FEBS Advocates for Responsible Pet Ownership on FOX-13
FEBS was pleased to advocate for responsible pet ownership during this afternoon’s “We Live Here” segment on FOX 13 Tampa Bay. You can view the entire video here (https://www.fox13news.com/news/sanctuary-pasco-county-provides-exotic-birds-permanent-home).

Educating the public on responsible ownership of parrots and other pets is an important part of FEBS overall mission. That message came through loud and clear as captured by FOX 13 photojournalist Barry Wong, who produced today’s video. With clearly evident professionalism and skill, Barry also gave voice to our passion for caring for the many exotic birds that have a lifelong home with us – we deeply appreciate the opportunity to share our “story” with bird and animal lovers everywhere!

Mr. Wong spent nearly two hours with us June 18 touring, taping, and interviewing. He and our staff had great fun interacting with one another, and Barry had the chance to meet several of our feathered residents “up close and personal”. The video demonstrates Barry is a “quick study,” as he obviously learned a great deal about parrots and their needs during his relatively short visit.

Looking for a unique way to entertain family and friends this fall? Or maybe you and your “special someone” simply want to spend some quality time outdoors on a weekday? Here’s a great idea: Book a tour of Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary on our website (www.flabirdsanctuary.org)! We even have a shady picnic area for guest use before or after a tour.

FEBS relies solely on the generosity of families, businesses and foundations for funding. It costs nearly $1,500 each and every day to provide shelter, food, medical care, safety and love to the 850+ birds that call FEBS their forever home. Please donate today and share the story of our sanctuary and its mission with your friends and family members.

“Nobody here but us chickens!”
Chickens are heroes at the sanctuary. They keep our aviaries clean and pest free. This pair appear to identify as parrots, they like to hang around on the perches with the macaws.

Dear Friends of FEBS,

The much-needed expansion of our facility has begun! Your financial support, and a very generous donation by one of our west coast friends, made this possible.

The first expansion step—clearing the 1.6-acres of land—is nearly finished! We’re very excited that our two years of planning and fundraising are starting to bear fruit!

Good morning, Friends of FEBS!

Today we want to extend our gratitude to our Volunteers of the month Cindy and George. For three years, once a week, Cindy and George would make the three hour round trip to the sanctuary to donate their time. They were always willing to take on special projects and never said no to even the dirtiest task! Cindy and George, we can not thank you enough for your time and dedication to Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary!
