EFGriffith Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Free Flight is a small-in-size bird sanctuary attached to a veterinary practice in Del Mar, Calif. They take in "unwanted" birds, breed some of the more exotic birds for conservation, board, and do shows to educate the public on birds. While I was there they were scheduling a show for a preschool. Free Flight is working on getting their Non-Profit designation, and I think they do an amazing service to the avian species. These are some pics I was able to take while I was there: Abby is a HAM! This is her during a shower she gave herself from her water dish: Oscar and I kind of had a love-hate thing going on. Sometimes he wanted to cuddle up, others he didn't want anything to do with me. Silly bird! As you can tell, I'm not quite comfortable with the larger breeds yet. Casper has to wear this collar always to keep him from plucking. Sometimes when people pay him too much attention, he'll try to pluck when they leave. Another pretty 'too. Sorry, I can't remember your name, birdie! Aaaand munchie time, yum!
