Evenings spent with my babies. 🥰

Some before and after pictures of the beak trim done on this baby today by myself.
I think this may be due to poor diet as these birds from the hoarding seizure were fed only very cheap Walmart seed. They've been on a fresh diet since being with me. Sometimes a fast growing beak indicates a liver disease due to poor nutrition. Anyways. I got this little baby cleaned up and I'm sure eating is going to be much more comfortable now.

I am going to talk about this one time and one time only. Ryan Eatmon keeps making posts over and over again about us. Ryan Eatmon surrendered 2 birds to me back right when I became a rescue. He signed legal relinquish documents that I have filed. Ryan is lashing out to me because I did not give him my lovebirds for free, the rare and different colors that he does not currently have in his breeding program. He had planned to buy them to show them, breed them, and have monetary gain from them. Let me make this clear. No single person will demand superiority over my birds or think they are entitled to whatever i have just because you sent me birds. (To his own benefit. They took up space and are not viable for breeding. I do not owe you for dumping "your trash" onto me.)
I have declined over 100+ applications for one reason or another. We have a very vigorous screening process. I'm sure half of you reading this could comment below about the process you've gone through with us too. Every single family who has received a bird from us has nothing but wonderful things to say. We work with an accountant. We work with a bank manager at our local bank. Our VETERNARIAN office in Lock Haven is ran by a VET not a tech. Let's use our brain here ryan. I do not have to prove anything to anyone. I have my rescue in home and i have always been more than happy to invite people in when surrendering/adopting birds. I have always gotten positive comments on how clean my house is, my birds health, etc. But I'm not going to continue onto this ramble trying to prove myself to someone like Ryan. He calls me a bird flipper. He's a breeder. Calling the kettle black. Not one single adoption fee of mine has ever gone over $800. There's places in PA operating as a rescue to hustle birds in and resell them for $1500+ as a nonprofit rescue, or breed them in their back room but i dont see him poating about that. Why?. I will not tolerate this or stand for this from Ryan Eatmon. To clarify. His friend died of cancer and trusted Ryan with Dena and grandma. And some other birds. He kept the ones of viable age to breed and dumped off the 2 elderly ones to me that were worth no money to him.i am very happy he dumped them on my lap because they are the best birds I've ever owned. But to him all he sees is money signs. It is up to me and my teams best judgment on who our birds go to. And to this point I have been more than happy with my choices in their homes. If you have any questions or concerns go ahead and message me and I'd be happy to sort this out. I make flyers for my rescue as most charities or businesses do. It's called marketing. I offer tons of information and ways to find me and learn about our rescue and our mission to give a fair choice to the community when choosing between us or another Pennsylvania rescue.

If you have supported me and read this far.. I want to thank you. Thank you to those who have actually worked with me, to those who have trusted me with their birds. To those who have adopted from me and given amazing homes to my babies. Thank you to those who stand strong and speak for the voiceless. At the end of the day, if Ryan or anyone else feels they can't use me to their own benefit, making me look like an enemy publicly is the way these scumbags lash out when they don't get their way. Very immature.

I will not make a post like this again however.. I will not be silenced. And I will not stop doing what I love. Nobody scares me. I am DAMN PROUD of what I do and the difference i have made.
I'm just a 24 year old girl living my dream. I'm sorry but I dont have time to argue with bitter old money hungry breeders.
And to those wonderful loving ethical breeders I have a great relationship with, I see you and love you!

Please. Do your research. Don't believe everything you see on the internet. And have a good rest of your day.

You want to know who has educated me, backed me, supported me, and became a motherly figure to me? T&A ran by Crystal in West Virginia.
If you are following me you better follow her too! She is just incredible. Her work is amazing. Her ethics and morals rise sky high. And she has a lot of love in her heart for these birds and sharing her knowledge to better the next generation of bird owners. A lot of my education and knowledge that I share with you all, came from this woman here.

