Giving Tuesday

This year Cooper decided to donate her earnings from her Redbubble and Zazzle stores to Burge Bird Rescue.
Since 1990, Burge Bird Rescue has been taking in companion birds and helping them find new homes. They take in 300 birds every year – some in need of medical care.
The rescue is an IRS and state approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit rescue organization.

Cooper decided that once a month she wants to feature those who rescue, shelter or are active in the conservation of her feathered friends. This month she would like to promote Burge Bird Rescue.burgeThis Kansas City, Missouri non profit was started by veterinarian Dr. Julie Burge in 1990. She, her staff and volunteers provide medical help and shelter for birds. Birds available for adoption include parrots, doves, cockatiels and budgies. You must pass a screening interview to adopt. Birds that will remain at the shelter (due to special needs or medical issues, for example) reside in the Sanctuary Room. 12-23-15SanctuaryRoomThe website has bios and photos of the birds and information about bird care. There are  rescue stories, too. Some birds are available for sponsorship.1-16DuckyErnieIf you are thinking about sponsoring a bird, donating to a worthy cause or would like to add a bird to your family (and are in the Missouri area), please contact Burge Bird Rescue here.
