Another little guy has come in and will be needing a home. Rio is a beautiful GreenCheek Conure.

One of these days I'll get this back on track. I hear a lot of stuff that has been said about this rescue and it is depressing that people who do this are so shallow. Over the years we have heard a lot and have just let it go but now it is time to act.
The rescue has been called a bird hoarder at a time when the fires were raging, and people were losing their homes and had to find places for their pets and themselves. I took in over 170 birds and cared for them and fed them free until people had a place they could take them home again.
Then an older man and his grandson came to the rescue and wanted to adopt a macaw for the grandson and I refused. I will not sell the large birds to children or for children simply because they will get bitten at some point. A friend of the boy may do something they shouldn't and get hurt.
If people can't understand the fact that the care and handing of these beautiful birds is my goal. Most of the birds have been through enough. The birds come first and get the vet care needed, the proper feed and they are family here.
I have underaged kids calling all the time wanting a macaw or cockatoo and say it's for their dad. If your dad wants a large bird, he has to call me himself and he will have to demonstrate that he knows how to handle them safely.

This is Kona an Umbrella Cockatoo. She is such a good bird that if you take her to bed with you, she will snuggle up on your arm and will be there in the same spot when you wake.

This is Bogey. She is so beautiful and can sing so well

Looks to me like Thomas is dissenting because he is not happy after being out even by his benefactor. May Thomas was blackmailing him for the gifts and perks he received from the benefactor. Maybe there are more of them.

The United States Supreme Court on Friday ruled in an 8-1 vote that the government had the right to restrict access to fi****ms for alleged domestic abusers...

As usual Trump blames everybody and.everything for his legal problems. He has never accepted responsibility for any of his screw upset in his life and that is not the quality, and I use that term lightly, this country needs now or ever.
The man is a liar, cheater, and a person built on anger. A pompous little man with a big ego. Always bragging about his wealth and the women he has been with. Thinking he could "grab women by the p***y" just because he was a celebrity. Now only a household joke.
LOCK HIM UP¡!!¡!!!!!!¡

Well it has been a while since posting.
I am settled in the new spot and the birds are very happy here. Some have come and gone to new homes. I am not ready to adopt anything out right now but will have some good ones pretty soon. It takes a while to get the friendly and definitely not aggressive.
One question I get a lot is about large birds and little kids from 11 down. these are not birds you want your kids having access to when not in complete supervision of a parent. I had a grandfather bring his grandson, who was around 11 or 12, and wanted to buy him a macaw. This boy wanted nothing but a macaw but I could tell by his demeanor that I would not adopt a macaw to him.
I love seeing these birds go to a great home but, if a person buys a macaw for a child that is a mistake. We always have to be responsible.

I think it is time for Tucker Carlson and McCarthy to be run out of business. This is so unprofessional, and Fox News should be shut down permanently for this kind of crap. This is desperate attempt to build value for stockholders of Fox news. This is not news it is however a ploy to support Trump who Carlson, Hannity, Ingraham all messaged and claimed they couldn't stand him.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson is being criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for using new video of the Jan. 6 riots to downplay the violence that left five people dead. Carlson also said in text messages he "passionately" hates former President Trump, legal documents show. NBC’s Ryan Nobles...

We are looking for funding to facilitate an unexpected move. Since being in our current location we have reroofed, completely insulated, made a great many improvements and upgrades to the buildings and landscape. With that said the place was reappraised at close to 4 times the original purchase price and now they are having us move so they can profit from the work done.
I am on a fixed income and can’t do this without help. Most funding comes out of pocket and cuts my other expenses short. Since 2011 there has been right at 4000 birds coming through here. Please help us relocate and continue the work we do.
More information about Birds of a Feather Rescue: Nonprofit Exotic Bird Rescue. We rescue abused, mistreated, and abandoned birds rehabilitate them and find them loving homes. Some are registered with the service animal registry and visit hospitals, nursing homes, and schools. We also do summer camps for children for the local Animal Shelters and the Salvation Army. We have booths at Earth Day, Day on the Green and at The Blessing of the Animals at St. Francis Winery. We try to educate people before buying a bird so they understand the commitment, expense, and longevity of these birds. Too many do not receive the love and proper care needed. Veterinary care is costly and so is feed these days. We are trying to get funds to build enclosures.
