We Love Our Work
The best part of running our rescue is
the updates we receive on these
beautiful birds and reptiles. It makes
us happy to know that each and
every one that comes into our home
goes to a family that will love them
as much as we did. We post these
comments for the families that for
some reason had to give up their pet
to us. We like to show them the
progress they have made with us and
inform them of the new adoptive
parents when possible.

Ms. Jo,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to return my phone call asap and helping me to
understand what was going on with Chi Chi. I tried contacting several rescues and stores
and no one had the time for me or would even return my calls. Your knowledge has really
helped me understand her better and what she needs. I took your advice about positive
reinforcement and it has helped dramatically. If you do not mind, i would love to call you
from time to time and see if maybe I can get anymore advice, if needed. I thank you for
what you do and keep up the good work.
God bless
Jeremy Stone
Hi Jo
How is your whole bird kingdom and your family ? We are doing absolutely wonderful. I
wouldnt give my girl Misfit up for anything. She is doing great with everyone in the house.
We love her so much and she knows it too. She says her I I's and kisses and tells my dogs to
"C'mon in."...when I whistle for them. Too cute. She gets along with them too. She is almost
at the point of sitting on my black labs back for a ride. She already lays with him on the sofa
and snuggles. personally I think he likes her clicking her beak cause he gets a rubby from
that. Its funny. As soon I get this camera thing figured out, I will send some pictures.
(might be more than you really want, but she is sooo cute) But I just wanted to do an update
for you now.
Again, our house is so glad to have her in it. She is wonderful. Sometimes she cops an
attitude toward new things, but we both look at each other as if we know whats right to
do.....usually I win tho and she is good with it then. I have learned that cockatoos are
definitely 3 year olds. (the temperment) But its all good. I learned to work thru it. She is a
good girl and she knows it....she knows we all love her I I's so thats her ploy when she
wants us and of course everyone caves in....lolol

Oh Jo, thank you so much!!! 03/2008
After leaving your home we encountered an incredible storm on the way home and a huge
pine tree was struck by lightning and shut the route 70 down to a crawl. We lost our internet
and just right now got it back so I wanted to email you to find out how Peaches was doing. I
am so happy to see she looks so happy and at ease. She really is an awesome adaptable
sweetie and as long as she is with someone like you who will care for her as she deserves I
am so happy! I left feeling so good leaving her with you and I know she could not be in
better hands. I hope you and your family are doing well. We are have a lot of financial
issues and having one less parrot to feed does help. I cant thank you enough for the peace of
mind I have. There is no amount of money that can buy that! Some people thought I was
crazy not to just sell her and I thought you have no clue as what loving an animal really is.
We want them to be happy, for their spirit to be at peace. I have worked with animals most
of my life and I certainly didn't choose this career for the money. Its an incredibly low
paying career. If I ever do get to a place where I dont need to work outside the home I will
do what you do. I have always wanted to be able to take unwanted animals and parrots are
not as popular to rescue as dogs and cats because a lot of people are just not into birds.
I will be in touch to see how Peaches is doing. Thanks so much Jo! You are a rarity!! A true
angel!!!
Take care, Fondly, Joan
Jo, 03/2008
Hello. Thanks so much for having my family over on Sunday to let us meet you and your
birds. It was obvious that you have a passion for what you do and that your birds are well
cared for. It was also important to us to hear about the screening that you do for the people
interested in adopting. We would like to know if you would be able to take our birds into
your rescue. Despite our best efforts, they are simply not getting the attention and tender
loving care that they deserve.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Dana
thanks for the help 02/2008
comments = We wanted to thank Jody and Travis for all their help. we got hooked up with a
breeder who was less than honest about the animal we purchased it was way to much for
us to handle and every were we called for help said that if they couldn't handle the animal
they would put it to sleep, well that was not an option just because we couldn't handle it
doesn't mean it deserved to die anyway by chance I found Jody and Travis on the internet. I
called and they were so kind and helpful and provided our reptile with the care it needed. So
thank you so much for your honesty and kindness
Hayley and Rob
jodi,
thank you so much for the pictures. i love to see her looking so happy! it looks like her tail
feathers are growing in again in the one picture. how is she doing with feather picking? has
she had any of her nighttime screaming? i am so so happy to see her with tiki. pictures like
that really make me feel good and reassure me that i did the right thing. i must say that i
never thought i would miss her screaming, but the house seems so empty without that.
walking in from work is so weird now without hearing "hello" as soon as i walk in the door.
thanks you again and if you need anything at all, please let me know. take care and i will be
in touch.

