PLEASEEEEEEE!!!! Do things always have to come in threes????

Saturday at M.A.R.S. was a mix of good, bad, and just plain ouch!

Oh it started out ok, with the promise of a beautiful day for visitors and for the exotic birds who reside at our parrot rescue.

The preliminary property clean up, the setting out of outside water dishes and preperation of treats for the Macaws, Cockatoos.,Amazons and assorted other species who we have in our care here at M.A.R.S. all went well. Then……

First, I got bit really bad by Bryan a Cockatoo who was boarding with us. He was adopted from M.A.R.S.  by a family he really loves, he simply missed them and really wanted to go home.

Second Keiffer and Dusty both Toos, have decided they can no longer live in harmony together. Keiffer promptly went after Dusty and yes took a small chunk of Dustys’  toe. More on this at the end of the story.

Third, a small Senegal whose name turns out to be Snuggles,(he or she is not so snuggley), decided to fly out an open window (clipped secondary feathers) and we searched for a while till we got to busy to do so any more.

To recap all this. I easily bandaged my wound, no big deal. Had a very difficult time getting Dusty to stop bleeding but had great help with assisting nurses Jane and Dominique. Hey thanks guys his toe is fine this morning. Gave him an extra dose of love last night, always good medicine. I promised him Keiffer would be kept under closer watch too. As for the Senegal Snuggles, he flew back here while we had lots of visitors but would not come down from the bamboo till this morning, at you guessed it, sunrise.

So thank you St. Francis for seeing him through the night. And all of us here at M.A.R.S. wish all of you a very Happy Easter.

 

Saturday at M.A.R.S.

Yes finally a quick update to Saturday the 26th. M.a.r.s. will be open as we have finally figured how to be in two places at the same time. Half of the volunteers will open up M.A.R.S. as usual 11:00, and the rest will be headed to Immaculate Conception Catholic Church to get the remains of their rummage sale for at a yard sale here at M.A.R.S. in the near future.

With that said, I am sure a run on sentence, just remember the M.A.R.S. TEAM hopes you join us for Saturday here with the birds, and for all the special events we are planning to attend and have here at M.A.R.S.

As always please remember a donation to our cause when you visit helps us to continue helping all the exotic birds that we can.

What days?? These days. Quick update for alL

Yes, we here at M.A.R.S. all know it is MLK remembrance day. Knowing that alot of people will have the day off we will be open today, Monday the 21st from 11:00 to 4:30. Wednesday the 23rd also. A quick blog on our Saturday hours will be explained in another blog asap.

Today promises to be a beautiful day weather wise so plan on coming for a visit and staying for a while to play with all the Amazons, Cockatoos, Macaws and many other species of parrots who reside here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.

We ask all who visit our exotic parrot sanctuary to please remember a donation to our cause when you do. You help us to help them in every way.

From all of us at our Florida parrot Rescue M.A.R.S., we sincerely thank you.

Rain, rain go away. M.A.R.S. avians want to come out and play Today Jan. 7th 2013

Here at M.A.R.S. all of  yesterday was spent taking down probably the best Christmas decorating display we have ever had at the rescue. The 12th Night is always when the decorations come down. The D.A.R. Christmas home tour we were included in was the inspiration to go a bit over the top. Note, same stuff we always use with a few new additions,  but after 30 years of collecting it always goes up differently. Anyway this blog should have happened last night.

This week is going to be an interesting one. Right now I only know we are open today Monday the 7th and Saturday the 12th.
Today even looks like 30% rain so bring an umbrella if you visit M.A.R.S.
Here at our exotic bird rescue the parrots actually love the rain so I am sure the Macaws, Cockatoos, Amazons and all the rest who reside here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary will appreciate getting out for a while as we clean the inside bird rooms.
We hope that all who follow our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S. had a chance to see our pictures from Saturday the 5th on our facebook page.

Please above all remember, it is only with your donations that our rescue can continue helping all of them to find new forever homes. There are many birds who are waiting for their chance to come into our exotic bird rescue and adoption facility.
Once again, from all of us here at M.A.R.S. have a very happy New Year.

December 31st open and January 5th open.

A quick look at Weatherbug and the volunteer schedule allow for opening on the above days. Yes we have pick-ups and drop offs that will not be affected as prior arrangements were made for some of the other days. Happy New Year to all, feathered and human from all of us here at M.A.R.S.
