We just turned 2,902 viewings when somehow I inadvertently erased the Pueblo Rescue and all of its wonderful comments. If you have made a comment please do so again. If you have passed the URL of this video on to someone, please put the new one up. This video has helped our donations and I feel terrible that I messed this up.

A truly heartbreaking story.

The people at the Gabriel Foundation are one of the most dedicated group of caretakers I have had the privilege of meeting and watching, 

Walking through the facility & meeting the staff and teams of volunteers reaffirms that there are still heros among us that are willing to sacrifice themselves, their energies, time, compassion, finances and ultimately their hearts to make every day better for these highly intelligent, empathic creatures.

Thank ;you!

The good work the Gabriel Foundation does is beyond words. Parrots are intelligent and beautiful beings. We who are blessed with their friendship love them like our children. I wept watching this video - I urge you, please donate to this most worthy cause. I have done so for years and know every bit helps.
