SWEAR volunteers had an amazing time visiting Opportunity Village’s Bonanza Club Program with some of our bird ambassadors and foster flock. We loved chatting about parrot care, rescue life, and responsible ownership. But, the real highlight was watching everyone connect and share smiles with the birds.
​To top off an already great day, the members gifted our flock several handmade enrichment toys, and our parrots give them a resounding approval.
​Huge thanks to Opportunity Village for welcoming us and for the generous toy donations. Thank you for supporting our rescue! 💚
Check out our parrots enjoying the custom made toys👇👇
