danmcq Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hi All, I came across this rescue and sanctuary doing some research and thought I would share the link. They are a GreYt non profit organization. I wish I lived in close proximity to visit. Judy, this is in your neck of the woods or atleast drivable I believe. :-) http://www.projectperry.com/africangreys.html Project Perry Inc. / The Central Virginia Parrot Sanctuary P.O.

Talon Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 What a wonderful organization. Thanks for sharing this with us. I expect to hear from Judy on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks Dan for the site! Maybe Judy will be able to tell us more about it and maybe even visit it for a bird's eye report!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have heard of it but I have never visited but I plan to if at all possible, it is several hours away but I could make a day of it so I could spend some time there. You have to put your name on a list for they do not do visitations on a daily basis, only at certain times so I will email them and see what happens. Thanks Dan for bringing this to my attention for it is something I will gladly check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 Cool Judy! When you go, you know we will want to see a gazzillion photos. :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 You got it Dan and even though I had heard of it I had no idea they had such a large aviary for just greys, I will do my best to check it out, would make a wonderful day trip, maybe if I can get something planned maybe you could fly out and join me on the visit.

doubletefarm Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 How cool... I don't think it is too terribly far from me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 That's great doubletefarm, I hope you get to go see the new sanctuary/rescue!! If you do , pictures please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaMary Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 OMG Dan - this place looks fantastic. I am so glad there is at least one place like this out there, and I hope word spreads about it and some more of them develop in other parts of the country along this philosophy. Sadly, I'm afraid that the grey's popularity these days is going to make places like this crucial and much-needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I sent an email to the Sanctuary and got a response that I could come on the 6th of June but that date does not work for me as I have training that day for the upcoming election primary on June 9th. I sent a reply for the next available date and haven't heard anything back yet but will keep you informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janfromboone Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Wonderful! I'd like to sponsor a bird. I'll look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 It would be great if several of us who live within driving distance could go together, I plan on making a day of it, I also volunteered myself for a couple of hours while I am there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 What a great idea Judy!!! Wish I lived close!!!! You all will have such a great time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Wow, this is turning into a wonderful thread. :-) It's GreYt to see so many are near by. The idea of many of you going on the same day is a GreYt idea. Maybe have a Grey Forums Volunteer Day? Lots of people going meaning getting to meet each other and of course with all the cameras and camcorders there, lots of photos!!! Woooo Hooo!! Hope it works out. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubletefarm Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I'm up for meeting people there and volunteering some time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 As promised I have arranged to go visit the sanctuary on June 27, I plan to arrive at 11 am to volunteer for a couple of hours then the actual visit starts at 1 pm. I inquired about bringing someone with me and they said I was welcome to bring a friend so if anyone wants to go along with me or meet me there that would be great. I plan to bring my camera to take lots of pictures and will share some with you all here, I especially want to take a lot of the african grey aviary. This will be an all day excursion for me as it will take me several hours to get there and I will probably stay until the visiting hours are over but I am so looking forward to it. Are any of you willing to join me or meet me there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Oh have fun on your excellent adventure, Judy. I wish I lived closer. Can't wait to see some pictures and I hope others can enjoy the sanctuary as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Wow, this is great!

judygram Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I wish you weren't joking, I would love to have you come over and go with me but I understand you can't leave your fids and I don't blame you but the offer still stands for anyone else close enough to go with me, I would love the company.

judygram Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I am supposed to go to the sanctuary next Saturday, June 27th and the offer still stands if anyone wants to go with me. I should get an email any day now with the address and the directions on how to get there but I would love for someone off the forum to go with me if at all possible, I can't wait.

SchroedersJen Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 This place is pretty cool too, and they have directions for building a large ooutdoor aviary out of a costco car port for those of us interested in bigger, better outside time for our fids. Their site seems to be off today, the links are down on it, but when it is back its worth a look. Some of the picks of their grey colony are too friggin cute. http://www.cockatoorescue.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
