Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary

M.A.R.S.

Beautiful, disheveled, amazing (girl) Umbrella Cockatoo named Ziggy

    
   

 We are experiencing a very windy evening here on the beaches at MARS. By now you all know that is the abbreviation for Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. After a good day cleaning and feeding the MARS exotic birds, I invited Miss Ziggy out front for a brief time outside and it turned into a perfect photo opportunity. Hope you all enjoy. 

Please remember, we need all of your help to continue doing all we do here at our nonprofit parrot rescue. You make it possible to help all those who continue to come through our doors to find new lives and new families who will love and care for them. This I can assure you is no easy undertaking. Thanks for reading. Thanks to all of you for your continued donations to our organization. Please be sure to share this to all you can reach. 

Dexter the Caique, adopted from M.A.R.S., happy family happy bird.

This is one of those adoptions where everything just fit together just right. They already had a Caique and were considering another as a new family member and a friend for their existing bird. 

As a no fault adoption rescue, if it had not worked out, Dexter would have been returned and they would  have been able to  try another bird. 

Thankfully the adoption worked, and happy endings are what we here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary strive for.

Please remember us and donate to our exotic bird rescue organization when you can. We are a registered non profit EIN 80-0161378. As I always say  “M.A.R.S. needs all your help, to continue helping all exotics who come our way”. This is no easy endeavor and all of you can play a major role in helping adoptable exotic birds find safe, loving and enriching new homes.

 

Let there be DRAMA, bird drama that is.

  • My “Web Master” Marc,  has given me a new way to share stories  and pictures and links of Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary , which I am hoping will allow me to be more creative and visual with my posts and not so afraid of screwing everything up when I do so. However, all ready I have erred, by creating a run on sentence. Oh well!

My all to brief Christmas get a way to Asheville, where we all converged to celebrate the season allowed me a chance to be tutored by Marc and hopefull retain some of the vast amounts of information he shared with me.

  • From using this venue to do posts,  to using Instagram for attracting followers to our cause,  to direct postings to our  MARS you tube and so on. You get the idea. Increasing our followers and our viewers to our Florida Parrot Rescue MARS website is also needed for 2016.
  • Now if I can just figure out how to do simple paragraphs without bullets and numbers then I suppose I will have it down. Perhaps I will try a picture right now and then get really brave and start posting adoptable birds right here as well. Wish me luck!! Cause I sure need it. ps I miss Christmas decorations already.
  • And the picture of wine is just for fun. Right Janey?

Our annual fill the Christmas Tree Toy Drive is coming to a close.

This year we are excited to say we have raised $675.00 from our  Facebook posting toward our annual “Fill the Christmas Tree Toy Drive”. Four very generous donors helped us get this far and we are so very grateful to them for doing so.

Now here is the reason for this post so late in the toy fund drive. All here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary are wondering if our supporters who receive  our web page feed, or simply follow our blog posts which sorry to say are few and far between, might just be able to help us reach our goal of  an additional 200.00 more so we can place our toy order ASAP……

We know this is last minute but as always we need all of your help to continue doing what we do here at M.A.R.S..

So if any of you can find it in your heart to donate at this wonderful time of the year  we can safely say you have helped  keep a whole lot of  parrots very quiet and happy for many months to come. At least three or four that is……

Donations can be made right here through our web page by simply clicking on the donate button.  And as I always say you will have made many beaks here at our  Florida based Parrot Rescue very very happy indeed.

Happy Holidays everyone and a very Merry Christmas to all.

Amazon Smile could put a smile on all of our beaks

It has been a long and hard but very rewarding journey since M.A.R.S. Began in the Spring of 2008 and our journey is far from over. To continue on we need all of your help to do so. Amazon.smile.com is really an easy way to help out,  all you have to do is shop and spend,  they do all the rest. Although the percentage is very small it could add up if you pass the word and get everyone you know to use the site and specify Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary as their charity of choice. Thank you to all who do so.