Hello all. We have been stuck at 3.5k followers for quite some time. Can you make sure you are FOLLOWING the page and invite some of your bird loving friends to do the same? It would be amazing to break out of the 3000s and into the 4K range.
Thanks in advance. Just hit the like button and share it out. Shares really help nonprofit rescues like ourselves to spread awareness.

Welcome to Soaring Spirits Sanctuary Kevin the cockatiel!

Kevin came from a very very loving family. Kevin has been self mutilating to a more severe degree for well over a year now. He has had every test under the sun and seen several vets, and nothing seems to work. This family was very exhausted and heartbroken over Kevs constant self harm and the battle to stop it.

This is what we're here for. When you feel euthanasia is your only option after exhausting all avenues, as his family did, we're here to help. He was so incredibly loved and I just feel so hard for his mama. I couldn't imagine battling this as long as she did, to see it heal and have him destroy himself again.

I'll keep you all updated along the way. ❤️

Alot of people applied for Chuck, but he has since found his forever home. Sid the sulphur crested cockatoo is still available as well as Captain the amazon! Sid needs to go to a home where she is the only bird, or can be in her own separate room from other birds. We stress this because it could be dangerous for the other birds! She is a typical cockatoo who needs lots of attention and time with her owner, so working from home is definitely preferred. As for Captain, he absolutely needs to go to an only female home, no males at all. He becomes extremely aggressive towards men and it is stressful for him. If you're interested in one of these amazing birdies, apply!

Oh man am I in love with this little one. She is gonna make somebody so incredibly happy.
Apply for "Zoey" to meet this little one.

I've been keeping a secret...
The Dodo reached out to me a few months ago about one of the birds that inspired me to officially license myself as a rescue. SweetPea went viral on TikTok awhile back. I am so proud. This is a huge step to be featured on the dodo!!! I could just cry!!!

08/13/2024

Yay! Chuck has found his forever home! Thank you to the community for working together to gather over 150+ reposts to find his home!
We will be taking him to the suburbs of Michigan this weekend! I'm so excited for him!

I will be traveling through Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Toledo, and Detroit. I would like to schedule any surrender requests if I'm passing through your area this friday thru Sunday.
Call or text 331-701-9559 for info.

‼️I want to challenge my followers to something today. How many of you can donate $5, $10, $25 to the rescue today?

Alot of people feel that their donation to rescues won't make a difference. That's simply not true. Why? Because, if every one of my 1.3k followers decided to donate just a small $5, that would give us $6500. That is a LOT! See how your small contribution makes a HUGE difference? It just takes a village to help.

As a 501c3 we rely heavily on the generous donations from our supporters. No matter how little you feel you can help with, every penny adds up and saves another parrots life. We have a $1k+ mortgage to pay, hundreds in gas monthly for surrender pickups and rescues. $100+ electric bill to keep the ac running for the birds, security cameras on. $500+ in food a month just for our birds. And this isn't even 50% of our expenses for the rescue let alone my personal bills.

So, I challenge you to see if we can make this goal of $6k. ❤️
Another way to help for free is reposting this.

‼️UPDATE: Hes been adopted!! YAY! Thank you to everyone who helped‼️
Chuck is still up for adoption, I don't know how?! Look at this handsome man!

Chuck is not doing well in the rescue setting. We have moved him out of the aviary and into the living area with us a few days back, but he seems to be regressing more each day.
Chuck seems to be getting depressed and isn't allowing much interaction with us anymore. He really really needs to find his forever family where he can feel comfortable and start to settle down. I have observed some minor plucking behaviors which is why I would like to get him adopted ASAP! Although this does NOT mean I will adopt him to just anyone. You must still apply through our Google forms link and go through the screening process.

Please, can you repost and share this? Chuck needs a home!

Chuck is assumed to be middle aged, with a broken wing at some point that healed wrong, and arthritic feet.
Chuck loves head scratches and to be talked to.
