Post PDD and bird thief

Found this whilst cruising and thought it something everyone should take a look at.

And this here has been posted before as well I think? There is also a piece on the stolen birds that were infected.

Thanks for sharing this. We worked along with AHN with our seminar in June at BP to raise funding for PDD research. We were excited to raise approximately $12,000.00. That money was probably exhausted inside of one month.

Funding is so important and urgently needed.

Unfortunately, at some point in our lives, PDD will strike, whether personally or through a friend or family member. We will all experience the heartache at some juncture in our lives. It is inevitable. If we do not conquer this nasty monster, I fear we will face an epidemic in the not so distant future. The theft alone at Milo's Ranch is yet another contribution to the spread of this horrible alien that invades our birds' lives and our lives. And the suffering on both ends is like nothing else.

Since it is the holiday season, perhaps we can make a difference by making a contriubution in the name of a friend and/or family member and give it as a gift which, I am certain, will be greatly appreciated. Isn't that what Christmas is all about?
