Central Wyoming Aviary- Rescue & Sanctuary

03/01/2024

It with a very heavy heart that I write this post, so bare with me...
Due to personal circumstances of the board members, a lack of public interest, and the loss of our facility coming this summer, CWA has decided to dissolve as a 501c3 avian rescue.

For over 10 years, CWA has rescued, rehabilitated and adopted out abused, neglected and/or unwanted parrots in Wyoming and the surrounding states. Since inception, CWA has placed thousands of birds. The work we have done matters.

When a 501c3 dissolves, the organization must either turn over all assets to the government or to another like 501c3 organization. CWA has decided to disperse all birds and assets to SWEAR. SouthWest Exotic Avian Rescue (SWEAR) is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit avian rescue based in Las Vegas, Nevada. For many years, CWA and SWEAR have operated as sister rescues, helping each other out, in the best interest of the birds. We are so very grateful that SWEAR has stepped up and helped CWA out during this very difficult time.

Wyoming may have another 501c3 avian rescue coming soon.
CWA adopter, Charlene W., has decided that she wants to start her own rescue (Friends of Feather). When everything is official, we will share all of the information for the public.

CWA has filed our intent to dissolve with the state of Wyoming and the IRS. CWA will be completely dissolved the summer of 2024 and a public announcement will be made with every step and detail of the dissolution.

Adoption Announcement!!
This one is very special because Brooke is so special to us. After months of volunteering and visiting, Brooke decided it was time to make Rainbow's adoption official and we are thrilled. These 2 were absolutely made for each other.
Congratulations!!!!!

Abu update for everyone. So far, Abu has had 2 beak trims, lots of showers, destroyed some toys, enjoyed hours of preening and cuddles and she absolutely loves her new cage.

Below are some before and after beak pictures. Her beak is very brittle and scary to trim but we are getting there.

Her personality is really beginning to come out and she's a little clown. She is cage aggressive but loves people attention once she is out of her cage.

Tonight we received a generous donation from Lisa Norris and Lorraine Tibbetts. Lorraine sadly passed away recently and her family sent a donation to Lisa N. to donate to the rescue of her choice, in her honor, because she loved birds. We are honored that Lisa selected CWA. It is truly touching when people that think of animal welfare organizations to donate to in times like this. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Lorraine and Lisa 🫶

Meet Abu

Abu was surrendered last night and her owners stated that they can longer take care of her. They stated that the vet in their area would no longer see Abu because her beak issues were so extensive. It's not our place to determine what is true or not. Abu is with us now and for that, we are so thankful. If you scroll through the photos, you will see how much better Abu's beak is looking after I trimmed it last night. It will take several sessions to treat her scissor beak.

If you would like to donate towards her care, please click the donate button below.

Please no hate on the comments section 🙌
Let's just show Abu some love 🫶
