The amazing U2 girls, jealously within the flock
August 29, 2010 by LuAnn Apple
It truly is amazing to think that within a group of female U2s’ at M.A.R.S., Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary, there is jealously running rampant.
Take our very own Lilly for example. She will fly and dive bomb only the females if given the chance to do so. If we ever have a question about eye color, male or female, we let Lilly decide. Yesterday, Lotty, a female umbrella cockatoo, showed the same behavior when faced with visitors interested in adoption who came to our parrot rescue. She immediately pushed another female away to gain access to the humans. Emily, the other female cockatoo, simply looked on in dismay at the situation. Perhaps when Lotty has found a new home, Emily will have a chance to find a forever home too.
Please consider a donation to our cause so we can continue finding homes for all the M.A.R.S. members.
Sunday morning at M.A.R.S.
August 22, 2010 by LuAnn Apple
Ah!!!!!!, Sunday morning at M.A.R.S. Jazz music, special vanilla bean coffee, white bathrobe, hot spa, pancakes on the grill. Well those were my intensions. However, we had the storm of storms roll in yesterday afternoon. The outside aviaries were trashed, the birds miserable. So right to work. Fresh water and food, dry boxes to play in, a general all around clean up. The results, happy quiet birds, jazz music and all the rest will follow. Wishing you all a great Sunday from the entire crew here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.

M.A.R.S. and McKee, now there is a recipe for success. M.A.R.S. was invited to do two sessions of summer camp at McKee with the kids of Treasure Coast Elementery School. An amazing place by itself, http://www.mckeegarden.org/ McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach is wonderful to visit. Now add in some great kids and some amazing parrots and well you get the picture. Lorry and Chris Burgr, and two of their fids were the stars of the show. We also brought along Cuddles, Tiki and Stella for the kids to interact with and enjoy. We hope to be invited back. We hope to visit again very soon.
