The morning of 12/21/15, the 2nd ‘snowfall’ of this winter, and the 1st time the pond started to freeze (but only for a few days). Some of the angels didn’t want to come up to eat, so… daddy went to THEM! Spoiled? Yes! It was quite a typically active morning as you can see and […]
Please note that this story was written Saturday 11/28/15. On Saturday, 11/21/15, I received an email from my friend Dorothy, who runs Sasha Farms, and she stated that she recently received an email from Anna, who was in a desperate need to find a nice home for her Green Winged Scarlet Macaw (aka Red and […]
Another busy day, another busy week, another busy month for rescues here at the Sanctuary. It started in Flatrock, in the Huron Metropark area (almost an hour away), and ended in Belleville. Five total rescues: a goose with a damaged wing, a male Rouen with a swollen head, possibly an infection, another male rouen, a […]

At the Sanctuary, we do not recognize winter until the first snowfall, and boy, did we recognize it yesterday! Even a few leaves aren’t willing to give up their ‘Fall’ just yet!
Morning greetings from the hungry committee! I usually get up just about dawn, walk into my office which is located just above the ‘resident’s sleeping quarters’, press a button, and the restless ‘flock’ storm out! About an hour later, I too emerge, from a less populated sleeping arrangement, to be pleasantly greeted by a boisterous […]
The Summer green has passed us now, the leaves have fallen low – soon, the final season comes, along with glistening Snow! We in Michigan, are truly blessed to appreciate the Four Seasons of God’s design. To know – just one, or two, or even three, would leave us incomplete, we need the fourth to […]
