In January, our junior volunteers supported our bird adoptions in recognition of Adopt a Rescued Bird Month. The juniors learned about the care involved in owning a pet bird and why shelters promote bird adoptions versus purchasing a bird from the pet store.
Our guest speaker, Ms. Cheryl Alexander, who wrote a parrot guide book, gave complimentary copies to our juniors. They also worked on crafts activities including making bird hangers and bird Cheerio feeders, decorating our adoption center with birds, making a poster board on what to do if you find a baby bird, playing bird bingo, learning bird anatomy, and working on other activities to grow their knowledge about avian species.
