I moved in very close to this shop and was very taken by it. Great people doing a great thing, great birds given a second chance. Because I am in such close proximity, I swing by as often as possible to see my friends Murphy and Diego (Birds, not people). If I had my own home I would take Diego with me in a heartbeat. Anthropomorphism is an amazing thing to experience with these winged buddies of mine.
I just moved out here on impulse about two weeks ago and am working hard to, well, find gainful work in my field. You see, having a bird is more responsibility than many believe, so having at least a medium sized place where bird chirping is not an issue is very important. I hope to take on one of these birds eventually so hopefully my current endeavors end successfully.
The staff here is great, the birds are great, and the environment itself breathes life into me. It's a wonderful experience to see such simple operations working to do good in the community without turning into a money making machine. I hope that the funds they do retain last a long while, as a place like this closing down for anyway would be a big downer for the community. See you later Murphy and Diego; I hope you both find a great family soon!
