I know y’all are out there somewhere. We are still only at 170.00 for these 4 macaws coming in on MONDAY! I’m a bit surprised.

Is it because they look healthy so so you don’t think they need to be vetted? 1. Birds hide illnesses as we all know. 2. Being outside I think it’s even more important to vet them due to all of the illnesses wild birds transfer. Including the avian flu. 3. All birds should be vetted at least once a year.

Is it because you think other people will donate? Except for the 5 people out of my 20k followers on 4 pages they aren’t. If you all would donate even 1.00 we would have their vetting covered and then some.

Is it because they don’t look tame? They aren’t. But does that mean they deserve less?

Is it because of the holidays and they are following a few big fundraisers? Unfortunately, it’s not what I had planned either but it’s not their fault as far as when they are losing their home. AND in the past few fundraisers less than 20 people donated to both of them. I have over 13k followers! Even 1.00 from a good majority of you would make a huge difference.

As always…the clinic’s information is always included and listed first as a way to donate.

These birds didn’t ask to lose their homes especially around the holidays and do you really want my to bring them in with the other rescues and potentially spread any diseases to them? Really?

I know everyone is having fun with the AI posts but these are not AI birds. They are real birds that need your help!

So again…I’m pleading with you to help these babies. And I’m not asking for a huge amount from anyone…even 1.00! Please. Heck very few of you have even shared for these babies! I’m not sure what they’ve done to be ignored by 20k people but it’s very sad to me. Believe me I don’t take joy in begging…I hate it…but I’m committed to helping them. I hope you are too.

Emergency fundraiser!

This is one of the birds that the realtor took in from the hoarder. As you can see…there is something wrong with her eye and she has a large growth above her vent area. She got these babies out of the horrible conditions they were living in and did not expect huge medical bills. She did take her to one vet that dremmeled her nails, complained about not getting paid enough…said nothing was wrong with her and sent her on her way!!!! No labs…no X-rays on the growth…forget about looking at the eye…didn’t happen!!!! So I’m doing this fundraiser and sending her to Rainforest Clinic…Dr. Clubb is in India but the other vet, Jenna will see her. Please donate what you can!!!! These babies…especially this one…has had enough and needs help!!!

It seems we have completely stalled in our efforts towards a permanent structure. If you can’t donate that’s totally understandable but shares are always appreciated too!!! Thanks everyone!!

I think I’ve found where we will be getting our permanent structure for the birds. The Home Depot sheds come with everything needed to build them including the foundation! A supporter sent me the link to this one which would be wonderful but they do have smaller ones too. This shed will
allow for insulation as well as air conditioning. Due to my reception here I could not get a shipping cost so I had to guesstimate.

I know some of you don’t like gofundme. If you would rather use one of the forms below, I will add your total to Gofundme as an outside donation. If you look at the donations on the gofundme page you will see that a few outside donations have already been added.

We are a 501(c)3 (82-1640814) so all donations are tax deductible.

We do not receive grants or money of any kind from government and rely solely on donations and our disability income to rescue, vet, feed and house these babies.

Thanks everyone! If you could share that would be wonderful too.

There are some things I need before I move down in order to keep the birds safe. I have an Amazon wishlist and I’m hoping I can ask you guys to help. It may look like I’m a diva with a few things but I’m really not. The filter systems for the water is to make it safe for the birds and dogs. As you’ve seen…it’s well water. The cell phone booster is because there is no service there and unfortunately bird theft is running rampant down there so being able to call 911 in an emergency would be great!!! The hose is to hook up the water to the RV and the extension cord…the electric to the RV. Everything else is pretty much bird related except for the dog run. Sheldon (my Great Dane puppy) will have full run of the acre except for weekends when we are open to the public. I can’t imagine anyone wants a 150 pound puppy running at and jumping on you! And he will be in the RV when I am. It’s far to hot in Florida to leave any dog outside full time.

