What does one Rescue called M.A.R.S., + Volunteers + Donations add up to?

It adds up to the perfect formula for a well run, very successful fundraiser to benefit our exotic bird rescue known as M.A.R.S..

Anyone who has ever run their own yard or garage sale knows full well, the effort and preparation necessary to pull off a really good and well staged one, is staggering to say the least.

We are happy to say, this sale was the best one we’ve ever had at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. Please know, that is saying alot, as we’ve put on some amazing sales here at the rescue to raise funds for M.A.R.S. parrots in the past. We invite all of you to visit our older blog posts to view those pictures.

What a simply amazing team of volunteers, and great people donating lots of really good items to sell can accomplish is tantamount to continuing the work we do at M.A.R.S.. Without these funds, helping all the parrots who come into our exotic bird rescue, adoption and rehabilitation sanctuary would not be possible.

Our sincere thanks to all the Volunteers who joined in and gave their time and energy towards making this such a successful endeavor. Please take time to view our pics which we will post on our Facebook page, Facebook.com/marsparrots.

It is also our sincerest hope, that you remember M.A.R.S. when ever a donation to our cause is possible. As always we need all the help we can get to keep helping all of them.

M.A.R.S. / YARD SALE

Yes it is happening once again. Feb.22nd and Feb.23rd M.A.R.S.is having a yard sale to raise some much needed funds for all the avians here at our exotic bird rescue.

What a way to start off the New Year and with all the donated items coming in it should be a whopper of a sale.

We are accepting items to sell till Wednesday afternoon.

So if you have been meaning to go through that garage or closet now is the time to do so. Bring your items to Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary or call for a pick-up 321-725-8800 or e-mail marsparrots@aol.com.

Thank-you from all of us here at our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S. We are a registered 501(c)3 organization.

A fire in the fireplace a Sunday morning sermon on the radio.

Amazing morning here in Florida. To think our temperatures could go from almost 80 degrees yesterday afternoon, to a chilly 44 on this very crisp and clear Sunday Morning

We had a great day here at M.A.R.S. on Saturday. People we love to see, prior adopters, came for a visit, along with new possible adopters.  People from Atlanta, Orlando, Georgia and Louisiana visited too.We also took in a few boarders for those folks with plans to be away during New Years Eve celebrations.

Jane, Bill and I worked very hard to make sure all the Cockatoos, Macaws, Amazons, and all the rest of the avians who reside here at our exotic bird rescue had everything they needed for their cages to be clean and cozy. New boxes, good treats, wood to chew,  and a stuffed animal or two(thank-you Bill) for those who do not like to feel alone, like our Jakers for instance. Birdy boot camp attendee Shelby aka Sheldon is learning to cuddle a few stuffed animals too. The outside aviaries received an extra cleaning in lieu of the rains that were predicted to arrive early evening, but thankfully the stormy weather never came our way. The cold did.

So downstairs I went to start a fire. With my laptop, coffee and pumpkin bread in hand, brought by my friend Susan from Downtown Produce, a blog was my goal. The blog subject was eluding me. I turned on the radio for some soothing holiday music, and instead, a sermon from a local church filled my ears. I wanted to turn the dial,  but soon found the words  making me a bit teary eyed. The message was that if you have been scorned or put down by people in your past learn to trust again for they are not worth the time you gave to them. And if you need help in this life do not be afraid to ask for it and ask for it loud and with clarity.

 We are asking all of you to please support, and donate to our cause and we are asking loud and with clarity. We need all of your support at this time to continue on with all the work we do here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. Please Help us to Help all of those who come through our doors.

So as the saying on this 1925 fireplace so aptly states, let us all have a New Year filled with Love and cheer. From all of us to all of you.
