Stephanie Burleigh sent this note and some photos from June's yard sale, which was another great success thanks to the efforts of many staff and volunteer members:

I just wanted to let you know that we raised $1,071.00 at the garage sale. Thank you for everything, Stephanie.

Watch for our next event in the later part of July! Until then, enjoy the summer!

"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)

"This is, in a word, a great place and these miraculous creatures deserve no less, but few places can deliver it this well. It is, indeed, 'world class'."

– Stewart Metz (author and Director of the Indonesian Parrot Project), after his visit at the Grand Opening of the Refuge on August 13, 2005.
