Not sure if this is the right place for this... so please (re)move if needed.

Is anyone on AA affiliated with this individual/group: Home page Cockatoo Rescue and Sanctuary

They look like they were doing some really interesting work and I was hoping to learn more. (They mention that they will be posting soon on a Galah colony, but the site appears to be unchanged for quite a few years.) I'm not looking to rehome my fids, but am curious if the place still exists and if it does, how the colony system is working a decade later. :)

I've never heard of them, but I like their setup. If it's anything like the pictures it must be amazing. :)

I read about this place years ago but forgot about it! Yeah, I'm very curious to hear any updates. :)

I looked over the site many times, as I was interested in the way they built their aviaries.

The web page has been static for many years. It's located in Washington. It would be nice to know the state of the sanctuary.

This Fb page is a group out of the UK. Can't be the same people.

I have heard of people complaining about them but you have to take that with caution. I never know what to think of rescues and sanctuaries these days because it's such a hard business to get into. I am on their email list and never see anything from them.

That's interesting that the BBB review was so recent (2016) but the website was so long neglected (2007). I guess they were still up and running a couple of years ago?

I found their site a while ago and was intrigued by their colony setups. I'd love to know if they're still going.
