IT'S FATHER GRIZ-MAS!

He's checking his list,
He's chewed on it twice,
He doesn't give a stuff if you're naughty or nice!
Grizzy Claus is coming to town!

It is Thursday again and Father Griz-mas has prepared some more information to help keep your feathery family members safe this festive season.
He'll be back next Thursday with more, and remember..."Stay Safe, kids!"

December facts!

- 10th December 1901 the first Nobel Peace Prizes were awarded. They were created thanks to Alfred Nobel who upon his death donated his fortune to the foundation. Nobel made his fortune from inventing dynamite but became overcome with regret when the invention was used in warfare.

- 11th December 1936 King Edward VIII abdicated the throne in a radio broadcast to the nation. Three days later was the birthday of his brother, George, who succeeded the throne as King George VI. No, it was not an elaborate birthday present, Edward fell in love with a divorcee and had to abdicate to be able to marry her.

- The 11th December is also International Mountain Day!

-24th December 1508 London finally receive piped water for the first time since the Romans left, over 1000 years earlier!

Controversial I know but parrots are not domesticated. They are wild animals. If you are going to keep them, they need an aviary and a flock. What do you think?

Don’t miss the Charity Christmas Dinner Event of the year. We still have a few tickets left to sell. I honestly think this is an amazing event and is so much fun. The money goes directly to the parrots and it’s a chance to dress up, have fun, and raise money for this amazing cause. This event is suitable for all - including us that struggle in social situations. Trust me. I’m one of them.

IT'S FATHER GRIZ-MAS!

Yes, it's that wonderful, feathery, festive chap who visits all the parrot chicks the night before Christmas! Remember, if you've been a good parrot, Father Griz-mas will bring you fresh apples and walnuts!
"But what about the naughty parrots?" I hear you cry!
Well, Father Griz-mas is a parrot after all, so naughty parrots get rewarded with double walnuts!😁🤣

Father Griz-mas will also be here every Thursday on the run up to Christmas with helpful advice on making the festive season happy and safe for your parrot.
Turn to the second photo to see today's guide on how to keep your parrot safe and calm.

PLEASE HELP

We've had a tough year.
We rely soley on donations and the huge hearts and generosity of our supporters. We wouldn't exist without you guys and we are incredibly grateful for every donation we receive.
However, we have had some huge bills this year, donations have down and we are seriously struggling.
We still get requests to rehome parrots every single day. We can't take any in as we're full and it hurts that we're unable to help.
We've also had some let downs. One of which is our huge fundraising Christmas party. Due to the rise in food costs, Morndyke has had to pay extra to the venue from the ticket costs. Sadly this will reduce our fundraising total. We are gutted as this is our main fundraiser.
All this has really pummelled our emotions.

So please, if you can afford anything, we would be grateful. It doesn't have to be a donation...we still have 2026 calendars available, tickets for the fundraiser available, experience days at Morndyke, Shepherds huts and a cottage for a luxury getaway! Spoil yourself and help us at the same time!

It doesn’t take much to excite Hannah 2 and this time, it was a Military Macaw! All of our parrots have freedom of choice and so it feels pretty special for them to land on you and trust you 🫶🏻🥰😍

🌿 Support Morndyke Parrot Sanctuary with Easyfundraising! 🦜💚

Did you know you can help support the parrots at Morndyke Parrot Sanctuary without spending a penny extra?

We’re now registered with Easyfundraising, which means every time you shop online with thousands of retailers, they’ll make a small donation to our sanctuary on your behalf. It costs you nothing, but makes a huge difference to the birds in our care.

How it works:
1️⃣ Go to easyfundraising.org.uk
2️⃣ Search for Morndyke Parrot Sanctuary and click Support this cause
3️⃣ Shop online as normal using the Easyfundraising website or app
4️⃣ Retailers donate a percentage of your spend directly to us — at no extra cost to you!

Every donation helps us provide daily fresh fruit and veg, specialist diets, enrichment, heating, vet care, and the safe, stable sanctuary our birds rely on. All parrots who arrive here stay with us for life — we don’t rehome, so your support helps us give them the lifelong care they deserve. 🏡🦜

If you’d like to support us but can’t donate directly, this is a simple, free way to help the sanctuary keep going.

Thank you so much for helping us care for the birds who need us most. 💚
