My Nonprofit Reviews

I had lost my rescue quaker and reached out to Amanda at CBR just before the pandemic. I am in Michigan, but did not trust the rescues here to be in it for the birds. They were in for profit. I filled out the application, was approved, then covid shut everyone down. Amanda and I still kept in touch. I knew I wanted a quaker, but also felt birds found their person, so I was not in it for a specific one. My husband and I drove 3 hours to interview with her and meet the feathered babies that were ready for a new home. I meant three, Echo, she was a shy but sweet girl. Another( forgot name) that was very sweet and nervous, and then Pluto! He was all about Amanda, followed her every where. Amanda tried hiding to give us a chance to meet and bond, but Pluto kept calling for her. After about 2 hours, I told her I wanted to give Pluto a new home. I remember her face and she was like why! It was a voice of concern and intrigued. I explained, the other two will for sure be adopted based on them being sweet and loveable. I knew Pluto needed that special person to know that he was a bird that bonded and committed to that person. She was emotional, as I feel, it was she knew he would be extremely loved. Going on three years after adopting him, he is my life! Amanda is available for me and Pluto for any questions, I am also comfortable taking rescues to her that people have reached out to me for help when I am full. Their compassion and commitment to the birds are beyond having a heart! They know that wellness, diet, enrichment etc are part of these birds life and they ensure they are all first.
