They also have a great little shop within the rescue for your bird supplies that will also help with the birds staying there. Warning to those that are thinking about adopting, they only allowing adoption if they know that the birds will be well taken care & your home will become the birds forever home. I betting once you do, you be coming back. I highly recommend the rescue to everybody that has an interest in birds from the just curious to the advance bird caretaker to come check them out. They allow us to spend long hours there as we try to learn & determine whether or not we can adopt a bird into our household. Unknowingly, I feel they have helped my daughter make progress with several of her issues during her visits because of who they are by making her feel safe & welcomed whenever she comes allowing us to help with the birds when she is able & fielding the numerous questions that she fires at them constantly which is allowing her to learn in a way that she doesn't resent & resist are just a few examples. The staff/volunteers there are just as wonderful & accepting with her as they are with all the birds that come under their roof.

We discovered the rescue last year & have visited it multiple times since. 1 of the rare times that she will try to venture out is for trips to places that has animals because animals is 1 of the few things that makes her happy. She has great anxiety whenever she leaves the house. My daughter is an emotionally & mentally challenged teenager. Through education we hope to break the cycle of parrots being bounced from home to home Community Stories 15 Stories from Volunteers, Donors & Supporters

Programs: We participate in Lancaster CARES and other outreach events to educate people on how to properly take care of their parrots. Geographic areas served: Lancaster and surrounding areas Target demographics: parrots find forever homes, to educate the public on parrots. Results: We have found forever homes for over 1,000 birds since we first opened our doors. In order to reduce the numbers of birds needing relocation, we will provide educational materials to the public so that they may be better informed about the needs of companion birds. If this is not possible, we have a companion bird friendly facility devoted to caring for displaced parrots as well as foster homes that will foster birds until a suitable adoption can be arranged. We will provide education for current owners in an attempt to keep a bird in his or her current home. Then they noticed that the juvenile eagle that could fly had stayed perched high in a tree up the hill from the nest the entire time the men searched for its sibling.Mission: Our mission is to to find loving and nurturing homes for displaced companion birds. The steep hillside and cliffs made for a “very arduous hour and a half,” Schellhammer said of the rescue effort. The men first searched the grounds around the nest tree and came up empty. Steel officials alerted the Game Commission, and Game Warden Denton Schellhammer arrived Monday evening to work with German to capture the bird. The mill sent the images to an animal rehabber who confirmed the bird was missing flight feathers and could be having problems. The webcam was a “divine intervention,” German said.

“In some of the close-ups, you could see that the tail feathers were really ratty, and it lost about six of its primary feathers,” German said. PixCams worked with the steel company to pull the feed capturing the whereabouts of the young bird.įootage on Monday showed multiple failed attempts by the eagle to fly.

The eagle disappeared for a while then was seen on camera sitting on a branch near the webcam. The young eagle that didn’t fly hadn’t been flapping its wings and practicing as much as his sibling, said Don German, manager of the U.S. The webcam documented one young eagle flying away while the other was knocked off the branch and dropped down to a lower branch. Steel plant along the Monongahela River took its first flight and accidentally knocked its siblings off a branch on Sunday.Ī live webcam installed by PixCams of Murrysville caught all of the action. One of two young bald eagles raised at the aerie below the U.S. Steel Irvin Works and the Pennsylvania Game Commission rescued a juvenile bald eagle in the vicinity of its nest on the steel plant’s grounds in West Mifflin.
