Attention, gardeners! Part 2

A few months ago, we put out an appeal for gardeners' extra produce. We'd like to thank those of you that have provided us with fresh veggies for the parrots, and put out a reminder now that harvest season is in full swing that we can always use more!

Last week, one of our volunteers spent over 8 hours food processing donated vegetables!

Among our donors was Gary, from Gary's Market. He is at the Menomonee Falls Farmers Market Wednesdays from 8-4, and has a wide variety of baked goods and human treats in addition to delicious fruits and vegetables.

Gary had about 30 pounds of green beans that he knew he wouldn't be able to sell, as they needed to be eaten that day or they might go bad. Perfect for our situation! Our volunteer was able to process everything and freeze it to feed to the parrots later (mixed up with other vegetables, of course!)

It just worked out perfectly -- the food didn't go to waste and it will help to feed the birds in the weeks to come.

Thanks again to those who have helped us, in any capacity, and remember us when you have more zucchini than you know what to do with!

Attention, gardeners!

This summer, we seem to have a larger than usual number of large, veggie-loving parrots. We've been going broke buying produce! (Don't worry, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but these parrots do eat a lot!) Now that nicer weather is upon us in Wisconsin, we're hoping that some of you might be able to help us out!

This is what the parrots love to eat:Made from fresh veggies:If you have a garden that produces more than your family can eat, we'd love some of your excess! Or, if you have an extra plot of land and want to plant a parrot garden, give us a call and we can let you know some of their favorites (like jalapeno peppers...)If you're not sure if something is parrot-safe or not, give us a call and we can let you know.

Thanks in advance for helping us to feed them a great diet!

We've got food!

Last week, we got huge shipments in from several of our food vendors. Our shelves are overflowing. We have over one ton of food in stock!

At the Center, all of your purchases go directly back to the birds -- providing them with shelter, food, toys, vet care, etc., while they stay with us.
We only carry the highest quality foods -- products that we feed the parrots at the Center, and that our volunteers feed their own birds. Brands we carry include Harrison's, Goldenfeast, WingNuts, Totally Organic Pellets, and Zupreem.Our volunteers can help you find the right food for your birds -- just stop by and we can help you out!
