Our day with the Ottawa Parrot Club

I would like to thank the Ottawa Parrot Club for their warm welcome and generous donation to the rescue.  My husband and I had a really nice time and felt very welcome by the club members.  I hope one day we can do it again.  As we mentioned when we were there, please feel free to contact us for any questions or behavior questions you may have.  We look forward to working with your club in the future.

City of Kawartha Lakes Fire Service Pet Program Underway

We are pleased to announce a new initiative for the City of Kawartha Lakes Fire Department.  They have just launched a new Pet Program where they now have resuscitation equipment designed to assist pets that are caught in a Fires in the City of Kawartha Lakes.  Area residents will be given window stickers to be placed on the outside of the homes indicating if there are pets inside and what type.  All efforts will be made by the Kawartha Lakes Fire Fighters to get the pets out of the home and special resuscitation devices are now installed in the Fire Trucks to help resuscitate the animals.  Once they are safe, they will be transported to area shelters for emergency care.  We are pleased to a part of this program as we will be the emergency drop off centre for Parrots and other birds.

We will help out with fundraising for this new program and to bring awareness to the community by attending events with the parrots.
