100% trust them. I appreciate everything they did for us. We did a surrender. They provided open communication and let us know our options. The bird we surrendered is doing great but I trust their judgment if the situation turned out different.

I have brought an injured barred owl & a young dove. Julie referred me to another person who takes in larger birds like owls. They have never refused to take them in. If they can help, they will. Please donate to their cause. They are very passionate & caring people, but need your help.

Driver of the pale green company vehicle drives recklessly. 3rd time in as many months I've witnessed a reckless maneuver down Johnston from this exact vehicle. Nothing against the company, but driving as such reflects poorly.

This is the BEST rescue I’ve come in contact with. You can tell birds are truly this lady’s heart and passion! I took a newly hatched abandoned wood duck to her that we found in our yard, and she took him without question. I know he is thriving in her care. An amazing rescue!

Thank you, Chelsey.
