Winter Update Welcome to all of our Feathered Friends, Bird Owners, care givers and supporters! It's not often that someone offers to expand our Rescue so we really need your help. Please read about it below: Winter Housing Expansion Needs Your Help! We have a fantastic opportunity to expand the winter quarters for our special needs birds with new porch additions on the front and side of the building! Each area will be wide enough for wheelchair access and provide an outside view for the birds. We have installed the concrete slabs complete with PEX tubing for radiant heat. This should provide uniform warmth for all the birds during cold spells. Additional forced air heating will be added. As you know we are the boarding facility for birds belonging to our troops stationed overseas. We are also a bird shelter for hurricane evacuations, so we need the extra space. These new additions will add almost 800 square feet to our building and accommodate at least 50 of the stacked cages that have already been donated by the Petco Foundation for this expansion. All building materials and labor will be donated if we can just provide the heaters and concrete slab! Here's where you can help: We need to raise an additional $2500 to pay for the concrete and in floor heating elements, all of which we are getting at a discount. If everyone reading this can donate at least $20, we will be able to get it completed. The builder was delayed so we are hoping it will be all finished before our Christmas Open House on December 20, 2008 The birds and staff thank you for your caring and extra help!
