Visitor

Today, something spooked the birds, who took off flying in circles around the room.
Harry came in to the room and discovered what scared them.

A red shouldered hawk was sitting on the fence looking into the bird room.
We comforted Sido (who was the most spooked) and then lowered the blinds so she couldn’t see the hawk.
Here’s a little clip of the hawk. I took the photo/video through the window, so the quality isn’t that great (it’s also raining).

Giving Tuesday

Today is #GivingTuesday. Cooper decided she wanted to use the money she has made from her Redbubble shop to donate treats and toys to Free Flight Exotic Bird Sanctuary and to Ginger’s Parrot Rescue.

Both rescues have a donation page. Other ways to help are by sponsoring a bird or donating items from their Amazon wish lists.

Turkey Time

Cooper has a shop on Redbubble. She donates a percentage of her sales to her favorite bird rescues. The past couple years, Cooper decided to adopt a turkey through Farm Sanctuary. This year she decided to adopt again.

You can read more about Farm Sanctuary here.
Cooper recommends skipping the turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s all about the sides anyway.
