Bird Rescue Challenge

We have been rescuing all types of birds since 2012. Domesticated birds are the ones we normally get, due to location. Some birds are special needs with extreme trauma and are sanctuaried. We have rehomed many birds into happy lives. It is a blessing to see when they recover and grow into the beautiful dinosaurs they should be.

Many people have crossed our path. How amazing this journey has been! We have cried over losses. Lives destroyed and too far gone to save and we have rejoiced over the hard cases that have learned to love after years of torture and abuse.

Sadly, our current living conditions are not good and we have the need to expand. We require a place to call our own, where we are safe and secure. As we count on donations to keep us going, it is within the hearts of strangers that we place our hopes and dreams.


We started this rescue without a warning or a penny to fall back on due to the immediate needs of some feathered friends in an emegency situation. Our intent was made with pure hearts and an immense love for all creatures.

We have rescued all sorts of animals in our lives and now we are rescuing our feathered beauties. We have not stopped helping other animals in need, but we work with other rescues to do so.

Since covid we have struggled and not asked for help. But now we are in need. We are in dire need to relocate so we are issueing a worldwide challenge. We know that money is tight. We know this because over covid many people came to us for help. We provided food and needs to families to keep their birds until their finances improved. This is something we had done previously, but the need was far greater. We struggled but never turned our backs. During covid, we also insured the wild birds were fed in our town, when we were in complete lockdown here in Ontario Canada.

We care for wild birds as well as domesticated when required.

In this challenge we are asking for very little. We would like to buy a home and build a much needed indoor/outdoor aviary. Nothing extravagant just something we can all call home and where we can provide the best care for the birds we take in.

Our challenge is this. We have set our starting goal at $20 000.00. It will obviously cost far more than this to do what we need. The cost to anyone who would like to donate is minimal. We would like to reach every heart out there that would love to help us. We are asking for every person to donate just a single dollar. One dollar from every good heart should help us reach our goal quicky and get us on the road to incredible changes. We would, of course, update on progress once we started the aviary construction and the move etc. We would be 100% transparent.


This is a BIG challenge but a small token from each pocketbook. Can we do this? If we can work 24/7 with our rescues, then a moment, for you, to share a dollar should be easy! I know that this worthy cause will touch your hearts. If you have questions, please ask! I am not good at asking for help and have probably been unclear in may ways and for this I appologise.

God bless you all

If you donate, we are forever greatful. If you can not, we understand but do ask that you take a moment to share our challenge.

If we all come together, we can save the world! Sometimes the world is simply the life of one soul.

Welcome to our precarious journey. Let's travel together!


Thank you so much for your time.

Praying

January 14th, 2025

I am praying that this is the year we are seen and heard. I know I don't update a lot but I suffer severe PTSD, anxiety, depression, and fighting for my birds, (that are the reason I keep going), is taking it's toll. I currently have 30 in sanctuary and none to find homes for because I don't want to fail any. We don't need a huge space, just one of our own so there is no fear of being homeless. This year could be the year I  lose everything. I help others because I know what it is like to not be helped when abused. I have so many birds here on medication from strokes and one that needs a wing amputation because he is living in pain. I have another (my best friend's bird) coming to me in the spring, because in December 2024 she passed away from brain cancer, and I promised her. They need better than what I offer now, all I need is them. I hope this year my heart is heard and I can rescue so many more that are being lost right now.


I know I should update more and post more but I sit and stare and and have no idea what to write or post other than pictures and videos and that just seems wrong. I am not very good with this internet stuff. 


  So, for today I put out this prayer:


Dear God, 


Please help us to help ourselves. Please lead me where I can be safe and I can do the most good for these amazing babies. I do this for them and in the process it helps me be better. God, please hear my cries. Bless everyone whether they can donate or not. The world is a mess right now, I know, but I feel healing is coming. Our fate is in Your hands, God. I know You see and hear us, now I pray You help us before we lose our home and we all become separated. I don't know how I will survive without these babies and many won't survive without me. You are great and I leave our fate in Your loving and capable hands.


Amen

We have found a few possible homes

November 22nd, 2023

We have found a few possible homes that will be incredible for the birds!  The homes themselves are $200,000.00 or less right now. The intention is to have a small space for myself and a huge space for them! All I need is their happiness and well being. It will take about 10 or 15 G to move as they are a great distance away. There is enough space to build an amazing outdoor aviary for all the birds to enjoy in the summer. I am currently turning away so many birds because I can not house them. It breaks my heart. It takes time to find the perfect home but people do not have time right now. Canada is failing and this makes it so that animals suffer. Especially exotics.


Our campaign is slow and I would love a Christmas where hearts were so big that we could have a home in the new year and begin building the aviary in the summer of 2024. The amount we are requesting is obviously far less than we require but it is a great start!

We pray for everyone who donates. Hearts like yours are very rare.  If you can't donate, please share. We know times are tough for everyone.

At this time we have 31 birds in sanctuary. It costs a great deal to pay for their food and our savings are dwindling with the cost increases. 

We are wishing everyone a happy holiday season.


If you have any questions, feel free to contact us on Facebook!


In our prayers always...


Prayer

October 30th, 2023

Dear God,


Please bless and protect the person reading this.


In Your grace let us reach our goal to help the innocent. Please bring us those who have a dollar to spare. If they need a dollar please let them find their dollar. God, in Your great wisdom I have faith, but I am afraid. The world that we live in is not kind and kindness is very hard to find. I pray, God, that You heal us all and lay Your hands upon us with Your blessing. Bring to us the things we need the most. Protect the innocents, and God, save us all from ourselves. :Let me be your humble servant to help more birds and animals. Times are tough God, but I have faith in Your love. You saw the sparrow fall, please, let me pick him up and love him.


Amen
