your artistic side with origami craneshttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=UHEgT3x5Wx1SfPgR-NYxKQ.., and give you a chance to win a pair of high-powered binoculars in our State Bird Counthttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=WEOYX3I_aPmv2t8aPyTO7A..contest.

In the field, Born Free USA is helping birds in a very tangible way in Honduras, where a project we helped to fund monitors nests and combats poaching and other threats to a small and imperiled population of macaws.

The presence of birds, free from exploitation and abuse, enriches all of us wherever we live or go. Join ushttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=YN9_HgDH94Ftu8pSszDVOQ..in doing what we can to keep our feathered friends unfettered — out of cages and in the wild.

With gratitude,

P.S. Two colleagues of mine, Jillian Hacker and Lorry Marvin, are teaming up with Lorry’s husband Chad and me to “Run for the Monkeys” in Sunday’s California International Marathon. Please consider helping ushttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=TI7b0Gh-ClH3Y7WKu-2OMg.. as we raise funds for the Born Free USA Primate Sanctuaryhttp://action.bornfreeusa.org/site/R?i=GpAm-6gCjPkZ7h3Js6lCVQ.., home to some 500 rescued monkeys!
