It's official, we won in the Shelter Challenge again thanks to all of our friends who voted! We will be splitting the winnings with our partners at The Gabriel Foundation and Critter Camp Exotic Pet Sanctuary.

We still need help to cover the shortage in our budget. Our recent fundraising campaign is at https://www.facebook.com/donate/2590835331123205/2590835347789870/ if anyone is able to help us out. These contests are nice, but the winnings are far from enough to keep us afloat.

IMPORTANT INFO, FEEL FREE TO SHARE

We share this every winter, because birds are so sensitive to the cold. Here are things you can do if you lose power in cold weather. We have 2 generators, so we will always have heat if you need a place to keep your birds warm. PLEASE CALL US AT 816-356-4700 IF YOU NEED HELP WITH YOUR BIRDS.

***Put the cage in the bathroom, shut the door, close the drain, and run hot water in the shower periodically to keep the room warm. This will work if you have a gas water heater rather than electric.

***Put the bird inside your shirt against your skin, but be careful not to suffocate her by squeezing too tightly.

***Wrap her in a towel or blanket to conserve her body heat.

***DO NOT just cover the cage with a blanket. The bird cannot heat all that space and will die of hypothermia if the temperature drops.

We know birds that died when the power went out and they were left covered in the cold house.

***Put her in your car (parked outdoors) with the heat running and the doors locked. DO NOT leave the car inside the garage or you will risk killing the bird and your entire family from carbon monoxide poisoning! DO NOT leave your car unlocked, it may be stolen.

***Use a propane space heater or fireplace to heat the room. DO NOT burn anything other than paper or wood. BEWARE OF FUMES and be sure to keep someone in the room constantly to watch for fire hazards or smoke. Bring a carbon monoxide detector into the room if you have one.

Our fundraising for 2024 was not enough to cover the expenses incurred by the 333 new birds that came into our rescue. The rescue has not been able to reimburse me for all of the year. If anyone is able to help by making a small donation, it would be very much appreciated.

An English Budgie is a modified version of the Australian Budgerigar that was bred to be a show bird. While they are one member of the parakeet family, only in America do we commonly call these birds parakeets. Over many generations, breeders selected the largest birds with the biggest heads, so eventually they ended up with a bird that is twice the size of its original ancestor. Follow me for more bird trivia!

And vote! Monday is the last day. https://www.shelterchallenge.com/shelterchallenge/Shelter/Detail/1227880

In case you have snow where you live, instead of building a snowman, you could create a "snowtoo". It is just one big blob of show with a little hint of pink, some sticks for feet, coal for eyes, and what would you use for the beak? Give me some suggestions.

Of course this is only after you vote https://www.shelterchallenge.com/shelterchallenge/Shelter/Detail/1227880

Lenny: "I was released at a wedding to celebrate a couple's love for each other."

Squiggy: "I was released at a funeral to commemorate the passing of a special person."

Lenny: "I don't think most people realize that we can't survive in the wild, so we would have either starved or been killed by a predator if the staff at Burge Bird Rescue had not been here to save us."
