Gracie, our mascot, semi frozen but fine

Thinking about a Florida parrot rescue like M.A.R.S., iguanas might not be what comes to  mind. Exotic bird rescue consists of many facets such as adoptions, rehabilitation, boarding, and daily bird care by great volunteers, and always, praying for donations. These are the things you would  expect.

Well, with the recent cold, we experienced another dilemma  added to our list of ever evolving tasks. How to extract our mascot Gracie from way under a wood deck and how to thaw her out once we achieved this.

With this said, take a look at the photos, and know that it took three days for her to be back to her old self. How we did everything  is another story, for another time.
