Hunter and Tripp are mommy’s sweet little angels.

This was sent to Zeb for some reason.

No need to go to my friends if you have a question. You can ask me.

No one harassed this woman, she came after us here. She stopped seeing our posts because we blocked her. 🙂

And yes ma’am. I AM still a convicted felon as we haven’t gone to the Supreme Court yet.

Felony Melanie, reporting for duty.

It’s pretty easy to not be a sh*tty human being. I’m not sure why some of you have so much trouble with it.

Warning…if your birds find out you have these, they will fashion prison shanks out of their nails and use their mouths as powerful weapons to procure them from your possession.

And they are super not kidding about it.

It seems, our new systems are working. I am so excited about the next chapter of this rescue. Sometimes getting forced into action with an unexpected set of circumstances has merits for determination, motivation and moxie.

We tucked. We rolled.

And now...

What we'll be seeing moving forward is Corporate Business meets Rescue Culture.

I do not expect those two things to always live in harmony, but they must try.

We are working on smartening our rescue in every sense. We begin with empowering our teams to organize and lead projects and help with things like adoptions and surrenders, and some of the bigger projects.

We are tightening up our website to make it perform better and to be easier to understand and use.

We are automating scheduling for volunteers, boarding, grooming (when we begin taking appointments again), vet clinic, project sign up, and job interviews.

We are automating email responses using our pre-written responses we usually copy/paste to answer our emails and submissions to respond and then auto-follow up for things that need it.

The moment birds come in, they get their pictures snapped, and a profile made using their surrender application with information form the surrendering family will allow for profile pages to be built easily and quickly for a timely announcement of their arrival.

Andrea and Stacey are charting and keeping records up to date in real time -and maybe I figure out ways to automate that as well.

Freeing myself and our team up from all that admin work will allow more time for the things that matter, such as launching the memorial website that I fully expect will fund us when we hit our groove, and the other business ventures we already have.

We are moving some things around, and changing the way we do a lot of things here.

Rescue Needs:

The rescue is in need of a new(er) fridge. Our fridge was donated a few years ago, and it's served its purpose - but it's not in good shape and its not energy efficient. The seals are so bad on it that it's regularly popping open and ruining stuff in the freezer.

If anyone has a fridge they are no longer using, we would love if you would consider donating one, which will save me from having to put one on my credit card.

I'm hoping for one with a nice freezer on it, as we have a lot of things we keep in the freezer.

Let us know if you have one we could have.

We are also in need of a new window AC.

Thank you!

🌟 Happily Ever After Starts Here 🦜💕

We’re building a brand-new Happily Ever After section on our website—and we want to feature the incredible stories of our adopted birds living their very best lives with you.

If you’ve adopted from us, we’d love for you to share:

✨ What the adoption process was like for you
✨ How your bird settled in
✨ Their personality quirks, favorite foods, or funny habits
✨ And of course… a couple of great photos of your feathered family member living their best life!

💌 Send your story and pics to [email protected], or message us directly here.

We’ll be choosing some of our favorites to feature on the website—and we can’t wait to show the world what love, patience, and a second chance can do.

🕊️ A gentle note: Many of the people who surrendered these birds still follow us. Often, their decision to let go was heartbreaking—and they truly do care where their bird ended up. Please keep your story kind and respectful, even if your bird came with challenges. This space is meant to honor the full journey.

We’ll only use your first name and last initial, no full names or personal info.

These stories help us show what’s possible—and remind all of us why we do what we do.

Our surrender page just got the same treatment.

View at www.birdsandbeaks.org/surrender and comment with any criticism or corrections.

Choosing where your bird goes next is a big deal. Make sure wherever you take them is the right fit. Here's how to choose, even if it's not us.

🚨 WEBSITE UPDATES! 🚨
We gave three of our most-used pages a much-needed glow-up. Why? Because let’s be real—some of them were wordy as hell, and even we were overwhelmed.

🦜 Adoption Page:
Now clearer, cleaner, and less shouty. FAQs are tucked into a tidy little accordion so you can read more if you want, not because we trapped you in a wall of text.
👉 www.birdsandbeaks.org/adopt

🚫 Visit Page:
Spoiler alert: We’re not a petting zoo. People keep showing up unannounced, so we rewrote this page to be blunt. Like, really blunt.
👉 www.birdsandbeaks.org/visit

🐦 Available Birds:
This is your one-stop shop to see who’s looking for a home. We update it constantly, so check back often.
👉 www.birdsandbeaks.org/birds

We’re overhauling the whole site to be easier to use, more to the point, and to cut down on the “Rescues are soooo crazy and it’s IMPOSSIBLE to adopt!” complaints. (We hear you. And also… calm down.)

All right! The Vet Clinic schedule is pretty stacked. We are now opening to those not subscribed to the newsletter on our website.

There are a couple appointments left and if you keep checking back in case there’s any cancellations you might be able to slide in that way if it becomes full.

Clinic is Monday, July 21st and Tuesday the 22nd.

Reunited!

Anyone missing this guy? He’s at the rescue right now.

Andrea has been busting tail to get all the available birds their own pages for adoption.

One more step closer to launching memorials! We’re going to work on the different sizes next and then we will be building the website.

I think we’re gonna start with 10 orders to test the system and shipping and all of that and see how it goes. I haven’t decided how I’m gonna organize that yet, but if you would like to be considered for the first 10, they will be for 12 x 12 memorials on granite with an image edge of your animal or person, and text if you’d like it, they will be $150, plus shipping. And the shipping is probably not gonna be as pretty as it will be in the future, but we’re just trying to figure out what works here.

If you would like to be considered for us to do a custom memorial for the first 10, let us know here in comments and I will see how to go about getting this organized.
