The land fund

This property is a real PARROTise. Weeping Willow trees, peace and quiet (at least until we move the birds in), and even a pond. This is a HUGE undertaking for FFFS, but our wonderful group of volunteers have been working day and night to make it happen.

As you may imagine, a project of this type needs a great deal of funding. Our estimates bring the totals to approximated $300,000.00. Now that isn't parrot seed, but we also have some great fund raisers coming up and the faith that someone up there is watching over us to help us succeed. 100% of the proceeds from the upcoming fundraisers (with the exception of the 3% that we will be giving to PDD research from our online auction) will go into our building fund. We have also launched a Capitol Campaign to help raise the much needed funding. All donations are tax deductible.

We will have engraved bricks available for sale as well as naming opportunities for individual rooms. We appreciate any and all donations. We request that if you make a donation, please denote if it should go to the building fund or be used for other purposes (housing, food, toys, etc.).

This is all very exciting and a bit overwhelming at the same time, but we are tired of having the birds in two small warehouse buildings. The new building will have proper quarantine areas, medical area, 5,000 square feet for the birds, separate visiting areas for potential adopters, an educational room, laundry, shower, kitchen, etc. The grounds are beautiful and will allow us to give tours to scouting groups and classrooms, working more toward our education goals.

Thank you for the opportunity to tell you our exciting news. If you live in the area, we are also asking for donations in sweat equity. We need skilled contractors, electricians, plumbers, drywallers, painters, etc. We need you and the birds need you. If you have some time and talent, please contact us. It is the perfect time of year to start work on our new building and we must have it completed and functional by the fall.

THANK YOU!

Don't breed don't buy, adopt a needy bird today!