Jodi,
I am so happy that Gizzy is taking to Chicken so well, I was skeptical since she has
never been around her own kind. I actually teared up again when I saw the pictures
......that's wonderful. You're a really good person Jodi, what you do for those parrots is
remarkable. It does my heart good to see Gizzy fitting in so well. I can hardly believe it, but
the pictures say everything. I see my decision was the very best Gizzy could have ever
gotten, I'm so happy for her. Thank you again Jodi, I truly enjoyed meeting you and your
family. I hope you don't mind if I email you from time to time to see how she's doing, I
promise I won't be a pest. Thank you again for helping make my decision on Gizzy's
placement, I don't believe she would have fit in anywhere else as she has right there, and
again bless you and do what you do. .
Hi Jo and Travis. Just wanted to let you know we really like your new website. Cricket is
really doing great. At first she was not playing with anything. She will now play with any toy
we put in her house.She will try about any fruit or veggie we put in her bowls, just loves
carrots! She is not a snuggle bunny or anything but will let us clean her house and take her
bowls and place them back in without any trouble. We cover her at night and she is now fine
with that too.In my eyes she has come a long way in the short time we have had her.We
thank you so much for letting her come in our home. I will send you a better picture of her to
show.Please feel free to post all or part of this. You guys are just great in doing waht you do
for all these guys and girls.
Henry & Ann
I wanted to say thank you for all your help with bubbles. I would like everyone to know that
these people do not only help rescue birds but they help you with problems your own bird
may have. I was ready to give my amazon up for adoption but with their help and
suggestions, we have been able to stop Bubbles from screaming all the time. She worked
with me over the phone for a few weeks until we were able to find a solution that worked.
Thank You so much
Lynn
Hi,
It feels so different in my house now without "bippy-dip" every couple seconds:) Hope you
had a good first night. I just wanted to write to let you know how happy I am that Gully
likes you guys I expected to drive away in tears but I drove away happy as a clam...sad to
have to let him go but happy he's found new love. btw the only fruit he likes is bananas
kathy
Hi Jo,
Just a note to let you and Travis know it was a pleasure to meet both of you and all your
gorgeous reptiles. We cannot thank you both enough for helping us with our darling Sam. I
am so thrilled for him to have the home he deserves and the care he needs which goes
beyond my training, education and capabilities. I will always be grateful for playing a small
part in saving his life from goodness what and always will be grateful to Sam for allowing
me the honor to care for him if only for a brief time. He is truly an amazing animal. We miss
him. Thank you both for everything! Please keep in touch I would love to see him and hear
from you both on his progress and happiness within his new family.
Kind Regards,

U r a wonderful lady and your husband is great with reptiles. I could see how much he
cares. I wrote to the website and told them how kind and compassionate u both are and
how I feel u r such an asset to the reptile rescue. Please keep in touch and u know where I
live, if ever u want to just come down and have a cup of coffee and visit - u can meet my new
dog - she is a Boxer 5 years old.. a rescue.. her owner went to a nursing home and died
there.. she is such a sweet girl. Again, Jodi, thank
u so very much for all u have done..
B
Jo,
I just wanted to thank you so much for taken him into your rescue center. You have been so
helpful and kind in this difficult decision. I was so happy you allowed us to be apart of the
adoption process when you found him a good home. It really eased our mind's to know he
was adopted out to a good family with great knowledge. No other rescues we talked to
would allow us to stay in contact and check up on him nor would they allow us to be apart
of the adoption to adopt him out. We are so thankful for you and the work you do.
Thank You and GOD BLESS
B.L and family
Taco is doing good. She is eating well. She really likes Dale she comes to me but if he is
around she goes right to him. She also goes to the kids. We love having her around she
makes me laugh when she yells when I walk out of the room. She brings alot of joy to our
family.
Jackie
Hi Jodi-
Just wanted to check in and see how Iggy is doing and say thank you very much for
everything! Honestly I'm a bit upset tonight coming home to the empty (well, lack of Iggy)
house making me wonder if I did the right thing. I guess I'm trying to think what's best for
Iggy at this point and I was really impressed with how you guys take care of all your
animals. So anyway, thanks again and I'd appreciate just letting me know how he's doing. I
have a box of misc stuff that I forgot to bring such as bulbs, plastic logs, etc. Would you like
me to mail them out to you or are you pretty stocked on stuff?
Cya-

We are glad to be the parents and owner of Lazer.
when we got him. the trip home was fun. he road on my chest while my husband drove ans
sleep the whole way except the last 20 min of the ride he was up and moving around our car
investigating his some what new environment. and when we got him in the house. he did not
want to move from our bed room that is where he stayed until about a month then he was all
over the house and getting in to things and we are very glad he is in our life.
faith fredley
Thank you for giving a new opportunity to my two crested geckos and my leopard geckos.
I'm so very happy to see that Jack got himself a new home and I hope his owners love him
as much as I still do. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have found him a loving, caring home
that could take more time for him then I myself could. Thank you again, I hope to hear of
the successful adoption of the other "babies" of mine.
