For those of you who’ve been with the Refuge from the early days, you might remember Harley, a Moluccan Cockatoo who came to the Refuge before we were officially a rescue. A coworker wanted a bird. I found a bird and he asked if I’d go with him. We went and met Harley, a large and very skittish bird. We took him home and when we got inside, my coworker decided he didn’t want him. Of course I couldn’t bring him back so I kept him. He never warmed up to me but he allowed me to pick him up and take him out and put him back in to his cage. Not long after, I took in two female Moluccan Cockatoos (PJ & Peaches) in need of a home. While these two girls were very bonded, PJ shared Peaches with Harley and all was fine. That was until Peaches passed away. Harley was lost and so was PJ. Harley never recovered and that was when I decided to find a home for him where he might have a better chance at finding a new friend. As luck would have it, my friend from Mollywood, Betsy had room for him. Harley lived out there, surrounded by so many wonderful Cockatoos. Under the care of Betsy, he loved and lived a happy life. Harley passed away surrounded by a loving family! Fly free Harley, Peaches will be there to greet you, my friend.

Exotic Animal Prohibition Alert – Act Before July 4th!

Update to the America COMPETES Act. This legislation includes an amendment to the Lacey Act, that is passed, could seriously impact your ability to travel interstate with your pets (anything other than cats/dogs).

The bill has moved to committee where legislators are voting on what will remain and become law. As an animal shelter for exotics we support some of the bill, but we are vehemently opposed to the Lacey Act amendment which will have a serious negative impact on our ability to properly care for our animals. They snuck this amendment in hoping to get it passed without much resistance. It’s more important than ever to let your voice be heard to prevent this amendment from becoming law. Follow this link to let your voice be heard: https://usark.org/alert/. For more information on the Act, follow this link: https://usark.org/2022lacey/.
