The forest fires in Northern Alberta have been devastating for people and pets alike. With changes to the air quality, please monitor your pets, especially birds, for signs of distress such as open mouth breathing or exaggerated respiratory movements.
Birds are sensitive to smoke and ash in the air. Use these precautionary steps to protect your birds from smoke and toxins in the air if there are wildfires in your area.
- Shut all of your doors and windows
- Put fans throughout your house to keep air flowing
- Turn on your air conditioner
- Run a Hepa filter in your bird's room
- Reduce flying opportunities or any activity that increases a bird’s breathing rate. Keep your birds quietly occupied.
- Drape a damp blanket or towel over your bird’s cage to help keep out the particles from the ash in the air (not too wet a towel)

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns at 403-240-3577. Stay safe ❤️

Please help if you can.

Today, on a National Bird Day, we are sharing an update about a current challenge the rescue is facing:

Over the holiday season, our landlord gave us two weeks’ notice of a mandatory renovation. As a result, we are forced out of our shelter space for three weeks, leaving us busy, urgently trying to find temporary foster homes for the over 150 birds in care (transporting them in sub-zero temperatures is not ideal). We have received great support from the parrot community, and we appreciate that.

This situation has created undue hardship for the rescue – our current soundproofing that we installed at a cost of $5,000 is being removed so the landlord can install a thicker wall. This installation will take up precious space, which will negatively impact our set-up. During the renovations, we were offered a different space to help us transition. This new space has no running water (needed to clean cages and dishes) and is not completely closed-off from outside; it is not a suitable space for parrots. We cannot use it.

We will do our best to accept surrenders during this time. Adoptions will be limited to the birds that are not being fostered (about 25% of our flock) until we resume normal operations.

Want to help?

Donations in any amount will help to offset the cost of care. We are facing incremental costs associated with providing food and supplies sent out with our foster birds (we normally use bulk food at a cheaper price at the shelter). The food alone cost over $1,000. We have lost $5,000 worth of soundproofing work and are out another $400 for a professional TV mount for the birds that was removed and will need to be replaced. If you would like to donate to Meika’s Safehouse, these options are available:

· Canada Helps site: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/65519

· PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3MATKLS2SGRAC

· Skip the Depot (donate your empty bottles to Meika's Safehouse - they pick up): https://app.skipthedepot.com/meikassafehouse

If anyone is aware of a space in Sherwood Park with a size of 6,000-8,000 sq. ft. that would be suitable for a store and rescue, we would appreciate any leads.

Thank you to our wonderful supporters. Stay tuned for further updates.
