well i went today despite the sleet and snow...lol
i worked very efficiently for about an hour. got most everything they needed done, done. lol the lady was like wow.."you better come back!" so i played with them for a long time. i met Brian the foundation founder. he is a nice man. also there was a local news guy there (NBC, 4) news. so i am gonna have my picture in the news some time. unfortunately i had to go though to beat traffic home. but i am excited about it, i had a FANTASTIC time and will be going back weekly or bi monthly to help out. also the news guy got some pictures of me holding like 14 birds at once, macaws, toos, eclectus's, amazons etc...and he will email them to me and when i get them i will post them :)

so now i shall start the photos...

first is the rescue birds the just rescued. sorry these pictures are really bad. they were in quarantine. it is mainly conures(nandays, suns, GCC, dusky conures etc.../ teils/ IRNs/ and two U2's thaat were rescued from a really small cat carrier. on was soo sweet.
