I just wanted to write an update to my previous review of AZEBR.
This morning, one of my cockatiels (that we adopted from the rescue) decided he didn't want to climb down off the perch to reach his morning scrambled eggs. So he threw himself down the cage and hurt himself. There was a couple of tiny drops of blood. To me it was the end of the world. My son and I were nearly beside ourselves with worry for our "baby". As it is right before payday we were short on cash and a trip to the vet would be impossible unless the situation was dire. So we called the rescue to ask questions.
Tyler tried to walk me through everything I needed to do over the phone. He could sense my growing panic at what I needed to do so he and Curt hopped in the truck and came over. I live far away from where they were, but they didn't care. They knew the bird needed help and that I did, too. :) The showed up, handled the situation (it was very minor) and calmed an anxious mommy and son down and gave us tips in case this happened in the future.
Does this sound like a rescue that doesn't care? That's after money and ripping people off? No, it does not. The guys got NOTHING out of this trip. I even offered gas money since they had to come so far and they turned it down. They said that the birds well being is what mattered.
They didn't have to come. In fact, they could have just said to call a vet because they weren't vets. But they care about their charges - even after they find a forever home. And because we have a relationship with them, they care about the bird's new family as well.
Seriously, you can't find a better place than the AZ Exotic Bird Rescue. These guys CARE.
