You can help - please vote

You may have previously read of the work by Gloria Fantin (G A Fantin Services, Alberta Beef) rescuing and relocating parrots at the World Parrot Refuge located on Vancouver Island. The refuge provides a permanent home for pet parrots that have been abandoned or can no longer be looked after by their owners. The Pepsi Refresh Project (www.refresheverything.ca) is offering funds to proposals which receive the most votes, and the Parrot rescue is one of those in the running for $25,000 - which would help feed the sanctuary's 800+ birds for about 6 months.

You can help by registering on the site and voting for the refuge. While there are lots of worthwhile projects in the running for a variety of funds, the World Parrot Refuge is certainly worth supporting. You can vote for them at: www.refresheverything.ca/helpfeedtherefugeparrots. Vote daily!
