    Many of you read my notes on the bird rescue I was involved in recently
    and again may I say "thank you !!" to all the people who offered
    support.  Through this I have come to realize a need for my rescue
    efforts to be continued.  I have long been aware of dog/cat rescue and
    have done what I could to help.  Now it seems that as birds become more
    popular as pets there is a growing problem of unwanted birds.  The
    reasons are many and varied and most are valid.
      Many Humane shelters are not equipped to handle birds
    and breeders are understandably reluctant to take in strange birds.
    SOOOO................ that leaves me and the newly formed...

    it will be a slow start as I am doing this out of my home.(actually my
    dining room table) but for birds in need, like the last group I had it
    was the only place they had.  If anyone is interested in becoming
    involved please contact me.  I imagine at some time I may need extra
    foster homes and I'm always in need of volunteers to refer people to
    for the questions that I can't answer.  Comments, suggestions, and
    information are always welcome.

    I have received much positive support off line in regards to the base
    note for which I am very greatful.  Phoenix Avian Rescue is located in
    Francestown NH  (603) 547-6890.  If there are birds in need out of the
    area please contact me and I may be able to make some arrangements for 
    shipping or pick up.
