Alright… here’s the longer one. This is what ‘Christmas Eve at RFPS’ actually looks like when you stop reading and hit play. Fair warning: once you watch sanctuary life, normal life feels suspiciously quiet.”

This bird is clearly running the front desk. I don’t make the rules. If you need a room, press 1. If you need snacks, press 2. If you need to be judged silently… just exist.

One of my favorite things about this community is the small stuff: handmade gifts, kind notes, and people who understand that ‘helping animals’ is never just about the animals. It’s about the humans who show up too.

Christmas Eve 2018: I’m out here unboxing pigeon waterers like they’re presents. Any reasonable person would wait until after Christmas. I am not a reasonable person. The pigeons were thrilled. I was… also thrilled.

Christmas Eve lesson from the sanctuary: you can be grateful and exhausted at the same time. You can laugh and still be carrying heavy stuff. That’s not weakness. That’s just being human.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: they sing the most beautiful songs. And then five minutes later somebody screams like a dinosaur because a toy moved two inches. Balance.

This right here is the RFPS version of a Christmas Eve truce: forehead to forehead, no drama, just vibes. (Don’t worry. It lasted approximately 14 seconds.)

This is the face of a man who thought he was in charge… and then remembered he lives with a cockatoo. If you’ve never been judged by a bird before coffee, I envy you.

If you’ve ever wondered what Christmas Eve looks like when you zoom out far enough… it’s history, hope, and a whole lot of feathers. Also probably a raccoon somewhere making bad choices.

Brain and Pinky energy: ‘Tonight we take over the world.’ Reality: ‘Tonight we hit the food bucket like we’re training for the Olympics.’ If you get the reference, congratulations… you’re officially one of us.

Some years the best gift isn’t a thing. It’s a moment. A wild bird choosing to sit near you. A traumatized bird relaxing for the first time. That trust is earned… and it’ll humble you real quick.

Christmas Eve at RFPS is where ‘silent night’ goes to die. The birds are settled (mostly). Somebody is plotting. And I’m pretending I don’t hear the one cage door that sounds slightly different than it should.
