No Christmas Presents This Year.

[WannaBeAParrot]

Instead of getting holiday presents this year for Pritti and family/friends, I am going to send gifts to parrots in need. Although I donate to avian causes throughout the year, this year I am going to tell anyone that plans to buy me or Pritti a gift, that instead they should go to a certain Rescue's amazon wishlist link and buy something there instead, which will then ship directly. Seriously, there is nothing I actually "need", and Pritti has tons of bird toys, plus his favorites -- whole rolls paper towels, wood, and empty boxes.

It's a way to create awareness. non-bird folks to get involved and help, whether it be a bag of food, a perch, a small or large toy, or something very grand. Then I'm going to thank them on my FB page (if it is okay with them) for buying and donating a gift to the parrot Rescue.

ADDITION:
P.S. I'm going to let each person know that instead of me giving them a gift, that I donated on their behalf a gift to abandoned, hurt, hungry, homeless, and sick parrots that are being cared for by volunteers, and that the gift made a bird's life a little better and a volunteer's a little easier.

That's really nice. Thank you for helping the parrots in need! Now I feel bad because I was planning on buying my bird one of those big parrot playset things while there is so many birds out there that barely have food. Maybe I should just build one myself and donate the money instead? Hmm I don't know..

Yes, Yes! That's a great idea. You'll have so much fun building one yourself. I have seen many great ideas and instructions in this forum and on DIY sites. Then you'll make exactly what you want, size, shape, etc.

DO IT !!!
