My Nonprofit Reviews

My wife and I have been married for 12 years this June. Ever since we got married, and my service in the army, we've dedicated our lives to serving others and working with non profits. We've mostly done dog rescue work but since the army stationed us in Washington state in 2011 and bought our house in 2015 we decided to branch out more which led us to farm animal rescue and all parrot rescue.

In 2016 we decided we would love to open our home to parrots. Meeting Sonya and Steve (directors of apr) has been life changing. Hearing how they got started with a rescue of a bird named mealy and after multiple visits we developed a friendship and got rejuvenated in our pursuit to try and join the journey of making this world a better place. November 2016 we were adopted by our first parrot, a Congo African gray, named Reno. Hes made every day enjoyable again.

Since then weve adopted a few other birds also. Tricky (a Congo African gray), Phoenix (a yellow Indian ring neck) and a few cockatiels. I would highly encourage others to join our life journey to advocate and educate others on the need to adopt and not shop. Thank you apr for changing my life.
