FINAL UPDATE 7/16/2017:
The final tally is in! We have reached our fundraising goal, thanks to all of you who gave money and hope to the 600+ feathered friends in our rescue flock. We cannot thank you enough for your generosity and kindness.
UPDATE 9:00 PM:
Final update:
With MANY thanks to our numerous and generous supporters, we collectively gathered $4,773 toward the medical expenses of the birds involved in the Oregon Rescue and their many feathered colleagues in our rescue flock. Our flock's vet bills this month are expected to top $40,000, so these funds will be put to use quickly.
The Oregon Rescue birds made their 10-hour journey to California yesterday. Both birds were great travel companions; the African Grey whistled (in tune!) with the human driver in a cross-species duet for much of the time.
May 5, 7:30 am - final results:
Thanks to the 60ish generous supporters who gave during this event, we raised $7,575! That, plus the Challenge Grant match, totals $9,848, or about enough to pay for a week's worth of our typical monthly veterinary expenses.

Our collective efforts resulted in $4,298 raised. THANK YOU! That's about 3 days' worth of our veterinary expenses. Many many thanks from Yolo Grey (pictured here), the rest of our 500+ rescued birds in our foster flock, and our many dedicated volunteers. Your help makes all the difference to their lives.

The final results are in! Together we raised almost $38,000, blowing past our $30,000 fundraising goal! I am humbled by and grateful for the outpouring of generosity this represents - enough to almost pay for a month's average veterinary costs incurred by our rescue flock of over 500 birds.
THANK YOU!
Final update: Thanks to your collective generosity, we raised $3,637 in the Holiday Party Challenge Grant. That amount will pay for about 3 days' veterinary expenses at our now-current rate. Our birds and our volunteers appreciate your contributions!

Final update:
THANK YOU to the many generous supporters who collectively raised a grand total of ~$16,600 today, inclusive of matching funds from both GlobalGiving and the Pixie & Bella Challenge Grant. That amount will pay for a tad less than two weeks of veterinary expenses to help our many birds become physically fit for permanent adoption.
