Wendy's WPR News, December 2008

8 Dec 2008, 5:19 pm - Posted by Grant Mail - 1326 views - Categories: Home, Wendy's News

December brings more parrots! And increased financial needs.

Wendy never turns away parrots needing a permanent home. At the World Parrot Refuge they find a loving and secure environment, where they are encouraged as much as possible, to grow into complete and healthy parrots.

Wendy then hopes in faith that the funding for their upkeep will follow.

Thanks! to all our supporters who see the value in what we are doing and are able to contribute in one way and another.

If you would like to help, financially and otherwise, please click on the HELP tab at the top of this web page for more information.

Thanks Everyone! Have a wonderful finish to the year - despite the turbulent times we've all been experiencing - Love goes on!

Fall Migration at the Refuge

The macaws begin their migration down the hall to their new home:

Danny Mauro was recording the action for a pitch he's preparing for the Discovery HD channel. If this project goes ahead it could be a great boost to the WPR.

"The World Parrot Refuge is a true sanctuary where parrots live out their lives in a loving, spacious and happy environment under the guidance of extraordinarily caring people. The many visitors destined to pass through the refuge will come to understand that parrots are not toys or trophies, but beings with needs and emotions as real as our own."

– Rosemary Low (author of more than 30 books on parrots)
