NEWSPAPERS NEEDED

THE BIRDS GO THRU 100'S OF NEWSPAPERS EACH WEEK, SO THEY ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF THE LARGER PAPERS SUCH AS THE NY TIMES, THE CHIEF & LAW JOURNAL.

I ONLY USE NEWSDAYS FOR THE INJURED BIRDS, NIKKI AND PARALYZED AMAZON, BABY WHO LIVE IN THEIR WAGONS. I GET PLENTY OF NEWSDAYS FROM THE

LOCAL LIBRARIES.

SO IF ANYONE HAS A COLLECTION OF THE LARGER PAPERS, CONTACT PARROTADOPTIONS@AOL.COM SO A PICKUP CAN BE ARRANGED, IF YOU LIVE WITHIN THE HICKSVILLE/LINDENHURST PERIMETER.

IT TAKES ABOUT 3 HOURS EACH EVENING TO COLLECT, WASH THE BOWLS, PREPARE & DISTRIBUTE THE FOOD FOR 50 BIRDS.

50 PARROT HAVEN BIRDS EAT 3-5 LBS. OF FRUIT A DAY

PARROT HAVEN BIRDS USE OVER 100 DISHES & BOWLS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE DUCT TAPE IS USED TO TRY AND PROTECT THE DRAWERS AS THEY USE THEIR BEAKS TO CLIMB UP TO GET A SNACK.

NOTICE HOW THERE’S NO ROOM FOR HUMAN FOOD, JUST SNACKS FOR THE BIRDS.
