Out of the cold and out of the blue

Lindsay, and a generous gift for M.A.R.S.
Today was grueling,yesterday was equally so and the day before and the day before that. You get the picture. All of the members of M.A.R.S. ARE INSIDE AND OUT OF THE COLD. Right when you think that this cold cold weather can’t continue, it does for one more night. Than an amazing volunteer, Jane comes in, and you just get to it, and do it. Cleaning and feeding and providing lots of boxes and things for all of the birds to keep busy and happy so there is quiet time. Extra treats provided like dried fruit and cheese cubes, again you get the picture right?
Well after all the work is done, it suffices to say that Jane and I are simply relieved to be finished, another day ended, the members of M.A.R.S. happy and content. Not so for their human caretakers, we’re spent. We also know that tomorrow it all starts all over again.
Than out of the blue, two people are at the door, Lindsay and her Mom. In their hands a card and an envelope containing donations that a group of Christmas caroling children collected for the members of M.A.R.S. This is what sets some days apart from all the others, and this is what makes it all so amazing. Thank-you to Lindsay, Linden (another great volunteer), Rue, Rowen, and Alyssa. We so appreciate your donation.
Happy New Year to one and all

Eight years ago, terrorists attacked our nation. This event effected us immeasureably and changed us forever. Our securities were breached, our defenses were compromised. We were vulnerable.
For Jane and Max

With loving care and balanced nutrients, Volunteer Extroidinaire Jane has given Max a chance for survival that otherwise would not have been possible. All her amazing efforts have given Max an extended life.
Now we need to give Jane back her life and provide a prosthetic beak for Max.
Any imput on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
The pictures attached are sad to view, but Max has a huge life force and desire to survive which, thanks to Jane, he has up to now. Please send any links if you know a source, and please donate to help provide the funds for Max to get a new beak.
All of us at M.A.R.S. WILL BE FOREVER GREATFULL. Max most of all.

Occasionally,some outsiders also find M.A.R.S. a safe haven. Look closely and you will see what I mean. The baby ringneck doves, and the baby screech owl, happy and healthy. Their parents chose great nest spots for them. And let’s not forget our resident iguana Gracie.
happy and safe

Bird of the week, not Lucky Baby, help M.A.R.S. give him a name
April 3, 2009 by LuAnn Apple · 6 Comments
This is one of two new members of the Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary, he certainly gives our recently adopted Quaker Lucky Baby a run in the cuteness department.
Help the Florida parrot rescue organization M.A.R.S. give him a name, let us here from you in the comments below. We will post the results in our blog.
Remember all parrots need a good bath or spray on a regular basis – and help to improve their lives by making a donation. Their appreciation will be very obvious.
P.S. Big thanks to Rene for the amazing art work (pictured above). It made the sign pop.
