Urgently Needed, New Location For Rescue
A Growing Problem, A Growing Need,
Fresh Start Bird Rescue was founded in 1999 and since then
has seen many changes and periods of growth.
With the ever-increasing number of exotic birds entering the pet marketplace,
the issue of unwanted birds is rapidly growing. It is suspected that in the very near future
we will begin to see the unwanted exotic bird problem reach the same magnitude as it
is with cats and dogs.
Exotic birds become an even greater problem than cats or dogs because of their lengthy
life spans and their high demand for our time and attention.
On average, a companion bird will have seven different homes in its lifetime.
Fresh Start likes to inform prospective new bird owners that if the thought of cooking,
cleaning and entertaining a perpetual 2 year old for the next 10 to 100 years excites them
then they will probably make good bird parents!
The challenge for rescue groups is the ever-increasing number of animals entering their facilities.
Fresh Start receives calls almost daily from people who want to give up their birds,
and in many cases this could have been avoided with proper education.
This is why we believe our educational programs are so important
and why we are striving to do as much as we possibly can in this area.
How To Help
Fresh Start Bird Rescue was given notice to vacate our premises do to zoning issues.
Our transition to foster homes went very smoothly and we continue to operate all our programs as we always have.
Although it is our dream to have all our bird residents back under one roof, So we are in need of
a new Rescue building . We would like to obtain a new location in which to house our birds,
Also if possible have an area for an adoption center, quarantine,educational workshops for the public,
and cleaning and storage.
If you are aware of anyone that might help us secure new premises, please contact us
and we would be more than pleased to arrange a meeting at a mutually agreeable time.
We look forward to setting up the Rescue in a new and improved location as soon
as possible.
The parrots are all waiting for human companions with BIG hearts to give them a home
where they will find security and a sense of belonging.
Please help us continue our important work and to reach
our goals by helping us find a new shelter location.
Thank You,
Fresh Start Rescue Team and Residents
