Donating Supplies

[cassiophys]

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this, I'm still getting the lay of the land.

My baby tiel passed away on Thursday and another 44 oz bag of her pellets is coming in soon. I don't want it to go to waste. If anyone knows a rescue, sanctuary, or home (preferably in Southwest Florida, but I'm willing to ship it) that takes Roudybush Daily Maintenance Crumble, I'd really appreciate some suggestions.

I also have about 22oz of untouched pellets. I doubt anyone takes opened bags of pellets, but she never got to the container (or had any direct contact with anything that did) and it was always stored separately and safely in our pantry. If these could be donated, I'd appreciate some suggestions. Otherwise, could I feed them to our wild birds? I think Rhodie would be happy knowing that the food she never got to eat is making other birds happy.

That is a very kind offer.
I´m very sorry for your loss.

After my budgie died, I contacted our vet and they were able to get his perishables (food, medicine, etc) to a rescue they work with. Even the open stuff, including all the chop I had in the freezer.

I'm sorry for your loss

Thank you so much for this, I didn't even think about the medicine! I'll definitely jot it down and keep it in mind as I sort through things

@finchly lives near. She may know

My vet also took all of the food items left after my Jasper died and sent them to a rescue that he works with.

There are always rescues or people known to the vet clinic who would gratefully take even the open stuff.

Just thinking....... if you are considering getting another bird sometime soon it may be worth keeping it all for then?

Depending on where you are, there’s a bird sanctuary in Naples, one in Sarasota, a rescue in Punta Gorda, and I think Florida Parrot Rescue is in Tampa.

Are any of those close?

 

[finchly]

Oh I just re-read. I doubt that wild birds would eat pellets, since they’re an unknown to them. If you’re fairly close to me I would pay you for the opened ones. We could always use them. I’m in Punta Gorda.
I’m sorry for your loss.

The sparrows here love when I throw out the left over pellets. They swarm over them more than the seed or people scraps I throw out.

Rhodie was our first bird, so I think we'll be dealing with this for a while. I don't see us getting another bird for a year at least, but thank you for the suggestion.

That's very kind of you, but I don't think I could accept payment for the open pellets. I am more than happy just to be able to give them to you and your flock. I'm in North Fort Myers, but a drive your way would make for a good outing and fresh air. Let us know if you want us to do contactless delivery or if you'd like them shipped. I really appreciate it As for the rescues and sanctuaries, thank you!! I'll check them out and see which one I can send the unopened bag to.

@cassiophys you are a very kind person. Most bird people are very kind. I am so sorry you lost your bird. Stay healthy.

Thank you so much! I will send you a private message. Perfect timing too, as I'm out.
