Why Give
Many of our present
supporters do not have many funds available to do more than they are
doing and
we do highly appreciate all they do.
We do not
receive any
additional funding to help with operational costs. Because we are a
nonprofit
corporation we cannot issue shares of stock, we are not Government of
State
funded and rely on your support to help us sustain maintain a sanctuary
for
unwanted and high-risk adoptable exotic birds.
Our
charitable work is
quite an undertaking that many rather give up a bird than to serve the
birds needs,
care and love them unconditionally. For many birds
we are their last line of support. Our
parrot
caretakers generously dedicate their lives to taking in and caring for
these
unwanted birds. More times than not the organization
founder uses personal income in order to assure the
birds are well
cared for and not lack for anything.
Praying on
your kindness
and your compassion to give is not done without realistic expected
expenses. In
addition we must also persevere in order to meet the high cost of
maintaining
our reputable organization as we continue to provide the finest quality
of care for the complete
physiological,
psychological, and environmental needs unwanted and high-risk captured
birds and their
long lifespan.If you are
willing to contribute
to be the birds care and all that is associated with providing for
their care. The
best ways to help is to donate funds to our cause. Your contribution is
tax
deductible, and money matters to help us make a difference in their
everyday life.
Caring for these birds here at the refuge is expensive.
