Hi to All,
I first want to say to all that check for updates regularly, I am sorry that it is months between updates. Winter is here and hopefully I will have more time, ha that is a funny one!!!!
All is going well, and I still have so many things I want to do and am working on enlisting help to help me do it, so hopefully soon we can all join on the computer and make use of this wonderful world of technology.
Next week on Nov 20 I am going to Springfield to take the workshop and test for certification as a Humane Investigator. This would give me the ability to investigate birds that are said to be living in inhumane circumstances and do something about it. I am very excited about it and will update you later. I want to than Dr. Ken Welle for the wonderful letter of support that he gave me. Dr Ken and his staff are very supportive of our efforts and we give them all very special birdie kisses.
I was so honored to be submitted to WCIA news as an "Angel Among Us" and they aired the piece on Mon. Nov 11 and it was just amazing. I am far from an angel and you all know that but I was so thrilled for what it meant to the babies that are in the rescue in need of homes and the babies that are out there in need of a place to come to. I cannot thank Jennifer Roscoe and WCIA enough for what they have done to help all of the fids in need (feathered kids) for you newbies. I am working on downloading to the web page but if you want to see it before, go to illinoishomepage.net, angels among us and click on bird woman.
I will try to post again soon.
Cindy

Hi everyone, first I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving from Terry and I and our flock. I thought I would give everyone a quick update on what has been going on since I posted last. I went to Springfield on Nov 20 and took the exam for humane investigator for the State of Illinois, I would be the first I hope of many to follow that took it stricktley for Birds. I think I passed, it was not an easy test by any stretch of the imagination but apparently it take about 1 month before you find out so I will let everyone know when I know. I cann't than Clay Foley, the humane investigator from the Champaign County Humane Society enough for all of the help and the ride to Springfield for the test. There is nothing better than all of the local orginizations working together for the same end.
This week has been very busy for me Monday I went to Linclon and picked up 2 amazons, 2 budgies and 3 thingyaties. Tuesday I went to Springfield and picked up "Feller" a 25 year old, wild caught timenah grey, and Wed. the shelter received a 6 year old quaker parrot. All the babies are wonderfully healthy and doing well and I will post their pictures soon on the website.
Terry and I will be going to Florida on the 3rd for 10 days, I will have my computer and my phone so if you need me just call. I have the shelter and my babies all arranged for while I am gone so I hope it is a restfull vacation.
Please keep Sharon Ackerman in your thoughts and prayers as she is having surgery next week for the removal of a implant gone bad in her jow. It will be a long, long recovery and then a new implant will have to be put in next yearl.
Again, Happy Thanksgiving to ALL

Hi to All,
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving, we sure did. I just wanted to give a quick update to thosed who have not already heard. Yes indeed CC is finally exactly where she needs to be and that is in the pen in Texas. This will only mean anything to the old faithfulls but you all know what it means to me. I wish I could tell you she got natural life plus 20 but no such case in probably a year or so she will be in search of her next victims. I know one state she better not try to come back to because the long arms of the law will be waiting for here just like they were in Texas.
I hope this put a smile on a lot of faces and I will write soon.
Cindy

Hi to all as we embark on 2009, I assume everyone survived the holidays and packed them up for another year. So much to share, I did pass the exam for Avian Humane Investigator and am the first of what I hope will be many in the State of Illinois. I am in the process of seeking help from volunteers for mainting the website, updating it, helping in the shelter and so many jobs that one person can not do. If you have spare time and want to help in any way please email me.
If you look at birds in the rescue you will see the newest flock member, she is a month old today, female eclectus, her name is "Ruby Tuesday" and is an adorbably sweet little baby girl. Mom did not think so , as she decided she was done with her and she was in a very bad state when I picked her up but is eating well and gaining strength everyday. My days and nights are pretty busy now with a newborn but the rewards are many. I am thinking about setting up to have a web cam on her for an hour or two a week and let the amazing growing process be shared with all that are interested. You could see the amazing changes. watch her eat and all of the cool things that are seen by so few. If you would like this, e mail and let me know and we will put it together. I am going to start a "Baby Blog" so you can keep up too with the growing process. I hope this all sounds like fun to you, let me know/
Cindy

 Hi to All from Florida,
I am back in Florida for a few more days, it will be hard to leave here for the weather that you have in Illinois. I can't wait to get back and see my babies and all the babies in the rescue. They of course have the best of care from Roxy, Cindy and Lynn but I still miss them.
As soon as I get back , I am setting up a baby cam for viewing, for 1 hour once a week so everyone can watch Ruby Tuesday grow. I think this will be a great educational experience and can't wait.
Cindy
