🌿🕊️ This Giving Tuesday, Spread Your Wings of Kindness 🕊️🌿

Today, we have the power to make a difference — one feathered friend at a time. 🦜✨ Whether it's a small donation, spreading awareness, or a purchase at our store for needed bird supplies, your generosity helps Birds and Beaks Rescue and Rehab give birds a second chance at freedom and a loving home

Good morning on this beautiful Giving Tuesday!

Throughout the day today, you can expect we will be showing you videos of birds, and taking a little walk down memory lane from where we’ve been to where we’ve come. Our goal today is to try to raise as much money as humanly possible.

Sometimes I think people think because we have so many followers that we are always running at a surplus. But - that’s not true. We are always running at a serious deficit. Giving Tuesday is a great tool to reset that for the year and give us a running head start into the new year.

We will keep a tally post for what money we raised today right here on this post and then we will do an update at the end of the day to let you know where we landed.

If you would like to participate, you can donate at www.birdsandbeaks.org/donate

PayPal is https://www.paypal.me/birdsandbeaks

Apple Pay is 517-898-1577

I love this! Adoption is the way to go ❤️

I responded to a gal today who was feeling terrible for birds at a chain pet store.

******
I’m sure what I’m about to tell you isn’t what you’re going to want to hear.

When you buy birds from Petsmart, or Pet Supplies Plus, or Petco, or any big chain pet store, really – as much as your heart is leaning into it – it’s not rescue. They’re babies. They’ll find a home.

When you give your money to one of those big chain stores – all you’re doing is funding them to buy more. And more. And more. And more. And more. There are giant bird farms down in Oklahoma, where they are mass producing these birds, and bringing them to the chains, where they then sell them to people who don’t know what they’re doing.

At best, they learn and become one of us - a bird person who does their very best. At worst, they go get another one when this one stops being pliable, because “he needs a friend!” or “they were born to mate. He needs a mate!” and they double the problem, and double down for Pet Store, that people will buy their animals. Then they inadvertently breed. And so on and so forth – and then, they call us to take on the problem they’ve multiplied because they “just don’t have time anymore.”

If you’re giving organizations or stores money to solve a problem they don’t think is a problem – you’re not fixing anything. You’re just a customer.

And they certainly don’t see it as a problem. Which is evidenced by the 20 something green cheeks we have in the rescue right now.

It's probably not a popular opinion, but it’s the truth.

I’ll probably make this a post. Please don’t feel targeted – it’s not you. It’s them. Sometimes, I swear they make them look pathetic just to rub on your heart strings so you’ll go “rescue” that under one year old little conure.

Meanwhile, we have 20+ who are in various stages of training and life cycles here at the rescue, for a fraction of the cost, who are probably more healthy, have already been converted to a good diet, and have already been detoxed off the crap seed that they’ve grown accustomed to at those stores who don’t educate themselves OR their customers, and who don’t take great care of them to get them a good start at life.

Please don’t support it. Because that’s what you’re doing. You’re funding that.

If you are bound and determined not to adopt a bird who is in rescue, then at least go to a family owned bird specialty store like Casa La Parrot, where I know that the birds are cared for with top notch care by people who genuinely care about them.

For anyone struggling with a bird’s trust, don’t give up…

This is the first time Buddy stepped up for me, and I’ve known him for 35 years

That was five years ago…

I grew up with Buddy for decades, since I was five years old.

But his heart belonged to my grandmother, and he relentlessly loved her, as many Amazons do.

He refused to make anyone else his person, even as she fell ill.

For the last five years he shared with her, he spent his days in a 19”x19” cage without any interaction due to her illness, but he never wavered. He refused to give up on her. Some may say that was negectful, and maybe it was…but he wasn’t willing to leave her side

After she passed away, we immediately went to pick Buddy up. The next two months were heartbreaking…

I sat with Buddy for hours on end each day. I talked. I sang. I cried…

This is the first time Buddy felt a comforting touch in several years

I tell you this because I was lucky. He trusted me rather quickly in bird terms, however, I would wait for him for years if I had to...

Don’t give up…embrace patience

❤️They are waiting for you to wait for them ❤️
