I just got a heads up from my editor at Bird Channel. (BC)
They posted a story about our Chopalooza event to support Florida Parrot Rescue. Simply click on the heading. It’s a link to the article:
Parrot Nation’s Chopalooza! Event Raises $10,000 For Florida Parrot Rescue
I couldn’t be happier! If you support parrot adoption and rescue and want to make a difference by making your opinion and voice heard, please lend your support by clicking on the link and making a comment at the BC. It’s that easy!
It’s the good stories like these, the fun ones, the ones that make a difference that inspire others to make a difference as well. The people that came together and worked their keesters off for this event made a huge difference to the birds at Florida Parrot Rescue. About ten thousand dollars worth!
FPR vets so many birds coming in and truly need the money raised to take care of these needs; an important part of bringing a bird in for adoption. This was really the most fun I’ve ever had at an event. And I’m probably not the only one who thinks that way. Way to go everyone! And thanks so much for the support you showed Florida Parrot Rescue at the first Chopalooza! Now please click and comment at BC! Thanks so much!

just yesterday [08-22] was my birthday. Since I am well past the age of wanting or needing gifts, we decided to spend that day at Wilson Parrot Foundation in Damascus,Md . And we gave to the birds by helping to clean, feed and water the parrots. We took along our 16 year old g-daughter-her boyfriend and her 10 year old brother who all pitched in with various chores that are a daily necessity. That being done the loving started. The birds were huddled, cuddled, their pictures taken and in return we got beaky kisses, wing flappings, cooings, talking and showing of their inate species screams of joy. We left tired, but happy and smiling and repaid the hospitality of Mr.Wilson and his flock with a donation that otherwise hubby would have spent on a present for me. It was a great birthday. Maybe some of you might want to consider that as an alternative if there is a local rescue in your area. If not, maybe just sending a donation to a legitimate rescue in your name would make you feel that your birthday so many years ago is no longer about “accumulating things” but rather helping those who really can benefit from whatever you can contribute. It will feel very special not only to them [but it will warm your own heart ]