If you can get something off the wishlist that’s great! If you’d rather make a donation towards the items on the wishlist, ways to donate are below the link for the list. Omg! My heart is beating fast knowing this is finally happening! The list is set so that once something is purchased, it is deleted from the list.

Once down there I will be ordering sheds. They are too heavy for me to move myself. So temporarily the big birds will be in tents with floors so the cage weight will help to keep them in place and the littles that I currently have are not tame so they will be placed in aviaries and live their lives out as birds…flying!

I feel like I’m forgetting to tell you so many things! Ugh!!! Thank you again for always being there!!! You are my army of angels for these babies!

I wish everyone knew how much I really hate begging…but I do it for the birds. I have to. I made a commitment to them. If you would rather donate to the vet, so that we can get the next baby vetted when they come in, you can call Dr Clubb at Rainforest Clinic at 561-795-4878. They are closed on Wednesdays and Sundays.

Let me introduce myself, my name is Sarah Edwards and I am the founder of Rickie’s Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. (“RPR”), a 501(c)3 charitable organization (FED EIN 82-1640814…all donations are tax deductible) founded in 2017, located, in the State of Florida. RPR takes in parrots and birds that many other rescues turn away. We specialize in the special needs, sick, neglected and abused. RPR welcomes these babies knowing that they come with large medical bills as well as physical and emotional damage. RPR provides medical care and works to gain the trust of these babies so that they can be placed into good, loving homes. We work hard to ensure that the perfect home is found for each one. Those that are deemed not adoptable, remain with us for the rest of their lives. Our services are being needed more and more and we have outgrown our current space.

Unfortunately when hurricane Ian came through, a ceiling collapsed in one of our rooms. Destroying cages, brooders and medical supplies that we were forced to replace. So our funds were depleted.

RPR will be moving to an area in Redland, FL that will allow us to expand and provide the birds with a more natural, healthy environment. We will be building aviaries as well as outbuildings for medical and new intakes.

I am asking for your help.

This move will give the rescues a much better life and will allow us to continue to save lives. It will open the rescue up to the public…it will allow for events, etc!!! But more importantly the rescues lives will be so much better!!!! It will also allow us to keep saving the medically needy, handicapable and abused birds. I was able to find a sponsor for the fencing, electric and well but we still need at LEAST one more shed or tiny house, car port, fencing (for cages), septic (estimated at 5000.00) and a used RV! Or someone willing to owner finance or rent to own an RV. We need you…these babies need you!!! Please please please…give and share!!! It’s not me saving lives…it’s you!!!

We are up to 173 for this baby girl. Can we get more help for her please? Her story and donation information is below. Thx all!!!

The Stinkmeister says…hey wait a minute! I need sponsors too I love my toys and food? Oh my god! Food! My favorite!

Stinkie is an extreme case of the high red issues. It’s discussed below…but basically…high red green cheeks are in demand. The problem is…when you breed two high reds together, 40% of the time the babies are born with feather and eye issues. The Stinkmeister is an extreme case.

Some people got upset that I named him Stinkie Butt….but it was due to his personality when I was hand feeding him. He was and still is a little stinker. And there’s nothing cuter than to hear him say his own name!

Adoptions are down and as you all know…our medical expenses can be crazy. We didn’t even cover the last one. I’m sure fundraisers will still be needed, but I’m hoping less will need to be raised with each one by offering different birds to sponsor.

I thought about raising adoption fees, but there are enough rescues out there charging close to retail. My goal is to find these babies forever homes where they will find unconditional love…not take the potential adopter for granted. I would rather they spend the extra money on cages, toys and food that their new babies will need.

So, if you would like to sponsor our the Stinkmeister, it’s 10.00 per month and will be handled via PayPal. Click the link below. Thanks all!!

Remember…we are a 501(c)3 so all donations are tax deductible.

If at any time bird being sponsored is adopted, you will be given the choice of sponsoring another baby or ending your subscription.
