My boyfriend Theodore Palkovic and I ( Jodi Steely) opened a 501c3 non profit Parrot Rescue. Right now we're leasing 3 acres on Styx River in Robertsdale Al and once my boyfriends divorce goes thru we're going to purchase the property. When this property is ours we're going to start construction of the trails that go down to Styx River with enclosures along the trails for people to come enjoy a walk and see the birds, and a building that will be the office which will include a quarantine room and a vet care area . We are taking in birds that need a home in the meantime due to people either passing away or can no longer care for them due to illness or they were abused or released into the wild where they can't survive. We're not opened to the public yet. Donations don't have to be money, we could use supplies, cages, news paper, food and nuts for the birds, money to go towards their veterinary care. You won't find us on Facebook or Instagram at this point someone hacked the account and we filed a grievance with the Alabama State attorney general office but we are a legitimate 501c3 non profit. You can find us on www.styxriverparrotrescue.com, tik tok or youtube. We would greatly appreciate any help you can give. We are also piloting a program to have certain birds recognized as emotional support animals for the treatment of PTSD in veterans, police, first responders and battered woman. My boyfriend is a retired Alabama State Police officer and I came from a battered woman syndrome. So we both understand what PTSD is. It affected both of us in the last 3 years. I was going thru a rough divorce and he has his own issues when we found a parrot rescue in Pensacola and we started volunteering there. The peace the birds brought us gave us the idea why couldn't we help birds that need a home and people that might be going thru what we are and maybe the birds can help them like they did us. I'm December we took in a green wing macaw that was severely abused and pulled out all his wing and tail feathers. Just since December he's getting his feathers coming back in, he climbs down his cage and runs across the sofa to me. and cuddles on the sofa with me and Bama has a very funny personality. We have received Bama, some parakeets, a sun conjure Rio, a green Indian ringneck named pretty bird, and 2 weeks ago we received a very funny blue and gold macaw named Calypso who took to me right away. Plus we have 3 of our own birds. You can reach us at 251-224-2951 it email us at styxriverparrots@gmail.com. Thank you we would greatly appreciate any help.
