Writing this is incredibly painful.
I will do my best to leave emotions out of it because they are just too heavy.
I have been doing parrot rescue and rehab for 12 years.
Between the heartbreak and joy that each brought with them, I gave each the passion I have that helped to get them their new homes.
In the beginning, there were many fosters and helpers as well as successful fund raisers that kept things going smoothly.
Since covid, the help and donations have been scarce.
The past few years have basically come from my own pocket. While I don't have a problem with making sure they have their needs covered before worrying about my own, changes in my health and finances lately have me facing some tough choices.
My home needs to be sold very soon and as a result I have no choice but to close the rescue.
I thank everyone who has donated, bid on auctions, fostered, helped with pick up of birds/supplies, or simply helped with cleaning or socializing. You are all amazing people who helped me to help these wonderful birds.
I appreciate everyone who has ever helped with the beauties over the years, especially the 2 wonderful women who still do! You ladies have kept me going these past couple of years.
As a result, I will not be taking in any more birds and will be working on finding homes for those still in need.
Forever grateful,
Jackie
