Donations

We received from our generous donors the sum of 4282.00 $ in money, as well as 12 used cages for small and large parrots. We keep these cages in reserve for birds that will need to stay with host families.

We have also been able to provide support ourselves to different organizations and shelters, by taking care of certain birds.

In the name of all these birds…Thank you!

Thank you to all our volunteers and partners who support our cause. It is thanks to your help and collaboration if 35% birds, which are published on our website, find those who love them and are looking for them. It is by coming together that we achieve this accomplishment and it is through prevention that we will succeed in reducing the number of birds lost each year.
