Katie Update

We recently told you that long-term resident Katie was preparing to move into a home -- a milestone we weren't sure would ever happen.

She spent her last day at the Center making an impressive wood pile. This is what $300 in toys looks like when it's been reduced to matchsticks:It's so important to provide parrots with destructible toys. They have a need to chew, and if they don't have an appropriate outlet, like toys, they will seize whatever they can find. Like baseboards, cupboard doors, or antique desks. All of which can be toxic to parrots depending on how the wood was treated.

We are going to miss Katie, but are so happy for her that she has this wonderful opportunity!
