Long ago, when we dreamed and planned, we named our home Sanctuary. We built and continue to build a symbiotic environment for birds and mammals. This was called a "hobby", when in truth it is our entire way of life. We accept anything with feathers but especially the infirm, the hunger and the orphaned. We also have accepted a miniature horse, goats, chickens, dogs, cats and two llamas. Have a look!

Male Pacific Parrotlet

This little guy has been re-homed 4 times in 6 months. For the life of me I can't figure out why. I keep waiting for him to turn into a werewolf. I may have located a female pacific parrotlet to introduce to him as a companion. I introduced him to love birds, and parakeets and he is not interested. We shall see. But he is not going any where until I understand why he has been moved around. A volunteer named him Bella, he seems to like it so he is Bella.

Hard to photograph a moving target.

Mo and the Gray

Nelson/Gonzo has been with us a little over a month. Gregory, my old greyhound male, has never had any issues around the new family member. Rowena, the little three-year-old, has been much more curious, but had become fairly comfortable with him--until yesterday, when Nelson decided to explore the bottom of his cage, to see if the newspaper there was worth eating or tearing up. That put him at eye-level with the little black girl. She started looking like stalking him, and we had a conversation about that.

Gentle Giants

Wendy Craig sent me a picture of her macaw Gigi with a Birdlink Senegal. Wendy is looking great after her triple bypass surgery. She is a wonderful bird trainer that has been working with our birds. This is a great example of her skills and the gentleness of Hyacinth Macaws.
