Yesterday was Giving Tuesday, and through today we’ve been blessed with $470 in donations to help care for the flock.

On top of that, we received two amazing donation boxes of toys—and one of them had over 100 handmade wooden toys.

Holy crap, y’all. My heart about fell out of my chest when I opened that box.

I know money is tight everywhere. I know people are stretched thin, choosing carefully where their support goes. So from the bottom of my heart—thank you. Thank you for thinking of us, for thinking of these birds, and for lifting some of the weight off our shoulders.

Every single dollar, every toy, every kind message…it all matters. It all helps. And it all reminds me why we fight so hard to give these birds the life they deserve.

No bird left behind.
Totally Flocked forever grateful. 🦜💛

Oh no!!!

Oh No! Looks like a Thunderbird went down in Death Valley, CA this morning

Everything Im seeing says that the pilot ejected safely and was taken to a local hospital out of precaution.

Oh no. Prayers for the animals and strength for those involved.

Over the past two years, something pretty amazing has happened on our little corner of the Gulf Coast.
Three local parrot rescues started out as acquaintances… then turned into friends… then basically evolved into a full-blown flock of rescue warriors. A few months ago, we officially added one more to the chaos: Oliver Tree — and today we finally all got to meet her in person!

Between the four of us, we’ve:
• Referred adopters back and forth like a football team with good passing skills
• Transferred birds to whoever could give them the exact support they needed
• Shared our absolute best adopters… and quietly warned each other about a few 🚩 because safety first, drama never
• Swapped advice, experience, and “you will NOT believe what just happened” stories
• Lifted each other up when rescue and life, gets heavy (which is daily)

And honestly? I’m just so grateful.
There’s this long-standing stigma that rescues don’t get along — that we’re all out here territorial, competitive, or trying to one-up each other.

Not here. Not us. Not even close.

We’re four like-minded, bird-obsessed, fiercely protective women who love hard, rescue harder, and have zero time for anything that doesn’t make birds’ lives better.

We’ve built trust. We’ve built community. And now we’ve built a little rescue alliance that makes me smile every time I think about it.

Here’s to strong women, strong rescues, safe birds, good friendships, and the kind of loyalty that builds a better world for these precious souls.

On this Giving Tuesday, thank you — truly — to every single person who donated, shared, commented, reached out, or simply stood beside us. Your support doesn’t just help our rescue… it protects lives.

Because of that post a couple days ago — the one some people didn’t like — I’ve already had two individuals (one from another country) reach out begging for help for birds in horrific conditions. Today alone, three families called to surrender their birds because they know I fiercely guard the safety and well-being of every soul who comes through our doors.

And to those of you who have followed us for a long time — who consistently comment on our integrity, our character, our heart — I see you. I appreciate you more than you know. Your words matter. Your trust matters. Your belief in this mission matters.

You’re the reason we can keep showing up.
You’re the reason we can keep saying yes.
And you’re the reason these birds get the second chance they deserve.

From my heart — thank you. Every donation, every message, every ounce of support… it all helps us change lives, one bird at a time.

No bird left behind.
Totally Flocked forever.

On this Giving Tuesday, we have already shared dozens and dozens of rescues, shelters and sanctuaries that NEED our combined support.

It truly hurts my heart knowing so many are in need, and that these are just a tiny fraction of the rescues out there 🥺

Please, please consider making a donation to your favorite or local rescue, or many smaller donations to several rescues - it's so easy to help.

And if you cannot afford to donate, we really do understand - and that is ok! But won't you please share these Giving Tuesday posts then?

The more people who see these needs, the more likely donations will be made ❤️❤️❤️
..and no, the Meadow is NOT accepting donations today - please pick a rescue we have shared and make a difference there 💕

I saw a comment claiming rescues share certain images “just for shock and awe.” That’s not only wrong — it’s insulting. And did you miss their transformations?

Let me make this painfully clear:
I wish with every fiber of my soul that there was NOTHING shocking to post.
I wish these images didn’t exist.
I wish every bird was safe, fed, loved, clean, enriched, protected.
But that is not the world we live in.

If we don’t show the reality…
If we don’t talk about it…
If we don’t expose it…
Then these atrocities stay hidden — behind closed doors, in back rooms, in homes where people smile on the outside and let birds suffer behind the scenes.

And when we stay quiet?
Nothing changes.
The cruelty continues.
The neglect continues.
The silence continues.
And the birds — the ones who always pay the price — keep dying unseen.

I’m angry this cruelty exists.
And I’m angry that anyone thinks showing the truth is somehow the problem.

You know what’s “too much”?
A bird starving in a cage so filthy the smell hits you before you walk inside.
A bird buried under layers of filth so deep no one even knew she was still alive.
A bird wired into a cage and forgotten.
A bird dying alone because someone was too embarrassed to ask for help.

That’s too much.

Awareness is NOT “shock and awe.”
Awareness is education.
Awareness is accountability.
Awareness saves lives.

To those who reached out with your kindness, your stories, your understanding — thank you.
Your support matters more than you know.
You help us give these birds a second chance, and you remind us why we keep pushing forward even when it hurts.

To other rescues - thank you🩷

And to anyone offended by the reality of what we expose?
It’s okay not to follow. Truly.
But don’t expect me to water it down.
Don’t expect me to be silent.
And don’t expect me to look away to make anyone more comfortable.

I will continue to defend these birds.
I will continue to expose the dark side of humanity that they endure.
Because hiding it helps no one.
Speaking up is how we make things better.
Speaking up is how we save lives.

Silence protects abusers.🤬
Truth protects the birds.

And I will ALWAYS choose the birds.🩷💙❤️

If you stand with us and support our efforts is a great way to help!
